SewOver50 podcasts: supporting Curvy Pattern Database

Sarah Thomas runs the Curvy Pattern Database for free. Did you take part in this year's #sewingcpd2022 challenge in October?
Go to the Curvy Pattern Database Instagram account to see this year's winners.
Participants used #sewingcpd when they sewed a pattern from the Curvy Pattern Database in October to be in the running for one of 15 prizes. The top prize is US based – a Babylock sewing machine.

2021 was the first year #sewingcpd was run with over 40 prizes given away. That’s a lot of prizes for Sarah to manage on her own. There are now 133 designers in the database. Many of these designers will work with customers to grade out their patterns and work with you to ensure the pattern works for you as well.

As Sarah said, over 400 patterns are published each year now. Patterns need to be ‘one-click away’. Patterns in books, magazines, in collections and in subscriptions are not easy to find and won’t be on the Curvy Pattern Database.
