These dozen patterns are my very favorites. They’ll likely stick around for a while (at least until something new comes along and claims one of their spots)!

These patterns share a common theme or technique (in this case, turned hems) and will be available for just a few months. Rampant & Notable Nonsense patreon folks get these patterns free!

Tie one on

So when last we left the skirt, we had a waistband and we had the body of the skirt, and the goal was to join them together. The way I do that is by first [...]

Pocketses

Sunday was for sewing, and I plowed through this in record time. I put these together with something sort of half way between a french seam and a felled seam. Do not yell at me, [...]

Looking for an earlier pattern?

I have a lot of patterns! But I also tend to get overwhelmed if I have to deal with them all at once. So I’ve picked 12 of my favorites (the Core Collection) that will usually be available. And every few months, I decide on a theme or a technique and make a handful of related patterns (the Rotating Collection) available for a little while (then they go away again). The other patterns are retired and are not generally available. However, because I know some folks will want them, I make many the retired patterns available for a few weeks every November. If you want me to tell you when they’re back, subscribe to the mailing list or patreon, and I’ll be sure to let you know!
