How do I access the Bundle/s I've purchased?
At the end of the checkout process, a DOWNLOAD button will show. Click it to download and save all the PDF pattern files to your computer, laptop, cloud storage, or tablet (if you're familiar with saving documents to this type of device).
If you don't see the download button after you check out, you will also receive an email from us from hello@makersbundles.com, with a link to download your patterns. Do this by the deadline for each bundle. Each bundle has a specific date to download the PDFs by. It's stated on the purchase page and we also email you to remind you.
Please get in touch if you have any questions or you have missed the deadline to download. Email helloATmakersbundles.com and let us know the email address you used to place your order.

How long can I access the Bundle I've purchased?
Each bundle has it's own limited release dates. Therefore, access to the bundle content usually ends at the end of month you purchased the bundle. After this time, the bundle will permanently close and you will no longer have access. If you miss this deadline you can email us to assist you.
After you make your purchase, save your downloads to your computer, USB storage, or cloud storage straight away, so that you can always sew from the PDF files after the bundle is no longer available.

What language are the bundle patterns written in?

PDF Sewing Patterns – How to Save, Print, and Store Them
Customers often ask how to effectively save, print, and store their PDF sewing patterns. To help, we’ve compiled some tips and suggestions based on the most frequently asked questions we receive. While we’re here to assist you in accessing your purchased patterns, please note that our expertise is in designing sewing patterns, not troubleshooting individual computer or printer issues.
Saving Your Patterns
When you purchase a bundle, be sure to save the all the files to your personal computer, cloud storage, USB storage or laptop. This ensures you’ll always have access to your patterns.
Opening PDF Documents
The most reliable way to open and view PDF files is by using Adobe Acrobat Reader which is a free program you can download here. Ensure you’ve installed it to avoid any issues with opening your pattern files.
Printing PDF Documents
To print your pattern successfully, follow these steps:
Save Before Printing - Always download and save the PDF file to your device before printing. Printing directly from a preview window may result in incomplete or incorrect prints.
Printer Software & Adobe Reader - Make sure your printer software is up to date and you have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Print Template Pages Only - To save paper and ink, print only the template pages. You can refer to the instruction pages directly on your device.
Printer Settings
- Open the file and select the "Print" option.
- Set your printer to print at 100% (Actual Size) with no scaling or cropping.
- Confirm your paper size (A4 or Letter) and ensure the settings match.
Test Square & Accuracy - Many patterns include a test square on the template pages to verify correct scaling. After printing one page with the test square, measure it with a ruler to ensure accuracy before continuing.
Troubleshooting Prints
- If parts of the file don’t print, check your printer’s ink levels (both black and color).
- For persistent issues, consult your printer manual or seek help from the retailer, a copy shop, or your local library.
Printing Templates at a Copy Shop
If needed, you may print single copies of your purchased patterns at a copy shop or library for personal use.
Storing and Backing Up Your Patterns
Organize your PDF patterns in a dedicated folder on your device. For example, create a folder named “Makers Bundles” with subfolders for categories. These could include:
- Patterns organised by bundle name
- Patterns organised by project type or theme
- Patterns organised by designer
This system ensures your patterns are easy to find and access whenever needed.
