Hi, Iâm Jessica đ
Iâm the designer behind Violette Field Threads.
Iâve been creating sewing patterns for over 15 years, with one goal in mindâto make sewing feel approachable, even if youâre just starting out.
Every pattern is designed to guide you step-by-step so you can actually enjoy the process and feel proud of what you create.
Whether youâre sewing for your children, yourself, or just learning something new⌠youâre in the right place âď¸
đ If youâre new, start with my free Maeve pattern through the link in my bio. Itâs a risk free way to try out my patterns.
Note: this is my Florence pattern. đ It features a A soft V neckline, an Empire-length bodice with a comfortable elastic back panel and options for three gorgeous bodice styles and three skirt lengths!
*This is the micro bodice ruffle option. I used a vintage linen tablecloth to create this dress.

đSewing doesnât have to be complicated! Valerie requires NO hand-sewing, glueing or hand-tyingâŚjust a perfect bow every time! đ
One of the biggest things Iâve learned after years of designing patterns is thisâŚ
Sewing only feels hard when the process isnât clearly guided.
This Valerie bow comes together without anything trickyâand itâs a great reminder that sewing can actually feel simple and enjoyable. And this bow comes in SIX sizes!!
Thatâs exactly how I design all of my patterns đ
If youâve been wanting to start sewing but feel overwhelmedâŚ
You donât need to be.
đ Start with my free Maeve dress pattern through the link in my bio and if you love bows as much as I do, you might want to add in Valerie while youâre at it. đ

I stopped dead in my scroll when this dreamy Ashton dress on this precious little person came across my scroll. I canât tell you how much joy it brings me to see my sewing patterns being used by others. What a talented mama @morganmarieohio is! She made the dress and then photographed these moments in time so beautifully. #vft #violettefieldthreads #vftashton #mamamade #sewersofinstagram
I donât normally share a new release before itâs available- but Iâm just bursting to share. Darcy Dog is the most adorable stuffie to join the family. Do you sew? If you do, and you havenât sewn a stuffie yet, you absolutely should. This is the sort of project that gets a bounty of use after- not to mention smiles and warm cuddles. Darcy has just gone into testing today. I canât wait to see what fabric and option combos our testers dream up. #stuffies #violettefieldthreads #comingsoon #memademay dogdoll
A puffy bow key?!Of course I had to make one! Although I'm not in New England anymore, my love for my LL Bean tote remains strong, and now it's even cuter with a keychain!

A little milestone over here đĽš
My first makes as a Poppie Cotton ambassador⌠and I donât think I couldâve picked a sweeter beginning đâ¨
A little dress and an Atlas zipper case, both stitched up in Le Petit Escargotâfull of soft florals and tiny details. Itâs that quiet, storybook charm I canât get enough of.
Fabrics designed by @loriwoodsstudio for @poppiecotton Le Petit Escargot

Need some Spring Sewing inspiration? 𪥠𧾠Iâve put together some of my favorite sewing patterns. All Violette Field Threads, or course. #violettefieldthreads #handmadewardrobe #learntosew #pdfpattern #handmade
She made this for her daughter đŠś
Every piece chosen, every stitch intentionalâŚ
Turning fabric into something far, more meaningful than just a coat.
A true labor of love âď¸
This is what slow fashion can look likeâŚ
thoughtful, personal, and made to be remembered.
And the beauty of Winnie is that it can be just that.
Or, it can be a simple, quick, so youâll be wearing by the weekend. However, you make it, it becomes something uniquely yours. đŠś

This is your reminder that âslow fashionâ doesnât have to mean complicated đ¤
Winnie can be a slow, thoughtful projectâŚ
or a quick sew youâre wearing by the weekend.
It all depends on the fabric you choose âď¸ Jennifer used an existing quilt for this sample, so the project wasn't too time intensive. Just wait, the next post will showcase her amazing artistry for her teenage daughter's sample. It's a work of art. đđĽđ #vftwinnie #slowfashion #quiltcoat #memade #sewistsofinstagram
Sharing just a few fabric options I used for Winnie:
1. A new quilt I purchased in the clearance section
2. An old family quilt that had damage
3. Fabric on the bolt
My sewing pattern comes with instructions on using all of the above fabric types and more. I also give full instructions on quilting your own fabric, too.
Same pattern, completely different fabric options. New or old, quilted or not. #Vftwinnie #quiltcoatpattern #handmadewardrobe #learntosew #pdfpattern
