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.
