Free Printable French Curve Ruler

When I first started sewing, I had no idea what a French Curve ruler was, let alone how much easier it would make pattern drafting and adjustments. Once I finally tried one, I realised how valuable it is for smoothing out necklines, armholes, and hems. It’s a simple tool that can make your sewing look much more polished.

But here’s the thing: French Curve rulers can often cost $50+ in stores, which feels like a big investment if you’re just starting out. That’s why I created this Printable French Curve Ruler — a free PDF you can download, print, and start experimenting with right away.

Here’s how it works:

1. Download the PDF and print it at 100% scale.

2. Cut out the ruler along the dotted line.

3. Use it to draft patterns, smooth out curves, or practice altering your garments.

Sewing doesn’t need to be expensive to be creative. This printable ruler is a great way to test new techniques and see if it’s something you’d like to invest in down the track.

Happy sewing, friend, I hope this little tool inspires you to try something new with your projects!
