Very Important Patterns VIP


After a few years sewing I have amassed gigabytes of PDF patterns but there is nothing quite like owning the professionally printed and packaged patterns. So far I have a collection of two packed boxes of official patterns, some of them acquired from pattern swaps or given free by amazing people in the many sewing groups I'm a member of on Facebook.

One of my all time favorite pattern makers is Tilly and the Buttons. I bought one of her books when I first began sewing, I loved it! The book has full size patterns printed in a pocket at the back of the book. These were some of my first handmade clothes, the book is full of different patterns with colourful photographic step by step guides.

I have a pattern for some lovely shorts from Deer & Doe's Botany Collection called Chataigne (French for Chestnut) #D0009. I love the beautiful black and gold expandable packet this pattern comes in, which makes it easy to store and pretty to look at. The pattern is of good quality and it comes with well documented instructions.


I have a wrap dress pattern from Named Patterns, it comes in a white card wraparound box with minimalist packaging design, handy for storage. The dress is a classic, the pattern is good quality and the packaging quite stylish. So this will join my VIP (Very Important Pattern) collection.
