Frequently asked questions
DIBY? Copper Creek? What's what?
Our business began as DIBY Club in 2016 and was purchased by a new owner that started a transition to a new brand, Copper Creek Patterns. Upon reacquiring the business in 2025, we made the decision to stay with the original DIBY Club brand since most of the patterns and material were still using it. We appreciate your patience with this!
What is included with my pattern purchase?
All patterns include a materials list with size charts, fabric recommendations, fabric yardage required, pattern options, and full-color photo tutorial with step-by-step instructions. Patterns also include:
- Print-at-home PDF pattern files in both women's misses and plus sizes (sizes 00-36) for women's patterns, 18m-12 for kids sizes, and standard and tall heights for men's patterns sizes 32-48.
- US Letter, A4, and A0 Copy Shop formats
- No trim pages
- Size layers so you can print only the sizes you need
- Complete sewing instruction ebook with our Perfect Fit custom fit adjustment tutorials
What is the difference between US Letter, A4, and A0/Copyshop formats?
We offer three standard formats for our patterns: A0, A4, and US Letter.A0 is ideal for professional printing on a large sheet, perfect for avoiding assembly. A4 is the standard for home printing outside the US and requires piecing together after printing. US Letter serves North American printers and also needs assembly.
What is your return and exchange policy?
Due to the nature of digital purchases we do not offer refunds on PDF pattern purchases. All sales are final.

How do I print my digital pattern?
