About SewlySlowly patterns:
Faithfully reproduced, accurately redrawn, PDF format, vintage patterns.
Made with love and attention to detail.
All patterns in English.
All original pattern markings have been transferred accurately to the digital version.
Be aware that vintage patterns are not as thorough and clear in their instructions as modern patterns. As such, I recommend this pattern for an experienced beginner onward. However, amazing things can be achieved with a little patience and some googling!

Minimal waste:
I've tried really hard to minimise paper waste, print costs, and assembly time by fitting as much as humanly possible onto as few sheets of paper. I aim to fit all pattern pieces on to one or two A0 sheets. Some A0 sheets may need to be taped together for larger pattern pieces.

About me:
I'm Mariam, I'm a sewist and vintage pattern enthusiast! I have a growing stash of vintage patterns, and am slowly making my way through the collection, digitising them so that others can enjoy! Follow along if you'd like to see more — I'll be making additions to the shop on a semi-regular basis.
