Frequently asked questions

What's the skill level for this pattern?
Beginner-friendly. Every GigiZanti pattern comes with a step-by-step sew-along video tutorial on YouTube, so you can sew along with me from start to finish. If you can use a sewing machine, you can sew this.

What file formats do I get?
A4, US Letter and A0 copy-shop PDFs. Print at home on a regular printer, send the A0 to a copy shop, or use any of them on a projector. All pages are layered so you can show only your size.

Do you really grade every size XS to 5XL?
Yes. Every size in the range is drafted and tested, not auto-extended after the fact. The size chart is in the product images. If you fall between sizes, the sew-along video shows how to grade between them.

Can I sell what I make from this pattern?
Yes, you're welcome to use GigiZanti patterns to make items for your small sewing business or handmade brand. The pattern itself is for personal use only and can't be resold or redistributed.
