Welcome to NH Patterns

Here at NH Patterns we create modern sewing patterns and provide pattern cutting & sewing education for sewists who want to create a thoughtful, timeless, handmade wardrobe.

Designed with a focus on clean silhouettes, wearable details, and beautiful construction, NH Patterns blends contemporary sewing patterns with educational resources that help you understand not just how garments are sewn, but how they're designed. From beginner-friendly projects to deeper pattern cutting knowledge, the aim is to make sewing feel creative, inspiring and approachable.

BRAND NEW PATTERN

THE LUCIA DRESS

Simple, elegant and feminine. The Lucia dress is the perfect addition to your Summer wardrobe! Make it in denim like the model, or even something softer like a linen for a more breathable option.

  • Fully tested

    Our patterns are fully tested - we test our patterns in-house and also with a group of dedicated home sewers that go above and beyond in providing feedback on the design, fit and useability of our patterns

  • Size-inclusive

    Our patterns are developed in inclusive size ranges with careful attention to proportion, fit and grading, helping more sewists create clothes they genuinely love wearing.

  • Thoughtful design

    We believe great sewing patterns start with thoughtful design. Each pattern is created with careful attention to silhouette, proportion and construction to create garments that feel timeless, wearable and beautifully made.

  • Brilliant! Tash is a lovely lady, her pattern cutting course was excellent, she explains things very simply and easy to understand. I came away feeling far more confident to be able to tackle patterns and alter them to fit myself. Looking forward to future courses.

  • I love NH Patterns, they are on good quality paper, instructions are easy to understand. You will want to make the garments numerous times in different fabrics because the designs are so comfortable to wear.

  • Excellent class. The class was excellent and well paced for beginners. By the end of the day I felt that I had learned a lot and came away with a useful bag to use for a variety of purposes.

    Excellent, well paced explanation about the workings of an electric sewing machine, practical experience of preparing a bobbin and threading the machine.
