This PDF gives you the A4 and A1(copy shop) versions. Choose the variant "with printing" if you'd like the pattern piece page printed on our large scale printer. We only print the page with pattern pieces on it, not the instructions or the tiled pattern (both of which are compatible with US printer paper).

When inserting the rivets we recommend using a very solid surface like a cement floor so there is no movement. You will just need a hammer to set the rivets, but you will need something to make a hole in your leather, we recommend a revolving hole punch.
