DESIGNERS TO DISCOVER IN 2025

We added a bunch of wonderful new designers to the shop in 2024. We love championing indie pattern designers and bringing you fresh new patterns to sew, so we wanted to round up some of the additions you might have missed.

You may recognise some of them, or you may be discovering a brand-new-to-you gem! They all have some wonderfully individual qualities in their patterns. We hope you’ll enjoy scrolling through some of their designs and that you discover something new today.


Vivian Shao Chen

With patterns that combine understated simplicity with special design features, they are projects you will love to sew. Vivian is an interior architect and designer whose love for creativity shines through in her sewing patterns. The thoughtful details are what make these such intriguing designs. The Nepheline Blouse took you all be storm, becoming of our top releases of the year making it a great place to start if you are discovering Vivian's patterns for the first time.

Notches

Founded by Britt and Evelien who both worked on the much-loved Maison Victor sewing magazine, Notches fresh designs for women, men and kids are pretty cool.
 
Notches is our way of taking steps towards a better, healthier world. We love fashion, but realise that the fashion industry is one of the most polluting sectors. That is why we offer this alternative."
You get to play designer with these fashion-forward patterns and we just love that concept. The Judy pattern was an instant hit with fellow Foldliners. Maybe the 26 options included with the pattern had something to do with it!

Sizing: Women's - UK 6 - 28 / Men's - XS – 5X / Children's - approx. 2 – 15 years)

Jenerates


We'd been lusting after Jenerates tools for some time now, and when we saw them IRL at the Stitch Festival we just knew we needed to bring them to the Fold Line shop! After a sell-out launch, we've been trying our best to keep these amazing tools in stock.

Founded by Jen Hogg (Sewing Bee 2019 alumni) in 2020, the designs of unique sewing tools are quite something. Rather than the usual plastic, most of Jenerates tools are lovingly crafted from cherry wood veneer and are made in Scotland. They don't just look beautiful (although that helps!), they are thoughtfully designed to provide you with just what you need.

Little Rosy Cheeks


Do you finish your projects by sewing in a label? It’s one of my favourite parts of the sewing process – almost like a full stop. We thought it was about time we extended our offering and brought you Little Rosy Cheeks!
Founded in Scotland during the 2020, Victoria spent time repeating affirmations with her children for their return to school, wishing that she could put something into their pockets to give them comfort and confidence. And Little Rosy Cheeks was born!

The labels reflect Victoria’s love for colour, print and positivity and they are a lovely way to finish your garments off. Made in the UK and packed in Scotland, the labels are high quality and comfortable to wear. We also stock Victoria's range of easy-to-sew children's sewing patterns.

Sizing: Children's 3-4 - 13-14 years

Coralie Bijasson

Designed in France, the patterns are timeless and elegant. With a wealth of tops, dresses, jackets, trousers and more to sew for your daily wardrobe, there is sure to be something that makes you go "Ooh la la! If you love classic designs with a little feminine flair, Coralie Bijasson is worth a browsing session. The Emeline Shirt has been particularly popular, so that's a great place to start your très chic journey!

Sizing : UK 6 - 26

BF Patterns

As long time admirers (and shoppers) of Blackbird Fabrics, we are beyond excited about welcoming the sister brand to one of our most-loved fabric shops to the Fold Line family.

 


So, why do we think these patterns should become your new sewing bff? They combine trend-led designs that cater to ambitious sewers and easy-going project lovers alike. They are fashionable but are also things you can wear every day. Basically, they are your unfussy pal who shows up for every occasion.
If you want to test the water before you commit to best friend status, try sewing the Bestie Bag. It's been one of our most popular sewing pattern releases of 2024!

Sizing: UK 6 - 38

Elle Stitch


Ellen is an avid sewist, maker and designer whose goal is to design modern and inclusive sewing patterns for all to enjoy. Elle Stitch is based on the sunny NSW South Coast in Australia, and you can feel it in every design! The designs are, as you would expect, easy and breezy. The Sage Jacket is a must-have reversible qulited jacket and the Fleur Dress features the most interesting seam lines under the bust.

Sizing: UK 6 - 24
