Selfmade® paves the way for the future of sewing patterns
At Selfmade®, we've made the sewing process easier and more fun for everyone. Our new sewing patterns are easy to use and have clear illustrations, icons, markings, and seam allowances.The 5 advantages of Selfmade® sewing patterns:
- User-friendly
easy-to-follow instructions and design make it easy for sewing enthusiasts of all levels. - High quality
Good design ensures a beautiful and durable end-product that you'll love year after year. - Time-saving
Eliminate a lot of preparation time with pre-cut pattern parts - Minimises errors
Because you don't have to draw the pattern yourself, you reduce the chance of mistakes. In addition, you can sew the pattern pieces together to assess the fit. - Reusable
The durable pattern interfacing can be used again and again for new sewing projects.
Why our sewing patterns save you time
We believe your time should be spent on creativity and creation - not preparation. That's why our sewing patterns come pre-cut to your size and on durable, ready-to-use pattern interfacing.
Forget the hassle of tracing patterns onto pattern paper, following a jumble of dotted lines of different thicknesses and cutting out the traced pattern pieces.
That can take anywhere from an hour to several hours, depending on the complexity of the pattern and your skill level! Simply pull off the pattern pieces from the template and apply them to your chosen fabric. And you're already up and running!
In addition to eliminating the hassle of tracing onto pattern paper and cutting it out, it also minimises the risk of errors that can occur during manual tracing and cutting, leading to time-consuming corrections or even having to start from scratch.
The pattern pieces also have clear markings for seam allowances, notches, darts, etc. to help you through your sewing project.
Try it, before you sew
Because the pattern pieces are already cut to size, you can string them together or attach them to your dress form. With this quick 'trial' model, you can quickly see if you need to adjust the pattern to fit. This way you don't risk cutting your chosen fabric to the wrong size.
Use your sewing pattern again and again
Sew for yourself, your friends or family - again and again. That's because our sewing patterns are designed in high-quality non-woven interfacing, so you can use them for years.
Cutting-edge technology
It takes a lot to create the perfect sewing pattern. At Selfmade, we've elevated this process with a state-of-the-art machine that combines laser cutting and printing technologies.
