Here we present part two of what we hope is a comprehensive list of independent pattern companies producing dressmaking patterns available in the UK. Below we have listed the pattern companies alphabetically with a short description of what they offer with information on how to buy. Many are available as downloads and we specify where the paper versions of patterns can be bought in the UK. We will be adding to the list as new indie dressmaking companies appear. If you can add to our list, please use this contact form.
