1st Phase sewing patterns are NET patterns - drafted without seam allowance. Also they don't have cutting out layouts or fabric and notions guidance. For experienced sewers these extras aren't necessary anyway! We are used to laying out pattern pieces on the table and deciding how much fabric we need.

After a little while of producing these patterns (many years ago now), I was getting more and more requests for the extra's, especially added seam allowance. I had a rethink about beginner sewers and decided commercial standard sewing patterns was the way forward.

Over the years I have been intending to update these earlier patterns but that would take time. I would much rather work on new patterns. Neither do I want to abandon these great designs. So they are now on offer to non members at the bargain price of £2. Of course they are still part of my collection for my membership.

Many of these patterns feature Sew Alongs and eBooks so they represent amazing value.
