1. Download & Open
After purchase, download your files and open them using a PDF reader (we recommend Adobe Acrobat Reader). Avoid printing directly from a web browser to ensure accuracy.
2. Choose Your Format
- Home Printing: Use the Letter/A4 file. Set your printer to 100% Scale or "Actual Size." Always print the first page first and measure the test square to verify sizing.
- Large Format: Use the A0 file to have the pattern printed at a local copy shop on a single large sheet—no taping required!
- Projecting: Use the Projector file if you prefer to beam the pattern pieces directly onto your fabric for a paperless experience.
3. Assemble (Home Printing Only)
Layout the pages according to the grid guide, overlap the edges as indicated, and secure them with tape or glue to create your full-sized pattern sheet.
4. Cut Your Size
Locate your size using our measurement chart, cut out your paper pieces (or cut directly if using a projector), and you're ready to sew!
Embrace effortless style with the Chelsea Casual Bolero, a versatile knit fabric sewing pattern designed for comfort and endless customization. This dolman-style bolero features a relaxed fit, perfect for layering over everything from casual tees to elegant dresses.

A Perfect Fit for You
This pattern is designed for our Curvy Fit Size Chart, drafted for a height of 5'5"/165.10 cm. We've also included simple instructions to help you adjust the pattern for different heights, ensuring a perfect fit.
Fabric Recommendation:
This top is designed for knit fabrics with at least 20% 4-way stretch. Think soft, drapey fabrics with good recovery, like:
- Double brushed poly
- Rayon spandex
- Cotton blends
- Poly jerseys
- Polyester spandex blends
- Viscose tricot
- Rib knit
For best results, avoid heavy or stiff fabrics. We recommend a medium weight (180-220 GSM) for a beautiful drape and comfortable fit.
