Choose a page size for your PDF pattern. The pattern pieces will be divided into multiple sections that fit the selected page size. Each section will include clearly marked joining tabs, allowing you to align and assemble the pattern pieces accurately after printing. This ensures that even large patterns can be printed on standard home printers.

Seam finish type French allows for a finished product with no exposed raw edges. Fabrics are firstly sewn wrong sides together, then again right sides together to enclose the raw edges.

When selecting the option "French", the provided seam allowance values will be doubled, and a "turn of cloth allowance" will be added where relevant.

The collar channel height is the space at the top of a drawstring bag where the cord is threaded. Choose a height that comfortably fits your selected cord.

Entering 0 will auto-calculate the value based on the Total Width and Total Depth provided. This will ensure that when the bag is cinched closed, there are no gaps, and the Body and Collar will meet at the requested height.

Seam allowance is the extra fabric added around the edges of pattern pieces to allow for stitching. Standard seam allowances typically range from 0.6 cm (1/4 inch) to 1.5 cm (5/8 inch), depending on the project.
