Yes — a pattern alteration guide is included with every purchase to help you personalise the fit.

Printing & assembly
Three simple rules for a perfect print every time:
01
Print at 100% / actual size — never scale to fit.
02
Disable “fit to page” in your printer settings.
03
Check the test square before cutting and assembling.
| ▣ | How do I assemble the sheets? |
Cut or fold along the dotted lines as indicated, then join the sheets following the assembly guide for your chosen format (A4, US Letter, A3).· · ·
