Imperial Measurements
A major change for us this year has been how our community has grown, especially across the pond. It's been such a pinch-me-moment to see how sewists from the other side of the world resonate with our designs and style of teaching.
Being able to connect with a global sewing community has been so rewarding to say the least. The wealth of sewing knowledge that comes from so many experiences becomes a melting pot online and the sky is the limit when it comes to reimaginings of our designs.
We have wanted to make sewing our patterns as straightforward as possible, so we have now added imperial measurements and US sizing to all of our patterns!
Download your updated patterns:
The new version of each pattern will be in accessible from your account automatically. If you purchased as a guest at check out, you will need to make an account using the email address you received your patterns to.
The only file that has changed is the Instructions file so you don't need to re-print any patterns!
As a small independent business based in East London, we never anticipated the demand to convert our designs with imperial measurements and we're so glad to now have this option available for you! Thank you so much for the support and we hope this makes the making process even more enjoyable.
