SEW INTERNATIONAL | SPRING sewing inspiration from around the world 

Love this video and your style. WTG. Thank you.

I would sub again if I could! I usually don’t watch channels that don’t have sew alongs as a beginner ish but your detailed description of each pattern makes me addicted to this channel! Keep going around the world and exposing us to great patterns. Thank you for your work!

I am having a moment. Sistermag is amazing. I am old school. But I think I am about to order my first online PDF. I know. Taking a walk on the wild side. But I love there style so much. Thank you.

Brilliant informative vlog. Thanks Steph, I love your dialogue and suggestions 😊

I would love to like it twice! Also: yay Tytka! Happy to see Polish stuff out in the world ❤️‍🔥

Les Perlines especially intrigues me since it’s a Canadian brand! Forest and Thread looks lovely too. Thanks again for such a great roundup of brands 😊

Yay so glad to see Pattern cos featureed in these sewing pattern designer showcases - I came across her a couple of years ago and her patterns are wonderful! Perfect steo by steo instructions, amazing comms and the patterns are super stylish but with sprinkle of trend. Love her brand so much. I'm sewing her mini shirt dress this weekend

Thank you for scripting your videos. I know it is more work, but how refreshing to have information conveyed clearly and concisely. Looking forward to seeing more!

I really am glad to have found your channel through suggestions. Usually the suggested channels are lame. The past few years has been harder to find fun clothing designs. Most independent companies look all the same with the same designs. What you present are fun items that are different. I've gotten older but nowhere near dead yet... Though most seem to think that past 40, I should become dowdy. At 56, I am still growing old disgracefully and got at least another forty years of life to go. Still am a middle aged nerdy Goth. Mostly I sew things for my youngest daughter or my grandson. There are only so many black scrubs to sew up for my daughter. It takes some time to come up a good twist on scrubs that look both edgy and very practical that will stand up to 10+ years of wear. Next year she will enter medical school and would love to have black doctor's coats. My grandson has enough plush monsters and preschool nerdy Goth outfits. My other kids aren't as fun. Coming across so many of the different independent companies you present gave me visions of having my own fabric store and sewing center with classes. Well I can dream. Thank you!

I really like your international videos - wonderful to be introduced to new pattern companies and designers. Thank you so much.

Great contact as always! Thank you ❤

Steph, I love your international series...actually I love all of your videos...so interesting, well thought out and educational...keep up the great work!

This is such an inspirational video. the only pattern company I was familiar with before watching was PatternCos, which I absolutely love. I have a couple of her patterns. She has a Chanel inspired jacket pattern and the video tutorial is brilliant. Tytka studios is pulling at my heart, as I want to make bags this year. I also want to try Les Perlines. I really love that the patterns are showcased on fuller bodies. I want to try The Palma dress and the Cove slip dress. I want to sew the Henrietta dress from Spaghetti patterns. I love it. Thank you so much for introducing me to new designers.

Steph you always look so cute in the clothes you wear. Could you do some videos on how you fit tops and bottoms.

Oooh, what a great video, Steph! I love the Damn Good Dress from Forest & Thread!

Great recommendations ! Thank you very much for the research. I was most intrigued by the grocery bag from Tytka studio and the featured patterns by Ballery.

Great informative video- thank you! This introduced me to some new designers.

Great blog, thank you!

Thankyou so much Steph I love these videos so informative ❤ really love your style😊

Love your work. "Bond villain jumpsuit" tehehehe

Wow!!! Great collection ❤

Love this series.

Just discovered you and this was great, thank you. I’m always looking out for Indy patterns and you’ve introduced some I’ve never come across. Thanks, look forward to more. From a fellow sewing enthusiast in London.

I always love these videos! Now I have so many new tabs open haha. That beautiful tie wrap off the shoulder top I neeeeeeed to make!

Always a great video ❤❤❤

I generally have the same feeling about fabric bags but loving these designs. Not sure I'll make one though. I barely have time to sew clothes. I really love this series BTW. You have presented so many interesting brands I have never heard of and your presentation style is clear and concise.

New subscriber here. I’m in the UK too. Well that video sent me down a whole Tytka rabbit hole. Within 10mins I had bout a pattern and rummaged in my fabric stash! I have never made a bag before, so here goes!

What a great presentation. These international videos are a real treat. Thank you!

Your videos are a very delightful but serious problem when you have no self control. I keep seeing my list of sewing ideas grow each time you publish a video...and my fabric stash has grown accordingly 😂 damn you're delightfully expensive to watch. Jokes aside, thanks a lot for posting this. I love this series and also the activewear one!

Oh, love good cargo pants! I fell in love with them about 10 years ago (from Duluth Trading) as comfy & functional while working on home projects, but are my main wear when I leave the house. And I've been collecting nice bottom weight fabrics, but never sure if worth trying a pattern when it's only shown on skinny models... Love how this looks & on my list!! Love that you're introducing us to more Indie designers that think about the fit on real bodies! Thank you!

As always, a thoroughly interesting video! I will definitely be off to look at these designers in more depth. I do though want to (gently!) take issue with the 'craft' comment about bags. That might have been the case some time back but thanks to companies like Noodle Head, and the huge range of interfacing available, bag-making has come a long way. I have made the Making Backpack twice in a floral corduroy and I often get asked where I bought it from!

