Can I purchase paper patterns at Spotlight?
Yes, you can. The vast collection of paper patterns at Spotlight includes patterns for clothing, toys, home objects, seasonal items, craft projects and offers you a huge choice of different projects suitable for beginners as well as experienced dressmakers and tailors. Patterns include well-known fashion names including Vogue, Burda, McCall, Simplicity and New Look plus many others, and most paper patterns come in a range of sizes and offer variations as indicated on the front of the pattern, such as different length of skirt, trouser legs, sleeves, or options such as an added hood or pockets.
What type of clothing patterns are included in the range?
Because the range of paper patterns is so large, it has been divided in a number of categories, allowing you to refine your search. Look for patterns for men, women or kids, babies and toddlers, or choose your garment type by selecting dresses, skirts, pants, tops, coats or similar categories. There are also special ranges for sleepwear, sportswear, costumes, hats and even pets clothing. As well as standard patterns, you will find petite patterns, plus-size patterns and maternity wear patterns in the range.
What other types of paper patterns are included in the range?
The paper pattern range also includes a number of decorative and useful home objects that you can make and customise to suit your interior. Everyday items include seat and cushion covers, window treatments, storage items and decorative objects, and these is also a range of seasonal items for Christmas, Halloween and other occasions throughout the year.
Are paper patterns expensive?
No, most of the patterns are priced at well under ten dollars, although some for very elaborate clothing or large projects can cost more. Keep in mind that paper patterns can be used more than once, which is particularly useful for kids clothing where you can make the same type outfit in a bigger size, with a bit of careful measuring. You can also adapt patterns to make more than one garment from the same pattern, and sometimes just using a different fabric can create a whole new look from the same pattern.
What else do I need to know about paper patterns?
Most paper patterns are full of useful information so even if you are new to using paper patterns, you will be able to see how much fabric and what type of fabric is needed for your project, what other accessories you may need, how the pattern pieces need to be placed on the fabric, and in which order they need to be assembled to create your finished item. Always follow instructions such as pieces that need to be put against a fold in the fabric (important if you do not want a seam showing), allowing for stretch in fabrics, and leaving the correct seam allowance.
Of course, you will be able to get all your required equipment, trims, fabrics, accessories and other sewing essentials here at Spotlight, so remember to check out all our sewing and fabric ranges today.
