Blue Dot Patterns
I am a wife, mom, pattern designer and sewing teacher in sunny Southern California. I started sewing when I was tiny and haven't stopped since.
Blue Dot Patterns started in 2014 not only out of my love of sewing but from my experience as a sewing teacher. I found that my students were frustrated with commercial sewing patterns.
My vision with Blue Dot patterns is to inspire sewists through modern design and well-crafted patterns with friendly instructions. You can learn more about my patterns at bluedotpatterns.com.
I hope you enjoy making my patterns as much as I enjoy designing them.
