Sizing
It is vitally important, when sewing your own clothes, to take accurate measurements of your body, and not rely on the sizing you expect to buy on the high street. This is why we’ve switched out the usual sizes (eg, 8-22) for our own system of numbers 1-8 or letters XS-XXL. Please measure yourself to pick your correct size.

My Handmade Wardrobe
WE WANT TO ENJOY MAKING CLOTHES WE'LL WEAR - ALL THE TIME... ...And we know you do as well!
We have been gathering research and customer feedback since opening our shop Crafty Sew&So in 2015 and long before that too!
We've been listening to our customer's requests for practical, modern, well-fitting garments which fit your body shape and lifestyle. But our desire to create the ultimate dressmaking patterns, as unique and stylish as those using them, is personal! When Sarah began teaching she found that the patterns on offer did not aid the learning process! So we're putting an end to confusing sizing, baffling instructions and outdated styling. Having battled with many-a-pattern throughout our sewing adventures we think it's time for a change!
We collaborate with the sewing community to inspire and support you in your dressmaking adventures through our blog on this site and the Crafty Bloggers club on our site www.craftysewandso.com. Keep an eye on our blog for first hand reviews, add-on pattern updates and lots of ideas for how to get the most out of each pattern pack.
"Do what-with-the-who-now...?!" No matter how long you have been sewing for, we believe you should have fun making your clothes!
So, when we write our instructions we don’t assume you have a lot of sewing experience, or hide important details (such as seam allowances). Everything you need to know before you sew is clearly laid out in an easy to follow format.
All My Handmade Wardrobe Patterns feature in-depth instructions, supported by additional online tutorials and in-depth techniques guides. Our step-by-step photographs and instructions are written in everyday language and any sewing techniques or terms are clearly explained along the way to ensure you will understand the process for this make and lots more to follow!
Our patterns teach you how to measure yourself and the pattern to ensure the perfect fit before you've even put scissors to cloth. We will guide you to check the fit of your garment as you go to avoid spending to much time with the dreaded unpicker!
