FAQ
How do I download my patterns after purchase?
Once your purchase is complete, you'll receive an email confirmation with a download link for your sewing pattern files. Simply click the link to download the files to your device. If you have a Squarespace account, you can also log in and access your downloads under the "My Account" or "Orders" section.

How do I use and assemble my digital sewing pattern?
I have a video a YouTube! Click here.
All the patterns are designed to be printed at home on regular letter size paper. The most important thing is to print the pattern at 100% scale. DO NOT fit to page. After printing, measure the test squares to ensure your pattern has printed at the correct size. The letter sized pages are intended to assembled with tape to make the full pattern.
I want my pattern reformated to print on a different size paper. Can you help?
Probably! Sending me an email at Wes@CarlWesleySewingPatterns.com with your order number and specifications and I’ll see what I can do. Most modifications are quick and easy for me to do!
Where do you recommend purchasing fabric for your patterns?
I have a video you may want to view! Click here. Below are some of my favorite places to buy fabric online. Note: I am not a paid promoter for any of them! I just think they have great fabrics at reasonable prices.
Are the patterns only designed for men?
No! I identify as male and design many of my sewing patterns to create new things for myself. But most of the patterns have a gender-neutral fit. Simply plug in your chest/bust measurement into the size chart.
Can I share or redistribute the patterns?
Please don’t! It takes me many hours to develop patterns and create video tutorials. I feel that I charge very reasonable prices compared to most other independent pattern designers considering that each pattern has a complete video tutorial. If you have a friends who would like to use my patterns, please direct them to the website so they can purchase their own copies.
Can I sell garments made from carl wesley sewing patterns?
Absolutely! I no longer sell finished clothing so I don’t see it as a threat to my business if you sell the garments made with my sewing patterns. I would greatly appreciate if you credited me for the design wherever you are selling! Tagging me on social media is also appreciated.
What skill level are your patterns?
Most of the patterns are intended to be beginner to novice sewing skill level. Occasionally, I may introduce an intermediate or advanced pattern which I will note on the pattern page. Each pattern includes a step-by-step sewing tutorial to visually walk you through the assembly. If you run into trouble, drop a comment on the video, or send me an email at Wes@CarlWesleySewingPatterns.com
Do you offer projector sewing patterns?
Many of the patterns do not have projector files…YET. I’m in the process of creating them all. If you purchased a pattern and would like a projector format, please send me an email with details and your order number and I should be able to get that back to you soon.
Do you offer returns or refunds?
Unfortunately, I cannot offer returns or refunds due to the digital nature of the products. If you are unsure about making a purchase you may want to check out the video tutorial first. If you are unhappy with your pattern for any reason, please email me at cwsewingpatterns@gmail.com so I can try to make it better. I am diligent about quality and testing my patterns, but I can’t get everything perfect all the time.
