Hello everyone! We’ve updated our pattern review system this week to make it much easier to use. You can now edit old reviews, add multiple images and clickable links. All of the pattern reviews are now displayed altogether right under the pattern, so you can see at one glance what the pattern looks like on other sewists.
We love to see what your making so if you have a few spare minutes this weekend why not leave a review of your latest make! Sewing pattern reviews are a great help to get other makers get their sew on and to share your creative journey.
Don’t forget to check out the blog if you’re looking for top indie sewing patterns style inspiration!
