See how the lines continue on the overlap?
That’s what makes all the difference ✂️
Stop trimming every single edge of every page.
(Who actually has time for that?)
Just cut the corners (or tape to a window) to line up your print-at-home pattern tiles.
Prefer to skip assembling altogether?
Our size-inclusive PDF sewing patterns also come in A0 and projector format.

If you think you can’t sew a shirt,
try this one 🤝
The Clara pattern made me realise shirtmaking is way less scary than you make it in your head. Turns out you just need a good pattern, cute fabric, and a little delusion ✨
Shirt fabric is this dreamy deadstock designer fabric from @sewmesunshine.uk
Denim for the trousers is from @madeline_de_stoffenmadam
PS: if you’re just as obsessed with these trousers as I am… keep your eyes peeled 👀 tester call coming soon.
Shirt pattern:
Clara #notchesclara (pdf on our webshop, paper in stores)
👉 also available for men (Cuba) and for kids (Colombia)
Trouser pattern:
Tiki #notchestiki (coming soon)
Meet Cuba 🖤
The kind of shirt that somehow looks very put together while being surprisingly easy to sew. Add a Cuban collar, skip the collar, add pockets, go wild with contrast details or keep it super clean — honestly, every version becomes a different vibe.
We made ours in linen, bold prints and even a summer knit and now we want to make ten more 🙃
And yes: shirt sewing can actually be easy.
Which version would you make?

A little behind-the-scenes recap of this week because WOW 😭📦
This was the very first time we tried launching our paper patterns at the exact same time as the PDF release… and let’s just say: we now fully understand why we used to spread those launches out 🫠
Normally, we focus on the PDF launch first and print/distribute the paper sewing patterns afterwards, just to keep the workload manageable for our tiny two-person team.
But this time we wanted everything to be available together 🥹✨
Did we make that happen? Spoiler: no …
It resulted in:
✔️ Clara selling out during pre-sale
✔️ Clara and Colombia arriving safely, but too late
✔️ Cuba disappearing somewhere between the printer and our studio 😭
✔️ emergency reprints
✔️ lots of unpacking
✔️ lots of stress
✔️ and honestly… a lot of gratitude too
Seeing your excitement for these patterns has been completely surreal.
Thank you for supporting our small business, for your patience when things go wrong, and for being here for all the beautiful AND chaotic moments behind a launch 🫶
And special thanks to @destoffenkamer for bringing this idea to life with us 🙏

… and yet it is!
This is what effortless actually looks like
Cuba is one of those pieces that instantly makes an outfit feel put together without overthinking it
Make it in clean cotton shirting

Go for a colour-blocked bowling version
or try textured fabrics like crochet knits or embroidery
