Friday Pattern Company At Backstitch: A Warm Welcome!

We recently welcomed the Friday Pattern Company at Backstitch, making space for ten elegant and comfortable designs, with another three new patterns eagerly awaited. The designer behind the Friday Pattern Company is Chelsea Gurnoe, based in Sacramento, CA. Her modern sewing patterns are minimalist and easy to sew, fun and cheeky. In addition, 5% of their proceeds go to a rotating collection of charities.

The Joan Trousers look so comfortable, like secret pyjamas! Recommended fabrics for Joan are knits with a bit of body: ponte; French terry; double knits; interlock knits. The Adrienne Blouse is suitable for knits of all kinds. For inspiration, take a look at our Backstitch selection of knit jersey and ponte fabrics. We also offer a class for those not 100% confident in sewing with knit fabrics yet: 'Sew with Jersey and Make A T-Shirt'.
