Paper pattern

Paper patterns are a proven basis for precisely fitting sewing projects: They provide the pattern pieces in paper form, size variations and often also step-by-step instructions. At your Stoffschwester you will find a wide range of paper pattern variations for children, women, men and bags as well as accompanying sewing magazines that offer inspiration and additional patterns.

What are paper patterns suitable for?

Paper patterns are ideal if you want to realize a project with a clear pattern and several size options. They are suitable for clothing, bags and accessories and are particularly helpful when fit or proportions are important. Many amateur sewers appreciate the accuracy of paper patterns - especially for patterns that require multiple sewing steps or interfacing.

Processing tips

When working with paper patterns, it is advisable to cut out the pattern pieces precisely in advance or transfer them to pattern paper. Pay attention to seam allowances: Some paper patterns include them, others do not - the description of the respective pattern will provide information. Carefully copy markings such as notches, grain lines and register marks, this makes it easier to assemble and ensures neat sewing.

What makes a good paper pattern?

• Clear, easy-to-read size and marking information
