Real Reviews from Our Customers
“I started using (Closet) Core patterns years ago, and joined CREW a few years ago without looking back or ever questioning my decision. The patterns alone are worth the cost of membership. I'm an intermediate sewist and always learn new techniques or 'cleaner' techniques when using these patterns... The directions are very clearly written, and again, I love the thought behind the details in patterns."
”Barbara H.Crew Member
“I'm a fairly new sewer and have only ever used the Big 4 sewing patterns and I was BLOWN away by how good the instructions were on this pattern... the step-by-step process was so helpful, and at no point did I feel lost.
”Robyn D.Kalle Shirtdress
“I have been sewing clothes for myself since I was a young teenager and I'm now 68, so I have used many different types and brands of patterns and I can say the Mitchell trouser pattern is the very best pattern I have ever used... I will definitely be choosing Closet Core patterns in the future and recommending them to my sewist friends."
”Jane B.Mitchell Trousers
“This is my 2nd Closet Core make, and once again I'm impressed with how well drafted the pattern is, how clear the instructions are, and that there's no skimping on finishing detail.
”Janice P.Sienna Maker Jacket
“The instructions are very good and the whole pattern is very complete, well-made and thorough. I definitely recommend this for people who want to make their own jeans, be it their first or a subsequent pair.
”Barbara W.GINGER JEANS
“This is my first Closet Core pattern and I am very pleased with the instructions, construction method, and final product! ... I can't wait to sew up a pair of pants (or several) now that I'm deeply in love with this pattern.
”Ellie C.Pietra Pants
“The pattern was straight forward to sew, the instructions were clear... As usual, a very good quality sewing pattern 😀
”Thomas B.Kelly Anorak
FAQ
Why do I see some of the patterns listed twice, once from Closet Core or Deer & Doe and once from Crew?
Crew is our monthly membership. The Crew version is bundled into membership along with our full back catalogue; the standalone listing is the same pattern available à la carte at a higher one-off price. If you're buying more than one or two, membership is usually the better deal.
What's the best sewing pattern for beginners?
Start with something forgiving on fit and finish - a simple top, an elastic-waist pant, or a loose dress. Our Easy + Beginner Friendly collection is built around exactly that.
How do I choose the right sewing pattern for my body?
Check the finished garment measurements, not just the size label - every brand sizes differently. All our patterns include full size charts so you're choosing based on your actual measurements. You can also view the Closet Core size charts and Deer&Doe size charts.
What's the difference between a PDF and a printed sewing pattern?
A PDF is a digital file you print and assemble at home for instant access, or send to the copyshop. A printed pattern arrives ready to trace or cut, no assembly required. We offer print patterns for select designs; use or filter system to view what we have in stock as a print pattern if that's your preference.
Do you offer plus size sewing patterns?
Yes. Our Plus Size collection covers dresses, tops, pants, and outerwear drafted for an extended size range. We also offer alpha sized patterns up to 6X for simpler designs.
I recently made the Adriana, I love this 2 piece set. Closet Cores instructions are easy to follow, I always look forward to a CC make. I keep coming back to their patterns because they are on trend and don't feel intimidating even for beginners.
I've just finished the Frank jeans (mid rise, straight leg) and I'm thrilled with the result. I really enjoyed the class and learnt a lot from it. It was very easy to pick up where I'd left off (jeans made over a month or so) and the fact that you left in little mistakes and showed how to fix them rather than pretend they'd never happened was very comforting!! They aren't perfect but are better than if I'd done it on my own. Will definitely follow along for the next pair I make. Thanks!

I got a bit confused initially by the borderless pattern. But I have almost finished the shorts which I intend to use as pyjamas on a forthcoming trip to Madrid. I am going to hem the bottom edge rather than topstitching. I made the pockets out of contrasting fabric (as I don't have much of the intended fabric) and that might have been a mistake as I didn't realise how much would be 'on show' (assuming I have got things right). But I think it will look OK once the waistband is done.
Je suis ravie de ma commande ! 😊 Je suis actuellement en train de réaliser la robe Myosotis et je suis déjà ravie du résultat. Je ne manquerai pas de vous mentionner dans mes publications sur les réseaux sociaux une fois celle-ci terminée. 🥰
