Here at Peppermint, we’re passionate about all things craft, creativity and community, which is why we’ve invested so much into our gorgeous sewing patterns over the years!

We’re extremely proud of our patterns – they’re greatly loved by sewists around the world and we’re so grateful for the support. How do they come about, you ask? Well, firstly we start by dreaming up what design and style we’d like to create – that’s the fun part! We then commission and pay a patternmaker to help bring our visions to life. Once the pattern has been developed we sew a sample to test it thoroughly. When we’re happy with the final design, we shoot the campaign images, create the instructions and the downloadable pattern files. Phew! All of this takes three months at a minimum and is planned long in advance of the release date.

We’ve been giving away many of our patterns for free for many years now, and wish that we could continue to do so. We’re eternally grateful to the lovely sponsors who made it possible for us to keep the patterns free for our community for such a long time, but producing these patterns (including paying patternmakers, testers, models, sewists, as well as the ongoing promotional, creative and logistical costs) is costly and as a small business with rising expenses, we now need to charge a fee to continue our work. The good news is that a free digital pattern is included in each magazine issue, and subscribers exclusively receive FOUR digital sewing patterns per year – how cool is that?!

The best part about this change is that it will allow us to continue to do what we do and bring more patterns to you, our beloved sewist community. Trust us, we’ve got plenty of ideas up our me-made sleeves and we can’t wait to share them with you! Happy sewing xox
