We no longer offer wholesale accounts sorry.
All of our patterns are available in sizes 1 - 8 (NZ & UK sizes 6 - 20) but we are working on expanding our size range currently.
As you may know, we updated our Nova Coat (then Sapporo Coat) in December 2019 due to a small error.
The easiest way to tell if you have the updated version or not is, the original pattern has a tan coloured coat on the front, and the updated pattern has a charcoal coloured coat on the front.
If you originally purchased a PDF, your pattern will have automatically updated. All you need to do is download the pattern again, and you'll have the updated version.
The only update made to this pattern since, is a name change in March 2021. 'The Sapporo Coat' is now called 'The Nova Coat'.
Because this name change does not affect the construction of the garment, this does not mean you're eligible for a free upgrade.
If you purchased your pattern BEFORE December 2019, and have had problems making your original Nova Coat (then called the Sapporo Coat) due to our now fixed error, please find a free download of the corrected pieces and updated instructions here.
Alternatively, if you don’t have access to printing options, we can send you a printed fix sheet along with PDF instructions. You'll just need to contact us with proof of purchase for the pattern here: info@papercutpatterns.com
If you would prefer the full PDF version of the NEW 2.0 pattern, with added variations and our expanded size range, we would be more than happy to upgrade you. Please contact us with proof of purchase for your pattern at the email above.
Everything that happens at Papercut, happens right here in our New Zealand based studio. From design, sampling, shooting, production, manufacturing and dispatch. Keeping things on home soil is really important to us.
There is no need to select a size as all of our patterns are multi-sized from size 1 - 8, which is the equivalent of UK/NZ size 6 - 20. Please take your measurements and refer to our Size Chart before you cut out your pattern.
No you can't. Papercut Patterns are for personal home use ONLY and can not be commercially produced.
Pattern Updates:
Growth is important. Over time, we may update our patterns and products to improve usability and maintain branding consistency.
If you have purchased a pattern that has since been updated (not due to error), replacements will not be issued.
Much like if your favourite peanut butter brand adjusted their recipe, it doesn’t mean you’re eligible for a free jar.
Updates may include but are not limited to additional sizes, tweaks and overall improvements to increase the product value. This goes for all PDF, printed and physical products.
Errata:
The quality and accuracy of our patterns means everything to us. Unfortunately, humans sometimes make mistakes. It doesn't happen often, but occasionally a pattern may need tweaking.
If you do find a mistake on your pattern, please check here for the latest update. If you don't find what you're after, please let us know by emailing our team here - info@papercutpatterns.com
Thank you for your understanding!

Follow the ‘Printing Instructions’ to find out how to print your PDF pattern.
Open the pattern with a PDF viewer. We recommend using Adobe Reader which you can download here: https://get.adobe.com/reader/ at no charge.
Please note: Our files are password protected for copyright reasons so you will not be able to open them with editing software.
Before you print, make sure page scaling is turned OFF. The pattern needs to be printed at 100% or it will be not be correct.
Print your test square first, you will find it on page 5, and measure it to check it that it has been printed to scale. When it measures correctly, print your required pattern pages.
All of our PDF patterns are password protected for copyright reasons. You won’t be able to open our files with any editing softwares like Photoshop or Illustrator. You will need to print your files from a PDF reader like Adobe Reader, Acrobat or Preview (Mac).
If the copy shop you are using has some kind of online upload service, there’s a chance you won’t be able to upload our files. You may need to ask if you can send them the file via a cloud service like Dropbox or WeTransfer. You don’t have to have an account with WeTransfer and they’re both free to use.
If you're having trouble with a particular step in your instructions, a sewing technique, or anything else, we have a variety of photographic tutorials available that may answer your questions. You can find these under the 'Learn' tab in the menu.
If you're still unsure, you can get in touch with our wonderful team by emailing help@papercutpatterns.com
