Sewing Level
The Emma Dress is an advanced beginner to intermediate level sewing pattern. We recommend you have experience of inserting an invisible zip, but otherwise the construction is not too tricky.
Fancy some extra help?
The Emma Dress pattern, along with the Alice Top, is also available as part of our Intro to Sewing with Knit Fabrics online class on Stitch School, which comes with both video tutorials as well as written instructions.
Fabric Suggestions
For Emma we recommend medium weight knit fabrics, such as ponte di Roma, scuba and heavier jerseys. To find the perfect fabric, have a look at our specially curated suggestions.
Fabric Requirements
The Emma Dress sewing pattern is sized between UK sizes 8-20. See the chart for details on fabric requirements.
Like all our patterns, the sizes are nested to make it easier to grade between the sizes, depending on your measurements.
What will I receive?
The downloadable pattern file contains:
- printable pattern (in both tiled print-at-home and copyshop format)
- fully-illustrated printable instruction booklet
- imperial/metric conversion size chart
The tiled print-at-home PDF sewing pattern is 32 pages long.
If you purchase the PDF Pattern + Copyshop Printing option, you will also receive your pattern printed on A0 paper in the post. Find out more about our PDF Printing Service here.
So what is a PDF pattern?
A PDF pattern is a downloadable pattern that you print yourself at home. Simply download, print, tape together and let the sewing begin! When you print the pattern, print at 100% (you might have to uncheck the scale box). Print page 1 first, the square should measure 10cm x 10cm.

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A DOWNLOADABLE PATTERN WHICH YOU HAVE TO PRINT AT HOME. At the end of the checkout process you will receive an email with the link to your pattern and instructions.
Happy sewing!
