Introducing: Pillowcase Patterns Co!

I am so excited to finally be able to make this announcement! When you've been sewing for as long as I have, sometimes you have the creative itch to do something more. To share your ideas with the world. So it is with great excitement that I can finally share this super secret new project with you. I will be selling my patterns! I introduce to you the Pillowcase Patterns Co.



Pillowcase Patterns harken back to a simpler time. They are designed to help women craft their own bespoke clothes with beginner-friendly patterns. All you need is a pillowcase from your favorite vintage store, a sewing machine, and my patterns to get started. Sew beautiful custom dresses in an afternoon, make envy-worthy tops, and start crafting your own wardrobe.

View A of my first pattern is for a sun dress with ties. It looks super cute with a matching ribbon at the hem! View B is for a top-length version, and pairs well with your favorite jeans or a skirt!



The patterns will be available soon from Etsy for just $24, and include detailed instructions with full color photographs, beautiful packaging, and all the information you need to get started. There will also be a big blog tour so get ready!




Haha, OK if you've read this far I should probably tell you... APRIL FOOLS! I have no intention of foisting on you a hipster, beginner-friendly pattern company. I'm going to school for public policy not pattern drafting, after all!

The truth is, you all inspire me every day with beautiful, shapely, interesting designs. Thank you for being such an inspiring community full of talent and creativity! I have found so many unique, interesting patterns out there throughout the years, and even more amazing people sewing them up. You all rock!

Happy April Fools Day!

  1. Ha! I kinda wish you'd left it up there without a disclaimer for a few hours to see what the comments would have been: Not all women can fit into a pillowcase, $24 for a beginner pattern, isn't there a tutorial for this already?

  2. I dunno, I think you might have the knack for marketing a hipster pattern company :) seriously - there are patterns just about like that. where I always wonder who pays for them. Thanks for the laugh.

  3. Haha! Whew! With those lovely pattern illustrations and the dreamy filter on your photo collage, you really had me going. I'm so relieved. That artsy snapshot of your tape measure and the suggestion that everyone has a favorite vintage store overflowing with lovely pillowcases was starting to make my stomach churn.

  4. Okay, this is the third joke post in a row I've read this morning, but I still believed it at first! I was surprised--it didn't seem like you, what with your more sophisticated style and all the work you're doing for your career. I was all set to leave a vaguely supportive good luck comment, though. But then I read $24. Cannot support that and couldn't believe for a second you would do such a thing! Happy april fools!
