OUR STORY
We believe in creating quality patterns because sewing isn't hard when you have good guidance and take things one step at a time.
I started the Grainline Studio blog as a creative outlet in 2009 while working as a pattern maker in Chicago. During this time I kept noticing gaps in the home sewing market.
When I launched our first pattern in 2011 I knew I wanted something different – a contemporary fit with clear instructions that actually made sense.
Now our small team of industry professionals develops each pattern through multiple fittings, extensive testing, and careful editing. That philosophy guides everything we do; creating patterns that build your confidence as you sew.
MEET THE FOUNDER
My approach to sewing has always been about finding what works for you.
After years in the sewing industry, I've learned there are countless ways to achieve the same beautiful result. The key is having clear guidance and taking things at your own pace.
There's nothing quite like the confidence and pride that comes from mastering a new technique or finishing a challenging project! That feeling is what makes all the careful pattern development worth it.
