Take a look at the customer reviews below each pattern - you'll find that our customers love sewing these up. You can get professional results, even as a beginner to sewing. These make great gifts too!
Our patterns generally come with a full tutorial and color photos in an easy-to-print PDF. PDF Pattern pieces are computer-generated and color-coded for easy cutting. Most of the featured jacket patterns also include layers and projector files - the few that don't are in the process of being updated to include them.
You'll notice that many of our jacket patterns can be sewn with knit fabric. Go to KnitFabric.com for all of your apparel fabric needs - we have higher quality fabric, at better prices, with flat rate shipping. AND…be sure to share your sewing project at the Peek-a-Boo Facebook Group.
