As it turned out in the course of my communication with visitors to my site and members of my groups, everyone has difficulty finding children's patterns, which can be downloaded completely free of charge, without registration and without a subscription.

Many people have questions about how download paid patterns and whether we send them by e-mail.

I will answer that both options are possible and it depends on the payment method you choose.

If you paid for the pattern via SMS, LiqPay or Robokassa, after payment you are immediately automatically provided with a link to the pattern, where you can download it three times. The link is valid for 5 days.

Of course, it is better not to postpone, because if you lose this link, you will need to write to the Admin (responding to the letter that came to your mail after placing the order) and he will give you a pattern

Paying Yandex with money is by far the simplest and most convenient, it does not require registration in the Yandex money system and prior replenishment of the wallet.

Today, Yandex money allows both payment with MasterCard, Maestro, Visa cards, and transfer from wallet to wallet.

In fact, both options are as simple as the usual “transfer to card” for us.

We begin the checkout by pressing the "Buy" button, then select the "Continue" button - if we want to add some more pattern or "Basket" - if we have finished choosing.

Don't be afraid to lose sight of your virtual shopping cart - it's always in the top right corner of the screen.

The contents of the basket can be easily edited - we delete the extra product by clicking on the blue "basket".

Remember, the number of electronic patterns should always be "1".

After checking the basket, click the red button "Checkout".

How to buy patterns using PayPal?

PayPal is an international payment system that allows you to pay for purchases from anywhere in the world.

PayPal is very simple for the buyer, but payment through this system has a number of features due to the restrictions imposed on sellers.

This payment option will be convenient, first of all, for buyers from Europe and the USA, where our Likpay does not work and who are not familiar with WebMoney.

If you are used to paying via PayPal or by card, then this payment method will suit you.

The instruction is very detailed, but for many it will be enough to skim through the screenshots ...

To determine the size, divide your bust measurement in half (read the article "Removal of measures" and watch the video at the end of this article).

In other words, your size is equal to your Cg.

See the table of standard ladies', men's or children's measurements corresponding to specific sizes (Women's sizes 42 - 50, Women's sizes 52 - 60, Women's sizes 62 - 72, Men's sizes).

When choosing the size of the pattern, you need to take into account not only the correspondence of your sizes with those used in the construction of the drawing, but also free-fit allowancesembedded in this pattern drawing.

If everything is simple with sizes - you can compare your measurements with values ​​from tables , according to which the patterns were made, it is very easy to get confused with the additions ...

A good question, given that the prices for patterns in the store of Vera Olkhovskaya's website start at 75 cents, which is cheaper thanm on other sites ...

But it's not even about the price! When buying a pattern that the seller positions as "cheap", you buy a pattern of only ONE size. Who can guarantee that this is exactly your size? ..

Here you have taken measurements... those same 20 measurements that make the drawing individual...

Let's say you have enough experience to take ALL of these measurements correctly and let's say these measurements match those taken by the pattern designer. But what increases he put into this single size is an equally important question.

Buying a pattern Vera Olkhovskaya, you buy a set of patterns in several sizes at once, and often several models, and you can choose the size you need after the purchase.

You can see how these clothing patterns look in the pictures (below) and in a short video

Now let me give you a simple example...
