One of the very best coat designs. Wear with just about everything. Making this up is a great way to learn the principle of sewing a roll collar.
545 Semi-Fitted Shirt with Frills
See the Sewing Pattern
This pattern is perfect for day or evening wear. Wear it with a tailored suit or beneath a smart cardigan. Wondeful with an evening trouser suit or just a velvet skirt.
A great shirt worn with with jeans too.
The man's cut shirt. I have made this dozens of times and never tire of the shape.
NEW! See Sewing Skills - easy Bound Cuff for any Shirt Pattern
This is probably about the simplest form of garment you can imagine for your wardrobe. However it is the most useful and you will never tire of making it.
The Jeans Sewing Pattern is easier to sew than you think. It is probably takes less time to sew a pair than it does to watch my video! I go into very great detail.
M983 Men's Jeans
See the Sewing Pattern
By popular demand from my male subscribers, here is a jeans sewing pattern just for them. Yes, there are a surprising number of men making their own clothes.
Ladies you can make these jeans for the men in your life too.
A classic T-shirt shape.
A classic Pencil Skirt Sewing Pattern is a must sew for anyone wanting a versatile, wearable wardrobe that is equipped for every occasion.

Vest for every day
Just a shift. Shown here in navy linen with white saddle stitching.
The very useful Raglan Sleeve Sweatshirt Sewing Pattern. You can't have too many in your wardrobe. Of course it goes really well with the jeans.
A great shape for an elegant jersey dress. For day or evening. Plenty of movement
Trousers for smarter occasions perhaps. Front pleats and slant pockets. An invisible zip in the back gives you a faultless silhouette. A silk shirt bloused will take you to any occasion.
A classic jersey T-shirt shape. So many uses. Wear with jeans, the pencil skirt, under the shift and the pinafore dress, under the waistcoat and tucked into the front pleated trousers.
Just a simple t-shirt shape. Shown here cut with more of a boat-neck. Bound at the neckline to match the contrast dot patterned sleeves.
Jersey shift with a stand collar. Very cool, sporty but elegant.
This is a very popular download. The Ra Ra shape is never out of fashion it appears. It is great for summer on the beach, cute for your exercise class and generally easy dressing for everyday
This soft tailored jacket is the easiest of jackets to sew. Collarless and with easy in-seam pockets. A little bit of saddle stitching gives it a certain sophistication.
Another coat. This one is quite different though. Roomy but elegant, this smock type coat will suit any figure type. No fitting required! Wear it belted or flowing.
Vest for the sporty.
Very easy polo neck dress with a high neck. Nicely shaped for easy dressing. This pattern comes in just small/medium/large.
Leggings for everyday dressing have been around for a few years now. These are so easy to make. Great too of course for your exercise classes.
Another very popular pattern. Quite a nostalgic shape reminding me of long summers and school holidays!
Of course, a really practical and comfortable solution for exercise. So much nicer than those standard black leggings and tops people seem to wear at the gym. This pattern is very popular for wearing to ballet class. Also great under a cotton shift.
Making up the pinafore dress is a sewing lesson in just about everything apart from sewing sleeves. Learn about darts, zips, patch pockets, embroidery, topstitching. See my very first tutorial Make a Dress and then again, watch the Add a Lining version.
A smart little waistcoat to wear with anything.
A very boxy, very loose fitting jersey top. You can wear this over other tops.
Just plain cut trousers. No waistband or fly zip to worry about. Use petersham tape at the waist and an easy invisible zip at the side or back seam. Add pockets if you like.
A pattern combination to get you started on combining patterns and shapes to be your own designer. Here I have combined a gathered skirt, bold breast pocket and high stand collar with the jersey shift shape, pattern 722.
Try it with lurex jersey and lace skirt for evenings.
An example of a basic block. Minimum ease. Use this to create endless variations
