Needle in Hand present a range of sewing patterns catering for all skill levels and covering a wide range of sizes.

With over 50 years of costuming for the stage between us, we wanted our brand to have a theatrical theme running through it. Our designs are presented in Chapters, each containing 5 acts. The instruction booklets are divided into scenes and even include an interval halfway through!

We really hope you enjoy making our designs as much as we have enjoyed creating them.

Our boxed patterns contain an instruction booklet, a paper pattern and a Needle in Hand label to sew into your finished garment. The pattern paper is durable so can be re-pinned to a wide variety of fabrics to produce a limitless number of garments based around one, simple to follow, pattern.
