A few things
to know.
Am I buying a finished garment?
No. This is a sewing pattern. You choose your own fabric and hardware and make the garment.
What do I receive?
Open the download folder above for the listed formats and resources. Digital is a file download; printed is a physical paper pattern. Check the selected format before purchase.
How do I choose a size?
Use the published measurement chart and compare a similar garment you already own. The comparison tool shows one measurement difference, not a guaranteed fit or automatic size recommendation.
Can I start with just one pattern?
Yes. Each pattern has its own page. Explore the collection links if you would like to build related garments over time.
Where can I share my finished build?
Share with #ROUGHCUTMYOG or visit Community Builds on the Rough Cut website.
