Printed & Inspired : Summer Is Here!

Printed & Inspired : Summer Is Here!

Summer has finally arrived and warm weather sewing patterns are starting to appear from our wide format printer.  Summer dresses and tunics for staying cool and patterns for upcoming virtual classes with us are proving to be popular however surprisingly pants are the clear winner recently.  From flowing wide legs to structured barrel jeans everyone appears to be making pants right now. 

We love discovering new indie pattern designers along with you through our A0 PDF Printing Services.  Below are a few of the A0 PDF patterns we printed since the beginning of May, maybe they’ll inspire your next make too!

All of these patterns came through our A0 PDF pattern printing service - a wonderful way to explore new designers and level up your handmade wardrobe. If you haven’t tried it yet, it’s simple to upload your files and we’ll print, fold, and ship them right to you or choose local pick up at our Parkdale Pick up Point or here in Sprucedale.
