Eva Tops and Sundress PDF Sewing Pattern

The remaining pattern pieces are rectangles that you can draw directly on your fabric (or paper) and then cut out, saving you paper and fabric.

This digital pattern includes an illustrated, step-by-step instruction booklet, a print-at-home layered pattern for letter or A4 size paper, a US copy shop pattern, an A0 size pattern and a projector pattern. All pattern files have layers. Pattern files are separated by cup size so that you can easily print only the pattern pieces that you need.
