The Fold Line sewing pattern shop is an online community and one-stop sewing pattern shop for makers and designers. You'll find all your favourite brands under one roof, and we can print your PDF patterns with our copyshop service. https://thefoldline.com
One of the best parts of having sewing as your superpower is that you can sew what you see. We've pulled together some high street summer buys that have jumped out to me lately, and the sewing patterns you could use to make your own version.
