Download your pattern pieces
Every pattern piece needed to make all of garments in The Great British Sewing Bee: Fashion with Fabric can be accessed through the links below.

The pieces that you need are always listed in the Cutting Guide instructions supplied at the beginning of each project within the book.


A4 paper size pdf downloads
If you plan to print out the pattern pieces on a domestic printer, then choose the A4 paper size pdf downloads. Once you have downloaded the pattern pieces, you simply need to print out all the pages from that pdf file onto separate sheets of A4 paper. The pdf has been formatted to print on standard A4 paper (297mm x 210mm) and must be printed at 100%. Some pattern pieces fit neatly onto a single sheet of paper, whereas others are too large and so carry on over two or more sheets. To piece together the pattern templates that are too large to fit onto a single sheet, lay out all the A4 pages and match up the the corresponding black boxes – for example, place the two boxes labelled 2B together. Once each sheet is matching up with its adjoining pages, trim each page along the crop marks with a ruler and a craft knife or cut neatly with scissors. Next, tape all the pages together in sequence. Repeat to attach any additional pages as necessary.

A0 paper size pdf downloads
If you have a local print store or copy shop that can print A0 size, then choose the A0 paper size pdf downloads. By getting A0 paper size printouts of the pattern pieces, you will avoid having to trim and stick together lots of sheets of A4 paper.