Lovely selection - I watched this while working on my first Forest & Thread pattern! I'm making the 24/7 Cami at the moment but all her finishing details are so lovely (french seams, bound buttonholes) and she puts up tutorials for those of us who are earlier in our sewing journeys. Also, I didn't know I need four-wine-bottle picnics.

Love these videos! Thank you🥰

I'm pretty new to your channel as I'm still quite a new sewist but I'm really loving everything you're putting out ! And fun fact, I actually have plans to cut out my fabric for a Henrietta Skirt by Spaghetti Western Sewing in a bright red linen tonight, just in time for spring !

Oh, great timing. I just finished my Adriane pants from Pattern Cos today. I really like the pattern and fit. The only thing I struggle with was a video tutorial, it really isn't for begginers ;) And I wish the sizing would be a bit more inclusive, I made the last size of this pants and they are tiny little bit snug. But otherwise I really enjoyed making.

So may great designers featured here! Thank you for doing this series! It saves me so much time. I have to try the jumpsuit from patterns by pattern cos -- once you said James Bond villain, I was sold.

Hi, so pleased to see a truly independent and individual approach to sewing fashion. You always manage to activate that little neglected corner of the brain that's screaming for some innovative and unique input. Thank you. By the way, what's this interesting looking top you are wearing in your vlog? Claudia

So happy to have found your channel. Your research must take hours, thank you!

I absolutely love these videos that you put together, because you always find indie designers that I've never hear of before! Keep up the fabulous work!

Really enjoy your style point of view! I am currently sewing the same pattern over and over again (oversized shirt from Assembly Line) but I enjoy seeing what's out there. I loved the Tytka bags - I have serious misgivings over making fabric bags, but those might persuade me.

i absolutely love this series of videos, ive found so many amazing patterns through them, thankyou so much for the research and sharing. I hope this channel grows to the size it deserves to - you are really doing something new and interesting here.

I saw the Forest & Thread 'The Jig Is Up' pattern on the Backstitch app and immediately went, "I have to make that." This was a fun list. :)

Great video I’ll be taking a look at all these. It wasn’t long, it was so interesting that it wasn’t long enough ! 😀

So excited to check out Les Perlines and PatternCos more! Thank you for highlighting all these companies. I am sure it is a lot of work, but your enthusiasm shows through and I really enjoy this series.

Thank you so, so much for this video! I love seeing all these designers. It's fantastic to have lots of choices.

Love this series, and I really enjoyed your selections here. Several here I will check out. Thanks!

Love your sew international series.

love these unique designers! and nay til more gathered 'buffet' dresses

thank you!

As always, you have got such a good eye for fabric choices, i love your shirt! And I love so many of your recommendations…i want to sew up that flat bottom tote bag too

I bought the Les Perlines cargo pants a few weeks back - I can't wait to make them! I happen to love the y2k trend because I was in junior high (I'm 35) and everything was so cute, but, like you, there were definitely moments of fitting room trauma back in the day for me as well, lol! 😂 But I now can sew for my own body, ergo I get to enjoy y2k fashion... 24 years later. 😊

Love it ! Live in Montreal, happy to get to know the patronist from quebec ❤❤

I really like your channel and this international pattern series! I’d recommend checking out Named Patterns in future ☺️.

I love what you are wearing!!! Ok, I’m gonna watch the rest of the video. 😂 Amazing pattern company suggestions! I’ve not heard of any of these except PatternCos.

Oooh, I love the cuffs on the blouse you are wearing. So lovely!

How refreshing to spotlight some lesser known designers! I went straight to Forest and Thread and purchased two patterns - thank you so much 😊

I'm just getting into the indy designer market, and it's very overwhelming. Having someone else provide curated lists has been great.

Great to see a selection of what's out there around the world. Loved the sculptural offerings from the Brooklyn designer!

Love the dam good dress and the blouse you are wearing!

Interestingly, last night I just bought one of the sleeves packs from patterncos for a Virago sleeve.

Amazing video as always! I completely fell in love with pattern cos 😍 It looks like you forgot to link sistermag patterns in the description though. Love from Sweden ❤️

great selection of pattern companies--added them to my IG feed, thanks! I like the cargo pants you mentioned on lesperlines. I'm super impressed with the detailed design flats (drafted illustration of garment image) and the measurement spread sheet for each finished size, wow, that's super and gives me great confidence in their technical skills to produce a well fit garment.

Awesome selection of interesting patterns! Always look forward to your round ups-agree it’s nice to have options that are not a tiered gathered skirt/dress 😂

Have you heard of Ann Ringstrand patterns from Sweden? She has a boutique and is now selling sewing patterns for the clothing. Very interesting but a bit pricey.

Please make SisterMag!!!

Another great video. Thank you.

I bought a pattern from Maison Fauve that you recommended :-) made a blouse and it's super cute!

Im very Interested in the Tytka Studio bag patterns. Thanks!

I feel that Kole’s dressing room trauma so deeply lol.

Thanks, both informative and inspiring. I love what you are wearing. What pattern is it?

I want to know what you. are wearing. It's gorgeous.

Hello! I looked up the hilda jumpsuit becasue it looks so fantastic but I can't find it anywhere on their website now. Do you have an idea where I can find it?
