An avid maker myself, The Avid Seamstress was created from a deep love of sewing and the absolute joy that comes from making amazing garments.

When creating The Avid Seamstress, one of my biggest priorities was to create sewing patterns with straightforward and easy to understand instructions. I wanted to avoid those head-scratching moments and feelings of disappointment when something doesn’t quite make sense. Because of this, The Avid Seamstress sewing patterns are always tested by a team of pattern testers to ensure that our instructions are clear and the pattern is ready for release.

You might find that The Avid Seamstress has a different way of doing things from other sewing patterns that you have followed. Through our sewing experiences we've found ways of making things simpler and more enjoyable, whilst also building up your sewing skills. Trust our process, I promise that your garments will look incredible.
