We have been asked to recommend online pattern shops for clothing patterns. Whilst most definitely not comprehensive in any sense, we have been following these boutique patterns makers for their fabulous designs, many of which are on our bucket list of clothes to make and wear. Here's what's on our list:-
We love the variety and playfulness of Rad Patterns made for jersey/knit stretch fabrics. We are so inspired to sew for the whole family!
Loose fitting stylish clothes patterns to wear everyday (for the minimalist wardrobe) - The Draper's Daughter
A little bit of everything, with menswear options - Wardrobe by Me
The gorgeous outerwear patterns really make me want to live in a place with seasons - Grainline Studio
Last but no least, let's not forget the powerhouses from Vogue, Butterrick, Simplicity, and Burdastyle. There will always be a pattern that catches our eye in their catalogues.

A big shout out to all our students who has given us the opportunity to join you on your sewing journey! It is because of your love we are featured in the Best in Singapore list. Thanks to our students, our classes are only filled with the joy of sewing (on top of some stress ;P) and the studio bursting with creativity.
We want to take this opportunity to recognise the commitment our students have taken to allocate time (30 hours or more) to come to our studio to hone their craft. We understand that behind the table where you sat at, to just be there, you may have had to arrange babysitting of your little ones, child care for the older ones, minders for your older folks, planning of meetings, organising errand runs around the classes and many more other scenarios we may not fathom.
During the class, we recognise your commitment to be present in the moment to pay attention to the instructions, be open to discovering how things work and for some, running in the back of the mind could be thoughts of a tough conversation you had before walking into the class, something unresolved, or the constant reminder to yourself to work towards completing on time so you can rush off to pick up the kids or be on time for your next appointment.
At the end of the class, everyone walked out feeling a sense of accomplishment and for some a renewed sense of believe in themselves. For each time a stitch went off, each time you sat there to unpick, each time you had to redo something, you might start wavering and think of other things that didn't quite pan out the way it should have. With a laugh (or strained smile) and a focus on just that one step, you always found a way to accomplish what you set out to do.
You set yourself a goal, held yourself accountable and all these flurry of pre-planning for something more important than sewing - that is to make time for yourself and bring out the best in you.
Thank you for letting us join you on your sewing journey.

Stay Safe Everyone!
We all know what to do - stay home, only go out to get your groceries or food, keep in touch with people - especially those who live alone - but most importantly remember to be kind. Everyone is feeling the pressure of this scary situation, so we need to look out for each other.
Sew Fun is the product of our dedication to share our knowledge and love for fabric and sewing. Whilst we offer a range of classes for various skill levels at our sewing studio in Singapore. We bring to you our Youtube channel with this inaugural instructional video in hope to carry on our love in knowledge sharing with the community within the Red Dot and beyond.
