I think I mentioned in the last post that our family has been running a pattern printing service. We run Pattern Printing Co. Since it’s pretty much just me and my husband, if you message through there it will be either of us <3. Usually I just focus on Wearing History and the back-end operations (boring things like paying bills and doing all that stuff small businesses do), but the last few weeks I’ve been doing printing and such, too.
In any case, I thought it might be fun to mention a few patterns I’ve printed for folks this week that I think look really interesting, from a pattern making or sewing perspective.
Most of them are modern, but we occasionally get some vintage and costume patterns ordered, too!
I have zero affiliation with any of these patternmakers or companies, and all images are from their websites.
Collage Gathered Top from Matchy Matchy Sewing Club
I think this is so fun. It reminds me a lot of 1970s blouses, and I bet it would be fun to mix smaller lightweight florals in a patchwork design.
Magic Pants pattern by Ann Tilley Handmade
These are such a fun take on the drop-front pants of times gone by. The little tabs at the sides fasten over a hidden front. Kind of like my Chic Ahoy, but a modern version. Love it.
The Dungiven Dress by Sew Liberated
I love that this is sort of a mash-up of 1940s zip up housedresses and 1970s dresses, but with a modern feel. Plus, the patterns always look extremely well drafted. I want to eventually buy a copy of this and make it up for myself.
I can’t post a picture of this one, but the Fly Away Crossbody Bag by Madison Moore. It’s a crossbody bag in the shapes of different birds (including chickens) and is both hilarious and adorable. It would be a fun thing to make as gifts.
Kimberly’s Kitchen Apron by WickedStepmothers on Etsy. Not only is it adorable looking, but it’s got GIANT POCKETS. This is an old-school hand-drawn historical pattern (which doesn’t matter to me at all, since it was the norm for basically forever), and is multi-sized. There’s an 1890s pattern in their shop that I’m really interested in trying, eventually. This one comes in longer page sizes, so make sure you order it by the actual dimensions instead of A0 format if you have someone (like us!) print it.
Ok, I guess that’s about all for now! All those images are from the original makers, and aren’t mine. I’m just posting here to share some pattern love.
If you like posts like this, let me know, and I’ll try to do more as I see more patterns I think I’d like to sew for myself. There’s a lot of neat stuff out there!
And if you’re after printing for digital A0 patterns (not letter-sized), my other site is Pattern Printing Co. But this post is just my (Lauren’s) opinion on cool stuff, and not affiliated with the pattern makers or the pattern printing, other than me seeing cool things and sharing the makers.
xoxo
