A pale oak table in a bright hall, set with folded patchwork tote bags, quilted blankets, a basket of drawstring pouches and fabric scissors

The only sewing pattern shop that hands your group the whole plan.

For the event organiser in a church or community group, planning a bazaar, holiday fair, fundraiser table or gift drive, with a volunteer group to make many handmade items by a fixed date.

See a sample plan

Start with your people and your event date.
The plan adds up the fabric and sizes the pattern to fit.
Each volunteer gets a task, so the work is done by the date.

Light wood shelves holding a wire basket of rolled fabric, stacks of folded cloth, and baskets of thread, folded patterns and swatches

A group kit is a pattern plus the plan: fabric totals, a task for every volunteer, all sized to your people and your event date.
