The Fold Line Blog

We're baaaaaack! Happy New Year Foldliners! Are you ready for the first Edit of 2025? I'm pleased to report that it's stuffed with lovely new patterns perfect for kickstarting the sewing year.

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.

We decided to take a look at the stats and see which blog posts you favoured. We’ve rounded up the top 10 blog posts of 2024 so you can revisit your favourites, discover something you missed and spend some festive downtime with a spot of sewing inspiration. Hope you enjoy it!

As 2024 is about to come to a close, we have been nosing at which new indie pattern releases have been the most popular with you all this year. It's been a strong year for pattern releases, and this list is full of ideas for your next sewing adventure.

Some great stuff to keep you company over the festive period. Settle in for this months Sew Down

This is the final Edit of the year, but before we love you and leave you, we have a cracking selection of patterns to share. There's a stunning scarf coat that will be worth taking your time over, a top and dress pattern with 36 ways to make it and a new batch of Fibre Mood PDFs to drool over. Enjoy!

I've got a cracking update for you. Flick through the latest Fibre Mood magazine with me, drool over Friday Pattern Co's latest design and swoon over a cardigan coat with the chicest tie detail. It's an unmissable sewing pattern update!

Gilets are all over the high street this season, and we are in luck as we have plenty of patterns to pick from to make our own warming (and styling) piece. If you only sew one thing this season, you won't regret choosing a gilet.

This week I am sharing a brand new innovation from Jenerates that we will never be without, six new woven labels for the sweary sewists of the group and two autumnal patterns that make a great outfit.

It's that time of year where partywear is everywhere in the shops so here is our edit of some fun looks!

If you love sewing trousers (and wearing them), you will enjoy this update, as I have three top-notch patterns to walk you through. There are also some cosy new additions that you can curl up in or with.. Whether you are a novice or experienced sewist, we have a project for you!

Are you planning to sew a pair of pyjamas to wear over the festive season? To save you time searching for the perfect pyjama sewing pattern, I've edited them down to 10 great designs. There are styles for advanced sewers and beginner dressmakers alike.
