Our garment patterns offer timeless, versatile styles with a beautiful balance of fit and function.  Step-by-step instructions are packed with photos, videos, and custom fitting tips so you can enjoy the satisfaction of creating beautiful handmade items.

We offer inclusive sizing, across Baby, Child, Women's/Curved Fit and Men's/Straight Fit charts - up to a 72" hip.

Straight and Curved fit does not refer to "plus-sizes", but rather body shapes (curved meaning having a bust).  It is a naming convention that offers an alternative to traditional gendered labels.

Very easy to follow

I didn’t expect such clear instructions. It really helps you through every step, including visual help. I personally didn’t need the videos, but if this was my first time making something like this, they would have been very helpful. Love how the bag turned out.

I had so much fun with this project!

As a newbie to the sewing world, I found this pattern super fun and challenging but easy to follow. A few things I would do differently…
- Make sure I don’t sew the rouleau too far into the dress, I made a beautiful tie from the plaid fabric but couldn’t fit it through my top loops! So I pivoted to this pretty cord.
- I would be more careful about cutting accurately and lining up the edges… something small can become a bigger issue, I had to abandon ship on the last step of sewing the hidden hem because it exposed how uneven the lining was sewn! Oops!

Otherwise I am so happy with how it came out and can’t wait to try again!

Tie back boots for Hilda and Twig Costume

The pattern was clear and easy to follow. I prepared an old child’s wool sweater per the instructions and used pieces for the toe. These are the red boots from the comic book series Hilda and Twig (Hilda’s boots). I also cut off the bottoms of water-shoes and sewed them to the bottom of the boots… to make them more useable. I wasn’t sure if suede or leather would be too slippery or thin. For the soles I used pieces of old jeans and hand stitched the rubber bottoms to them. I think it turned out. Thank you. I plan on making winter house slippers next time. Will make a cozy present for my mom.

You can never have too many pockets

The Epoch pocket is easy, fast and fun to sew and is so customizable. It’s a great scrap buster and the perfect canvas for embroidery or applique. It’s also so practical and adds a bit of flourish to any outfit.

Up your embroidery game

Twig + Tale’s patterns taught me to embroider, so it’s only fitting that they also helped bring my embroidery to the next level. I love the detail in the Secret Garden Embroidery Handbook. It really covers everything and can be applied to so much, even beyond embroidery. The included pattern helps you feel like your hand is being held, but the guide provides so much theory and technique that its easy to branch out and create your own designs.
