How do I download my PDF Pattern?

First, we suggest creating an account in our shop so you can access all your files in one place at any time!

After you place an order, you will land on a page with a custom download link. You can download your pattern then, or use the link included in the order confirmation sent via email. If you don’t receive a download link via email, please check your junk mail as it may have been rerouted (and add us to your safe senders list so it doesn't happen again!)

Am I charged for taxes?

All Canadians are charged GST and possibly PST depending on where they live in Canada. We do not charge taxes in the US.

Customers based in the EU and UK will also be charged VAT on all goods. Regulations have changed in recent years requiring VAT to be collected based on where the customer resides (and not where the company is located) so we are legally required to collect and remit VAT even though our company is based in Canada. You can read more about the VAT regulations here.

What currency will I be charged in?

Use the dropdown at the top of our menu to choose USD, CAD, AUD, GBP, or EUR dollars to view prices and checkout in the currency of your choice.

For AUD, GBP, and EUR currencies, the price you'll see is linked to the daily exchange rate between USD and your currency, which means prices may fluctuate. For our Canadian customers, we have established set prices that will not vary with exchange rates.

Shipping + Returns

Shipping

American customers: Packages in the US are shipped via USPS First Class and Priority Mail twice a week. Please allow 8 to 12 days for your parcel to arrive.

Canadian customers: Your orders are sent via Canada Post letter or parcel post. Please allow 8 to 12 days for your parcel to arrive, and wait up to 3 weeks before contacting us. 

International customers: Estimated delivery dates are listed below the shipping price when you checkout. We have two possible services. International First Class is for packages under 2 kilos and takes approx 10-40 days to arrive depending on your location.

Order tracking

Most shipping services we offer come with a tracking number. This will be sent to you via email you once the order has been processed in our warehouse.

Given the huge volume of mail and the challenges that the pandemic, holiday season, and environmental conditions impose on the performance of the mail service, we ask you to please be patient with the delivery of your packages, and get in touch after 3 weeks for Canadian and US shipments, and 6 weeks for international shipments.

If the above mentioned waiting times have elapsed, please message us about your delay. We’ll be happy to work with you to figure out a solution.

Charlie Caftan

I have been sewing for less than a year, and consider myself a confident beginner.
Previously I have sewn a couple of Cielo tops (short sleeve version), the Cielo dress, Fiore skirt, and Pietra shorts. For all patterns I have found the instructions clear and easy to follow.
I bought the Charlie Caftan with the intent to make a couple: one for an upcoming outdoor birthday party, and also for a trip to Mexico in the Fall, to use mostly as a cover up.
In my research before making my first attempt, I saw how challenging the bodice panel appeared to be. I decided to make Version A (pleats, no gathers in front) using some cotton I had from a thrift store. I did watch a very helpful You Tube sew along (Flying Bobbins) and felt I coulf give it a go!
The bodice panel did not turn out the best, especially after I chose to sew on the inside bodice panel cover piece by machine.... but the dress is wearable. I did see where I could improve though, so I thought the practice was worthwhile. I was thrilled with how the V-neck turned out (my first!)

My second attempt was View B. I was very careful with the bodice panel and am very pleased with the result. Yes, it was tricky, but careful measuring and marking of seam allowance made the difference.
I was very pleased with the end result and wore it last night to dinner.
I am looking forward to making a few more of these in different fabrics, as they are very easy to wear and enjoyable to make.

Charlie Caftan, wonderful pattern!

Well detailed, a pleasure to sew! I was very happy with the way it came together, especially tricky bits like the neckline were perfect.

Nice lines but...

I enjoyed making this pattern up in a muslin until I got to the “Tricky part” which was tricky as the pattern said. I could not follow the steps and ended up stitching the bodice to the outside. The picture on page 13 bottom was confusing. Despite this, I think I will make the other View without the gathers and see how it turns out. Thank you.

Sewed the short version with pockets without any modifications for a beach coverup - fits perfectly!
