  Sorry if this is a stupid question, but where do all those different fabrics come from: Embroidered Dupioni silk, Satin, Chiffon, pleated organze inset with welvet band? Nothing apart from the Organze thing is mentioned anywhere. And what exactly is a pleated organza inset with velvet band? Sorry, i’m just a confused beginner :) thanks for the help.

    that is just reccomended fabrics. As you can see in the finished project pictures there are many different that can be used with this pattern. Personally, I find cotton the easiest to learn on.

  When I try to get to the page where I can download the pattern, it’s blank. Like the pattern itself is just flat out missing. I tried both the “print at home” and “print at copyshop” options and nothing happens. I want to make this NOW NOW NOW!! someone please help!

    Did you try the “save as” option ? Just right click on the “Print pattern at home”, and click on “Save as…” or something similar (I don’t know which browser you’re using :) ). Then you just need to choose the directory into which you want to save your pdf. Open it and enjoy ?

    Good luck !
