We are so proud to announce the official launch of our new collection! It includes eight new patterns (available in both paper and PDF) as well as three PDF-only patterns (styles that would not fit on our regular pattern sheets).
Color printing
Because we received so much positive feedback about colour-coded pattern lines, we decided to also print these new patterns in color.

Real Paper
We still use the same heavy white paper. We promise we will never, EVER switch to tissue paper!

Jalie 3351 Swim Shorts
paper pattern / digital pattern (PDF)
We had a special request from women who wanted a swim bottom option with more coverage, but that would not float like a swim skirt does. These shorts are great for any activity where you might get wet (attraction park, splash pad with the kids) but don't want to walk around in a bikini bottom.
