Welcome to Closet Core Patterns
I’m Heather Lou, founder of Closet Core Patterns. I started sewing because I was in debt up to my eyeballs from shopping, I was bored and unfulfilled at work, and I was desperate for a creative outlet. I had no idea that learning how to sew would completely change the course of my life...
Over the years, we’ve grown from a one-woman show in my Montreal apartment to a thriving small team who are as obsessed with sewing, creating, and learning as I am.
Welcome to our collective obsession; I encourage you to explore our rich pattern catalogue and content library filled with sewing classes, videos and blog tutorials – our mission is to make sewing fun, inspiring, and accessible for everyone who wants to create their dream wardrobe.
We're so happy you're here! The world is a better place every time you sit down to sew.
I have made 3 of the blouses so far in different fabrics and they have all came out great. I found there is a lot of wearing ease built into the design, so I did size down from my usual closet core size of 16, to 14, based on garment measurements. With some careful placement I was able to create 2 of the blouses (with short sleeves) with less than 1.5m of fabric! I am so happy to find a pattern that I can use to get rid of the remnants I have in my stash, that isn't some sort of tank top. As always the instructions are clear and detailed. I will be making the full dress next!
I own and love a lot of Deer and Doe patterns and the Magnolia didn't disappoint. I made view B maxi length in a light silk satin for a wedding. It's was easy to make and easier to fit. The instructions, as always, were clear and well illustrated. I have a few more Magnolia dresses planned in cotton lawn.
It's a perfect pattern for a beginner, and it's free. What more could you wish for?
This was my first time using a pattern to make an item of clothing. It went great! Now for figuring out how to install a zipper!
