a peek inside: Pattern Essentials
In the Pattern Essentials tier, you’ll get the complete digital pattern (PDF, formatted for Letter, A4, and A0 printing) that includes layered sizes that you can turn on/off for easy cutting. The pattern page assembly requires no trimming! The illustrated instructions will walk you through garment construction, step by step. Plus, enjoy my Height Adjustment Calculator to customize your perfect fit based on your height.
These resources will give you the basics for a straightforward DIY project.
a peek inside: Pattern Pro
Upgrade to Pattern Pro, and you’ll get everything in Pattern Essentials, PLUS you'll get a printed paper pattern, shipped straight to your door— no fusssy taping or gluing pages together.
Plus, this tier unlocks detailed Video Tutorials to walk you through each step of the project. Stuck on a tricky part? Need visual guidance for a perfect stitch? No worries—these videos have you covered!
The printed instruction booklet will have QR codes leading you to that exact step in the video tutorial.
It’s like having me by your side in your sewing studio, guiding you through every detail.
(And you'll still get the digital PDF pattern if you ever want to print at home or order more copies).

It's probably not right for you if...
❌ You want to use stretchy knit fabrics—this pattern is best suited for woven non-stretch like linen or cotton.
❌ You have a bust size above ~48", this one's not quite ready yet!
❌ You want a fully pre-made garment—this one’s for the DIY makers out there! (but good news, you can find this garment in my clothing shop!)
Happy sewing!

What if I'm a beginner?The Pattern Pro edition of this pattern would be best suited for you! This will help you save time and frustration on things like pattern printing, and give you the extra interactive support of the video tutorial. Instead of sewing with expensive linen, I recommend that you use something inexpensive on your first try-- perhaps an old bedsheet! I also recommend that newbies check out my tutorials on YouTube for additional support!
-
Where do you ship to?Charlie Darwin Textiles is based in Philadelphia, PA, USA. I ship Internationally. HOWEVER... be aware that international orders sometimes incur Customs/Duty fees for the buyer, which are the responsibility of the buyer to pay at the time of receipt. I don't keep track of which countries have these fees, so please google it before making your purchase! Pattern Pro shipping is FREE to the U.S. and varies internationally. Sewing Kit shipping is based on package weight and your location (both domestically and internationally). Shipping prices are calculated at checkout. INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: If you want access to Pattern Pro and do NOT want the printed pattern shipped to you (likely because the shipping cost is so high), then email me for a free-shipping discount code. By using this code, you acknowledge that you will NOT receive the printed pattern (instead, you could still use the digital PDF files to get it printed locally!)
-
Is the pattern customizable?Yes! There are several variations you can choose from (short sleeves vs long sleeves; hip length vs above-the-knee length vs midi length skirt; traditional vs band collar). AND you can easily customize your pattern by height! I show you exactly how much to adjust it with my special height adjustment calculator.
-
What fabric is best for this pattern?I recommend using linen, cotton, or other woven non-stretch fabrics for the perfect boho look and feel. But experimenting with other fabrics is encouraged!
-
What if I need help during the sewing process?The Pattern Pro and Ultimate Sewing Kit tiers come with interactive video tutorials that walk you through each step. If you still feel stuck, shoot me an email!
-
What sizes does the pattern come in?The pattern includes 9 sizes, which fit bust sizes between 32"-49". If you're unsure, check out our body size chart and finished garment chart (under the "Pattern Details" section) for detailed measurements.
-
When will my items be shipped? (Pro & Kit)Paper patterns will be shipped within 2 -3 business days after you place your order. Sewing kits will be shipped within 1 week after you place your order. NOTE: Paper patterns may be shipped straight from a printing business (located in Texas) and will arrive separately from the sewing kit supplies.
-
What kind of paper is the pattern printed on? (Pro & Kit)The sewing pattern is printed on 3 large sheets of 20lb white paper. No taping required! The lines for each size are printed in different colors and have different dash styles. The pattern will be shipped to you folded in a 9x12" envelope. Before sewing, I recommend you iron out the creases in the paper with a warm iron. Printed instructions will be included with the pattern.
-
Does the Sewing Kit include serger/overlocker thread?The kit includes 2 spools of regular sewing machine thread in 100% cotton, but does not include serger/overlocker thread.
-
Is the fabric safe for sensitive skin types? (Sewing Kit)Yes! This is some of the most skin-safe fabric available on the market. The fabric is OEKO-TEX certified to be free from harmful toxins and chemicals. There are two undyed options (bright white and off-white) which are likely the most hypo-allergenic. All of the colored fabrics have been hand-dyed with pigments from plants. No detergents or chemical softeners have been used on these fabrics. Note: True black has been commercially dyed with eco-friendly dyes and are still AZO-free. Learn more about my fabrics here, and more about my dyes here.
-
Can I order this garment already made?Yes! While this pattern is designed for DIYers, you can also order a finished version of the garment from my shop! Shop Clothing >
-
Is there a return policy?For Pattern Essentials and Pattern Pro: due to the nature of digital downloads, we don’t offer returns, but if you run into any issues, I'm happy to help! Sewing kits can be returned if a request to return is filed within 7 days of receipt, with the fabric and thread unused and unaltered. The customer will be refunded for the cost of their order, minus the current cost of Pattern Pro (since that asset cannot be returned) and shipping. Email me at Leah@CharlieDarwinTextiles.com to set up a return.
