Vikisews has dropped a mini collection of patterns perfect for New Year’s Eve celebrations. They really are show-stopping designs!
The second batch of Vikisews sewing patterns are available in paper format to snap up. The paper patterns include all sizes UK 6 – 20 for 5’5″ height (more height options are available with PDF styles, or you can use the lengthen/shorten lines on the paper patterns).
Vikisews paper patterns come with a multi-sized pattern sheet and QR code to access the instructions as a PDF to download and access whenever you need them. Very handy if, like me, you like to study instructions on the go before getting stuck in (I can’t be the only one who does this!).

The eagerly awaited Birgitta Helmersson Bell Jacket has hit the shop, and we are in L-O-V-E. Tell me more, you say? The oversized Bell Jacket has a rounded collar, front button closure, three front patch pockets, an inverted box pleat at the centre back neck, and wide, darted sleeves to fit over all your winter layers. Oh, and it’s fully lined.
So what is zero waste pattern cutting? Well, it’s a bit like a puzzle that strategically plans your pattern pieces, so everything is used. You draw your pattern pieces directly onto your fabric, following a cutting plan and templates instead of using printed pattern pieces, resulting in less fabric and paper waste! ? Sounds interesting, doesn’t it? Find more zero-waste patterns from Birgitta Helmersson in our shop!
