WHAT DO I GET WITH MY PURCHASE?

Please note you are purchasing a digital pattern that will be sent directly to your email inbox after payment. You can print this pattern at home on A4 or US letter-sized paper or take it to a print shop for large scale printing (AO size). *You will not receive a hard copy printed pattern.*

Instant download available immediately after checkout includes:

1. Instructions

2. PAH Pattern file (PAH=Print at home)
For printing in A4 or US Letter on a home printer. Printing at home is the most cost-effective, and sticking your pattern tiles together to make your full size pattern is easy. Further information for printing at home can be found in our Resources section here. 

3. AO Pattern file
AO is a large scale file designed to be printed at a Print Copy Shop. You cannot print this on your home printer as it is too big. If you choose to use this large file you will pay extra to have it printed but you do not have to stick anything together.

You can use the ADOBE LAYERS FEATURE to open the PAH pattern file and print only the size you need (and eliminate the "noise" of the unwanted sizes). You can also use the URL and bookmark links within the file to quickly access information and support. Download Adobe Reader for free (for Windows and Mac) here.

4. Video tutorial support for completing a professional yoke finish, adjusting fit around your bust (FBA) and adding snap fasteners.

Summer, Winter, dressy, casual and good quality!
Size: Medium, Color: Alanis, Size: Medium, Color: Alanis
Well this was a hit. Super good quality. Firm fabric that holds it shape wash after wash. My daughter wears it w a variety of outfits but it is her go to jacket to grab on the way out the door. We live in Florida and it's perfect to take along for transitions of sundress into colder air-conditioned movies, church etc. It went everywhere with us on the cruise. My daughter is 11 but more of a size of a 9 year old. The fit is slightly large but perfect to fit her now... and hopefully into our mild winter. It's the lighter colored jacket on the brunette.

Great Jean jacket
Size: Medium, Color: Alanis, Size: Medium, Color: Alanis
This jacket is very cute and looks exactly like the pictures. The denim and style are classic Levi’s and it goes with just about everything. The only downside is that, like most Levi’s denim, there is very little to no stretch. I would definitely recommend sizing up, especially if your child is between sizes or plans to wear layers underneath. Daughter typically wears an 8 and this jacket is a 10-12.

Perfect Jacket for a Custom Barbie Look!
Size: Small, Color: Bristol
I bought this Levi’s denim jacket to make a custom Barbie jacket for my daughter, and it turned out amazing! The quality is exactly what you’d expect from Levi’s - thick, durable denim that holds iron-on patches really well. It fits true to size and was the perfect blank canvas for all the fun, girly patches we added. My daughter is 6 years old and wears a XS/S in girls clothes. I got her this jacket in SMALL and it fits her well, but also leaves her room to grow. My daughter absolutely loves it and gets compliments everywhere she goes. Highly recommend for any DIY project or as a stylish staple on its own!
