NEW! Make Your Own

INTRODUCING A NEW WAY TO SEW
We make it 'sew' easy to make your own clothing keepsakes with a totally new way to sew! What makes them so special?

Our patterns are printed directly to iron-on fabric with sew-by-number instructions right on the pattern! 

  • Iron the pattern pieces onto your clothes
  • Cut on the solid line
  • Sew on the dashed line

Each step is numbered directly on each pattern piece so it's as easy as 1, 2, 3...
