Pattern List
We have found that some of the best projects for beginners are bags, pants, and skirts.
That is why we have included them in our curated list of patterns for the Beginners: Bags & Bottoms class.
Note: It is not guaranteed that we will have all these patterns in stock at the time of your class, it is best to inquire beforehand so you can plan accordingly. Our goal is to continually update this list to include a range of size and gender inclusive patterns.
