About us
A small studio for sewing patterns
We draft, grade and test-sew garment patterns, then film a sew-along for each one.
Our story
Patterns drafted at a kitchen table
Bobbin started with a handful of patterns drafted for friends who wanted clothes that fit. They kept asking for copies, so we graded the sizes, wrote the booklets and opened a small shop.
Every pattern is test-sewn in several sizes before it is listed, and every sew-along is filmed on a home machine (sample process).
- Body measurements on every pattern
- Three print formats in one download
- Plain-English instructions
