Meet Elbe Textiles, the independent pattern brand creating modern, thoughtful sewing patterns with elevated details that you will love to sew.

Founded by Lauren, a designer with a lifelong passion for sewing and textiles, Elbe Textiles offers beautifully constructed patterns for both womenswear and menswear—from structured jackets to elevated everyday pieces.

Don't miss our interview on the blog, looking at the story behind the brand, discovering what drives Lauren's design process, and learning more about the patterns.

Elbe Textiles Carey Top and Skirt

Co-ords are everywhere this season, so Carey is a great pattern to sew right now. The gently curved panels can be highlighted with topstitching. 

Elbe Textiles Townsend Shirt

This modern take on the button-up shirt has a literal twist. Wrap ties are built into the front bodice and tie in the back, and you can opt for a round neck or classic collar.

Elbe Textiles Rundle Dress

Perfectly simple yet elevated, Rundle has multiple strap and length options that can be mixed and matched to create your own style.

Elbe Textiles Page Dress

This is possibly my favourite from the collection. Opt for a beautifully pleated bodice or a simple shift; Page is the perfect summer dress.

Elbe Textiles Serpentine Hat

Shake up your sewing with a quick and easy design to sew - a hat! Popular in the sewing community, Serpentine is an excellent way to co-ordinate your summery outfits.

Elbe Textiles Cornell Shirt

This casual, oversized unisex design features drop shoulders and a grandpa collar and beautiful insides (we're looking at you, French seams!).

Elbe Textiles Kidman Jacket

One of Lauren's favourite patterns, Kidman features curved seam lines that are emphasised with topstitching. There are in-seam pockets within the front panels and your choice of button or snap closures at the centre front.

Wardrobe by Me Waistcoat Top

Perhaps you fancy sewing a summer top with a twist? This modern top combines the clean lines of a tailored vest with the ease of a sleeveless top. Unstructured and unlined, featuring a deep V-neckline, front and back darts. It's a versatile wardrobe staple that can be worn on its own or layered over a shirt or T-shirt.

Sew Over It Tie

Slim and modern in design, the Tie makes a great gift for someone special in your life. It is quick to sew and, if you make it in some funky fabric, fun to wear. Why not use the scraps from another handmade project and create matching outfits?

Sew Over It Piped Floor Cushion

Add some stylish extra seating to your home with the Piped Floor Cushion. The top and bottom pieces are gathered into the middle, and you can add a fabric-covered button for extra detail. You can fill the Piped Floor Cushion with a ready-made cushion inner, some stuffing, or even make good use of all the fabric scraps you have lying around!

Sew Over It Grocery Bag

The Grocery Bag features two sets of straps for easy carrying and has lots of useful pockets on the inside to keep your groceries from falling on top of each other. Keep your eggs from being squished by your milk, or your garlic bread from being flattened by your wine! 

I hope that's left you brimming with inspiration! Enjoy browsing the newest sewing pattern releases.
