What is a Sewing Pattern?
Sewing patterns are tools that aid in the construction of sewn items, be they garments, bags, or even tablecloths.
Sewing patterns guide makers through the creation of sewn items by providing paper templates that are removed from a pattern book and affixed to materials so that makers can cut out specifically shaped pieces and sew them together to create a specific piece.
