DIVERSITY POLICY

We know that everyone is unique and we strive to produce patterns and online classes that are accessible to all.

Stitch School, our online sewing classroom, makes our classes available to you 24/7 so you can learn new skills and techniques at a time that suits you and from the comfort of your home.

Our newest patterns are graded from a UK size 6 to a UK size 30 and while we know that each design won’t suit everyone, our step-by-step fitting and grading tutorials will help you adapt them to your style and body. We are also gradually working through the archive to update our older best-selling patterns to the improved size range. Do let us know if there is a particular pattern you are keen to see in the full size range and we’ll do our best.

Sewists are a diverse group and we strive to reflect that in our product and pattern imagery and in the fabulous photos of your SOI makes. We’re often asked questions about our models, so if you want to know more, you can read their mini bios below.
