You’re “Free” pattern will not download. I have tried multiple times and it only takes me to the patterns that are not free.
Hi Jennifer 🙂 You can use online versions of the patterns for free on our website and mobile app. PDF version itself is not free. Because it takes a lot of time to prepare the patterns. So, in spite of this fact all people who can’t pay for PDF patterns can view them on the website and make wonderful toys. We don’t hide the instructions. Hope for your understanding 🙂
trop mimis, merci pour ce partage
