I am so impressed with the patterns that you have in the collection. I would like to download all of them. I suggest them and this site regularly to my costuming class. Your site is a very valuable resource for everyone.
Ahh, thank you so much – that’s so nice to hear! 🙂
It really is so wonderful! I love to sew but can’t really afford patterns! I’m always able to either find exactly what I need here; or able to customize your patterns to be what I need! They’re so easy to read and understand and they have helped me learn and grow so much.
Hi Cayli! We’re so happy you enjoy our patterns! Thank you for the kind words. 🙂
Beautiful selection!
Splendid ❤️
I love this so much! So beautiful! Thank you!
I love many of your patterns. Can they be sent to a copy shop or can they only be printed at home?
Thank you! Unfortunately they’re only available in US Letter PDF sizes at the moment though.
I look forward to your patterns and knowledge every week! Oh my gosh, I could download all of the beautiful patterns! <3
I lòok forward to your pattern! I want to get them all they are beautiful
which one is for making the red one? Cuz I kinda fell in love with it ^^
Hi Pamelia! I used the Setaria Dress pattern and mentioned my pattern alterations above. 🙂
Hello, this has darts in different areas than the original pattern? How did you know where to place them?
Hi, Jenesis! I used the bust and shoulder darts as marked on the pattern and just skipped the waist darts. 🙂
IMPRESSED ME SO MUCH
I’ve noticed there’s a dart in this, can you include the instructions for that. In addition to this, I would appreciate it if you could also include the photos of what the inside looks like
Hello! Take a look at our Tips for Sewing Darts post. 🙂
Would you recommend this pattern for a confident beginner-low intermediate?
Hi Emily, this would be a great pattern to try out, especially if you’re keeping it cropped and unlined! Try sewing a few test lapels first though, before getting started on your fashion fabric. It might take some time before you get the hang of it, but it’ll be worth it!
