Sewing Patterns for Cotton Lycra

You simply have to have this top, it is fabulous. A beautifully drafted pattern, detailed instructions anyone can follow and lots of tips for adjusting. What I love about PE Patterns is how easy it is to get a great fit, the mix and match ability between other PE Patterns and how on trend the designs are.

Another amazing pattern from PE. The WBWL pants are sublime, the fit is fantastic (made my usual PE size and they fit beautifully) and those butt darts!!! LOVE! They make the pants look tailored. I have made them in pants (liverpool) and shorts (two different lengths from DBP and Liverpool) and will be making many more. Love this pattern!

I’m a mum of two boys, so life if hectic. My wardrobe staples are my grab and go items and this top has quickly become what I am reaching for every morning. The Chasing Butterflies Top is so comfortable to wear, but more importantly gives effortless style wherever I am. It’s a quick and easy sew, so quick they nearly sew themselves.

Love this t shirt! I have made two. Excellent instructions, the neck binding came out perfectly. The curved hem was easy. The simple pattern really showcases a print fabric. I plan to make more! Thank you.

Love this skirt, I tend to have an issue fitting skirts like this but the instructions included in this pattern are so thorough and helps you get the perfect fit. Also there are so many options to customize the style of this skirt for all of the occasions.

I expected this pattern to be more complicated than other PE patterns I’ve made, but I was pleasantly surprised. It all went together surprisingly easily, and I can’t wait to make more. Kate’s sewing tips made even the “fiddly bits” of this pattern really straightforward to sew. This is currently my favourite pattern of all time!

this is the first pattern I ever got.
I was happy and excited to receive the pattern with an instruction book
I'm a Plus Size and the book includes images of all shapes and sizes

I wanted to thank you. I got myself 4 pattern and hopefully, I will sew myself a complete collection 💖

I love this jacket, it's so on trend! Once again Kate provides so many options that you can make multiple jackets and have them all be different and unique styles. The instructions are on point as always. I have made two so far and plan on making many more! One for every season, at least.

The Urban Pants are very easy to make and very comfortable to wear. Most important when making pants the pattern is true to size. I will be making lots of these in a variety of plain and patterned fabric. Instructions were so easy to follow. Stretch fabric is required for these pants. Scuba or Ponte are good choices of fabric for the pants. Great tips & hacks as I go. Thanks PE Patterns!

This is the perfect button front blouse. If you've always wanted to try your hand but have been intimidated by a shirt collar, give this pattern a shot. I've tried a number of patterns and this method gave me the best results on the first try!

I have always been intimidated with collared shirts and buttons and I can’t say enough good things not only about the drafting but the instructions are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. It gave me confidence and I was able to produce multiple super comfy shirts! Can’t wait to make more.

This has such a detailed tutorial and the finished shirt fits a dream and looks so professional! Thank you.

This is my first PE pattern I have made. I was drawn to this pattern because it is similar to a store bought shirt that I have and love. This pattern allowed me to recreate something similar. The instructions are fantastic and are very clear with helpful photographs. I really love the wide neck band and the binding process. I made my top 2 sizes smaller than my measured size to account for very drapey bamboo fabric I used and the result is perfect! I love this top and have plans to make more.

I just finished making a Be you tee with long sleeves, cuff and cowl. And I love it.
It is slightly more shaped at the waist than the besties and it looks really good on me. It fits beautifully at the bust, didn't even need an FBA. And I like the look of the cuff on the sleeves. Also the cowl is very comfortable. I am glad I tried another PE pattern.

The tutorial has the best placket and collar instructions I’ve ever used. The finish is so beautiful. Thank you!
