ELEVATED BASICS

Polished and PUT TOGETHER

The Patterns Room www.thepatternsroom.com Embellish with motifs “My favourite way to elevate a basic garment is to add DIY motifs and patches. I like utilising my fabric scraps for the patch and a simple garment I own. Here, I've refashioned a crewneck sweatshirt I made two years ago using my Gerbera top pattern, and I’ve added a big red heart from denim fabric, leaving a raw edge all around it. This is a great, sustainable alternative and doesn’t create waste. On my website, youcandownloada free PDF file for the heart shape in six sizes. It’s ideal for attaching heart motifs on tops, trousers and bags. There are many creative and easy ways to add these types of motifs - sew-on with a sewing machine or by hand, iron-on using a…

DIARY OF A PATTERN COLLECTION

In May, we began work on an autumn collection featuring three 2-in-1 patterns. Saara, our talented pattern maker, drafts the patterns, and together, we sew the prototypes. Our design process always follows a set order: we start by sketching the styles, both separately and together. Once the overall vision is clear, Saara creates the patterns, and we test them with prototypes. Finalising the patterns is a meticulous process, but it always begins with the prototypes, which we fit on both a mannequin and a real person. We create as many prototypes as needed to perfect the fit, though usually, one is enough! This time, however, we decided to pause the collection and take our summer break. When we returned to work in August, something didn’t feel quite right – the…

THE PATTERN I CHOSE: Wow, it’s been seriously chilly here in the UK since Christmas!

It’s the Blackwood Cardigan by Helen’s Closet, and honestly, I can’t get enough of it! Whether as a layering piece for a cold walk or just lounging at home, this cardigan has become my go-to for staying warm and stylish! SO WHAT ABOUT THE PATTERN: The pattern has two major versions, View A features a longline cardigan, while View B is a hip length, and I would say more of a traditional length, so when I came to make one, I wanted to take…

GET TO KNOW YOUR KNITS

What is a knit fabric? Knit fabric is made by thread connected to a needle making loops that are interwoven with other loops to make a piece of fabric. Knit fabric is one of the most common types of fabric used for everyday clothing. It is important to note that knitted fabrics are split up into weft knitted fabrics and warp knitted fabrics. While both of these fabrics are made up of yarn being interwoven together, there are some slight differences in their appearance. Different types of knit fabric There are three sub categories of knit fabric and all are made up differently: 1. Weft knit fabric Just like hand-knitted sweaters, the fabric is made by weaving yarn or threads around itself. So when you’re looking at the weave pattern…

Its resurgence this year reflects a broader appreciation for refined details in fashion, making it a noteworthy trend for both designers, sewers and fashion enthusiasts. Types of piping You can…

Nature-inspired Greens: Pantone has been favouring greens recently, reflecting nature and calm with rich forest greens and mossy tones resonating with our growing environmental consciousness.
