Over the last few months I’ve had several readers write and ask about how I design and produce my sewing patterns. I thought it might be interesting to see how a pattern is developed right from the early stages of first idea through to pattern development, testing and the production of the samples. So here goes – from conception to birth of a sewing pattern.
Stage 1 – inspiration and conception
How does a pattern design start? For me, it often comes from considering what I personally want to wear or make. A LOT of time and materials go into developing a pattern and if it wasn’t something I was personally interested in, I would quickly lose interest.
