Do you have sewing plans this gift-giving season? I've been hearing from Thread Theory sewists about their Christmas PJ plans (Eastwood Pajamas), their novelty print Belvedere Waistcoat ideas, and the quick elastic wallets they sew each year as teacher gifts (filled with gift cards).
Here are some inspiring gifts made from Thread Theory patterns:
1. Fairfield Button-up by @aliciabeazley
2. Goldstream Peacoat by @becky.butler.art
3. Fairfield Button-ups by @kjaerhouse
Have you come across fellow Canadian Janine Vangool's gorgeous quarterly magazine for makers and her stunning encyclopedia series called The Uppercase Encyclopedia of Inspiration? If not, be sure to check out @uppercasemag
I'm honored to have been featured within Notions, part of the encyclopedia series. Janine gifted me a copy and it has already received a permanent position on my coffee table. It's perfect to flip through when I want to feel part of a community of creatives, when I want to delve deep into the history of my craft, or when I just really need some beautiful off-screen inspiration!
Important news for Thread Theory customers: Canada Post went on strike this morning. As a result, no orders will ship from our shop until the strike is over...to turn this from bad to good news we started our Black Friday sale early! 50% off Thread Theory PDF patterns...no shipping necessary!

Our most accessed tutorial (find it under Resources at www.threadtheory.ca) is by far our Welt Pocket tutorial. You can use it to create welts on any trouser pattern!
By far the most used page in the Resources section of the Thread Theory shop is "How to Measure a Man"... Have you used this tutorial? Answer yes or no!
Has it helped? What info is it lacking that you would like to learn? Add feedback as a comment! Much appreciated 😊
Weren't the #quadrajeans and #saywardraglan sold out?! Yes they were but you can now get a hybrid version in our shop - receive the tissue pattern and folder by mail and the entire PDF pattern by email (including the instructions)...all at a special sale price! It's a great way for us to prevent waste from our printers and a great way for you to get the best of both print and digital worlds. https://threadtheory.ca/collections/sale
Do you spy gorgeous lathe turned sewing tools? We have a select few available in our new pop up shop. It's a great spot to look for remnants, seconds and hybrid PDF/tissue patterns.
The Sew Outside the Box pop-up shop is live! It includes great prices on gorgeous wooden tool seconds, haberdashery remnants and, most intriguingly, hybrid Tissue/PDF patterns that allow you the best of both worlds at a discounted price! Why not have a little peek?
The Sombrio Polo digital pattern includes men's/straight figure and women's/curvy figure sizing. It includes our new extensive grading system to allow you to pick the size that fits just right. It has a short or long sleeve variation. It features an optional chest pocket. Best of all, this polo design doesn't skip any corners: The neckline is completely finished with twill tape, the shoulders are stabilized, the collar and placket are impeccably constructed and the fit is spot on what you would expect of a classic polo.
Ready to make yours?
