Yes, all pattern peices are printed on a single sheet of paper and the user has to cut them apart before pinning to the fabric. Most new patterns are supplied this way (although a nuisance to cut up, it does mean that whenever you buy a pattern you are guaranteed to have all the pieces that you need).
