About Our Patterns

Our patterns are printed on high quality paper rather than tissue paper, making them much more re-usable and less likely to tear. Patterns are packaged in a sturdy re-usable string and washer envelope and come with a clearly written and illustrated instruction booklet, along with a QR code that will take you directly to the corresponding YouTube video tutorial.

Our tutorial videos all features chapter marks, allowing you to jump directly to specific construction steps without needing to search through the video manually. They also contain useful hints and tips from the Sussex Seamstress herself. Tutorials are produced with the maker in mind, and are to-the-point and informative.

Format
