Our digital patterns are designed for fashion professionals, including 3D product creators, designers, sewing contractors, tailors, and experienced sewists. In short, our target users are individuals with advanced knowledge of fashion design, pattern drafting, and sewing technology.

Certainly! However, please note that our digital patterns do not include sewing or printing/taping instructions (for PDF purchases), so experience is recommended.

No, we only sell patterns and do not offer finished sewn products.

After your payment is processed, you will receive an order confirmation email. Within a few hours, you will receive a second email with your pattern files. Please note that our time zone is GMT+1, so there may be a delay in processing orders placed overnight.

It will be sent to your inbox via email.

A pattern preview is free and allows you to view the basic outlines of the pattern pieces. It helps you check if the pattern can be processed for your measurements, ensure it looks appropriate, and estimate the approximate required fabric amount. The preview is provided on a 10x10 cm grid, allowing you to assess the width, length, and other dimensions of pattern pieces. 

You can pay with a Visa or MasterCard debit or credit card.

No, we only offer downloadable patterns in digital formats. Your pattern will be sent to your inbox via email.

Because orders are processed immediately upon receipt, we are unable to cancel or modify them. We kindly ask that you carefully review the information entered in the product order form.

Additionally, please note that while we strive to provide excellent service and comprehensive advice, the final fit of garments depends on the materials chosen and individual sewing skills. This is not a basis for a refund. Once a pattern has been customized to your measurements, cancellations or refunds are not available.

No, if an error occurs in the entered measurements, a reprocessing fee of $2 per pattern will apply. Additionally, if seam allowances were accidentally omitted, a $2 reprocessing fee per pattern will be charged to cover the costs.

Please email us at info@MinervaPatterns.com and we will resend the pattern to the correct address.

Please try resubmitting your payment. If it fails again, email us at info@MinervaPatterns.com for assistance. 

Sometimes emails may end up in the SPAM folder, so please check there first. If you still can't find our email, contact us at info@MinervaPatterns.com

You will receive your pattern file along with a sketch and a technical drawing.

Since digital downloads are intangible products and each order represents a custom pattern drafting service, made-to-measure sewing patterns cannot be returned after purchase. Once your order is processed, the service is considered fulfilled, and all sales are final. We do not offer refunds or returns. However, if you encounter any issues with the digital files you’ve purchased and downloaded, please contact our customer service at info@MinervaPatterns.com, and we will be happy to assist you.

Please use Adobe Reader (available as a free download) and set the print properties to 'Actual size.' The pattern must be printed unscaled to maintain the correct proportions.

Yes, all our PDF patterns include a calibration test square to ensure accurate printing. The calibration test square is on the last page of your PDF file. Print this page first to check the scaling before printing the entire pattern.

To determine the correct fabric length, we recommend using the free ordering option. After entering all your measurements, please select 'Free Pattern (Preview)' under the ordering options. You can then add the product to your cart as usual. Proceed through the checkout process. You will receive an email with the fabric length calculation (e.g., size: 1499 x 858.87 mm) and an overview of the pattern. The free order provides a visual representation of your desired pattern with your body measurements, allowing you to review the pattern construction and see your measurements on a virtual tailor’s dummy. Please note, this is not a printable pattern for sewing.

Our designs always include a fabric recommendation, which should be followed to ensure the correct fit. Garments made from fabrics with more or less elastane than recommended, for instance, may fit quite differently from what you expect.

No, reselling our patterns is strictly prohibited. You’re welcome to use this pattern for personal or commercial purposes—even to set up production and sell finished garments in large quantities. But please keep the pattern itself exclusive to you.
