Sewsuccessful: About Hourglass Patterns

About Hourglass Patterns©

All my patterns are drafted by hand and tested numerous times to ensure accuracy. I draft my patterns to accomadate a larger bust, and more muscular bicep and shoulder. I'm a fitness instructor and find it challenging to find RTW clothes that fit my 5'4", curvy, athletic frame.

Hourglass pdf patterns have the following benefits:

Easier, time saving pdf format so you don't have to overlap to match up points, simply abut the 8.5" x 11" paper and tape it
Easier storage of the pattern because it folds up cleanly into an 8.5" x 11" stack
Sized for XS-XL, giving you more room for grading to your actual size
Key body measurements denoted on the the patterns, making it easier to alter to your measurements
Online sewing tutorials available for some patterns
When applicable, some patterns will have sewing jigs, allowing you to alter some design elements of your pattern
All patterns include 5/8"seam allowances, unless otherwise noted on the pattern pieces.
All patterns include directions or a sewing tutorial

Designing and sewing has been my passion for 20+ years. I have a rather large collection of designs that I'm in the process of digitizing so I can build my storefront. Click on the ETSY Logo to visit my store. Or go to my store on Craftsy:
