The Somerset T-shirt | new pattern release

CLOSE UP black and white IMAGE of details of the Somerset t-shirt sewing pattern sample made in a black and white fabric

 

We are very excited to announce our gorgeous (and long-awaited) Somerset t-shirt pattern will be released tomorrow!

We would usually celebrate a new pattern release with 20% discount for the weekend. But this time we have decided to do something a little different and instead, we will donate 50% of the sales of each Somerset pattern sold (£4.375 per pattern) over our launch weekend to Refuge to help them continue their amazing work in providing support and refuge for women and children against domestic violence.

Refuge is committed to a world where domestic violence and violence against women and girls is not tolerated and where women and children can live in safety. We aim to empower women and children to rebuild their lives, free from violence and fear. We provide a range of life-saving and life-changing services, and a voice for the voiceless.

As a family-run business, we are very lucky to have been able to empower ourselves to be able to do what we love every day and we would like to contribute to the work of Refuge so they can continue to empower others. If you would like to donate directly to Refuge, just click the button below to go straight to their website.Thank you x

Printed Pattern Update!

MAVEN_PATTERNS_PAPER_PATTERNS

It was so lovely to meet you all at the Sewing Bee Live and The Knit & Stitch Show! A big thank you to all of you that took the time to say hi, bought one of our paper patterns or showed your support with a smile. The sewing community really is the best!

Our newly launched paper patterns were very popular – phew! – and I’m very pleased to say that after a lot of beavering away behind the scenes (behind the seams?) we are nearly ready to sell them online. It’s taken a little longer than anticipated – life kinda got in the way over here.

The paper patterns will almost certainly be on Etsy first, alongside our PDF patterns. And then we will pop them in our very own shop when we’ve dotted all the i’s and crossed all the t’s.MAVEN_PATTERNS_PAPER_PATTERNS

Our collection of patterns each come in such a beautiful box, lovely and practical for keeping all of your pattern pieces and the Maker Instruction booklet together.

And of course, they’d make the most delightful Christmas gift for the sewist in your life!???

We’ll be back with an update in a few days…Happy Sewing!!
