about our size range
At Sew DIY, it’s important to us to provide an inclusive size range. In 2019, we started updating our patterns to include bust/hip sizes from 32 to 58 inches (81-147cm) and to be drafted for a height of 5’10”. Currently, all of our patterns are drafted for this size range. We now also have three patterns with gender neutral views – the Ali Sweatshirt, the Tasi Robe and Jacket and the Quilted Slippers.
Each pattern listing has a size chart and finished garment measurements for you to review before purchase. We encourage you to also refer to the finished garment measurements included in the pattern. In general, our patterns are designed with a lot of ease for an oversized fit that is comfortable to wear and easy to fit. If you prefer a more fitted style, you may want to size down. If you have questions (even if you’re unsure what size to select), please reach out and let us know.
SIZE CHART
We have two patterns that have cup size options, the Miri Tank and Eva Sundress and Top. They both use the size chart below.

THE TASI ROBE AND JACKET DRAFT-IT-YOURSELF™ PATTERN
In May 2020, we released our first Draft-It-Yourself™ pattern, the Tasi Robe and Jacket. Instead of using a size chart, this pattern walks you through each step of designing and drafting your own custom fit pattern. You choose the proportions you’d like and we give you the formulas to draft all the pattern pieces. Because you’re starting from scratch, you can make this garment in any size you like for any human body. If you’re not up for doing the calculations yourself, or just want to double check the math. We’ve created a calculator that does the work for you. The calculator is provided as an Excel spreadsheet and as a Google Sheet template.
We hope to make more Draft-It-Yourself™ patterns in the future. They are a great opportunity to learn about basic pattern drafting and be creative.





These semi-fitted tops and sundress feature a square neckline, side bust darts and are fitted at the back with a combination of narrow elastic and criss-crossed lacing. View A is a crop top that ends at the waistline. View B has a ruffled peplum and ends at the high hip. View C is a dress with a calf-length skirt and ruffle at the hem.
The pattern is a hybrid of a traditional pattern that you need to print and a zero-waste style pattern. You will need to print (or project) the front bodice and front facing pattern pieces. 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.
