By Elaine- Lainee Makes Hello, It’s Elaine from LaineeMakes here, delighted to be doing a guest post for Seen and Sewn. I feel like I'm always hearing people lamenting prepping PDF patterns as something that makes them want to gouge their own eyes with their paper scissors. While it has to be said it is [...]
By Kate from Sewing from Scratch Me Made May taught me quite a few things, one of them being that there are a few pieces in my wardrobe that just don’t fit in. They either don’t fit right, aren’t comfortable or the style just isn’t me. This romper, while I still LOVED it, just wasn’t [...]
Supplies Needed: 1 yard woven fabricTape MeasureThreadFrench Curve or French Curve Ruler Template Directions Print off the French Curve Ruler found here if you dont have one. You will download it just like any other pdf pattern. You can paste it to poster board if you would like it to be more sturdy or you [...]
Wow! I can't belive MeMade May is already almost over! I feel like these days in quarantine or safer- at- home just go by so fast. Am I the only one? I am excited for warm weather and to actually be able to dress cute and go out of the house, even if it is [...]

Third times the charm right? 😜 Each time I start a new pattern it's gotten much easier. However, I still made a ton of mistakes. It's all part of the process, I guess. Yesterday I launched the Aspen Tank pattern! I named it after my sister-in-law, Aspen. I think this top will look so adorable [...]
Its that time again for a call for Pattern Testers! The Aspen Tank is a flowy sleeveless tank pattern with the option to add a fun gathered cap sleeve. Overall this is an easy pattern. Skills needed for this pattern include gathering and applying bias tape. This pattern is designed for wovens, so any lightweight [...]
If you are anything like me, you like easy and fast! Obviously, I can make my own patterns from scratch but I just have a million other things I want to do and not enough time (I honestly think we should have 36 hour days: I'd be so much more productive!). Using pattern pieces you [...]
Woohoo! I've now released my second pdf pattern, the Cozy Cardigan, into the sewing universe! I have so many feels about this experience and I'm excited to share my latest pattern with you guys! I started Seen and Sewn Patterns in December of 2015. I went in thinking, I know all this stuff, I can [...]
