Pattern Cutting Services
Helen Of Dot N Cross worked as a professional pattern cutter for many years and now offers a range of pattern cutting services, depending on whether you’re looking to create production ready patterns, a one off piece, or recreate a vintage garment. She also runs fantastic sewing and pattern cutting workshops including some at Handworked!
PDF Pattern Printing Service
Fabulosew is a sewing pattern printing company that prints patterns onto lightweight paper. We are aware that many pattern designers now sell predominantly PDF patterns and not everyone has the means to easily print them. At Fabulosew you can upload your pattern PDF and have it printed and posted to you. A really useful service and a very good price.
Alterations / Repair
For alterations and repairs, we can recommend Raine Studio. We are very lucky to have Ella and her team just over the road from us in Penzance. You can pop into their shop/studio at 12 Parade Street.
Raine also does clothing production and sampling. Follow the link to their Instagram page above for further information.
Yarn substitution Info
If you have a knitting pattern and you can’t get hold of the exact yarn you need, just put the yarn name into yarn subs search bar. Yarn sub will give you a list of possible substitutes and also tell you any important differences. They also have some great articles with all sorts of useful knitting and yarn based information.
