We’ve got spirit, yes we do. We’ve got spirit, how ’bout you?!?!
I am pumped to share that we are gearing up for another round of “P4P Spirit Month“, just like we did in 2020! As soon as the calendar flips to May 1, it’s go time y’all!
What are we doing exactly? Our team is super in love with Me Made May and the idea behind getting to know your self-made clothing, and to celebrate your sewing skills. Big props to So, Zo…What Do You Know? for starting this social media movement a decade ago.
We decided to kick it up a notch by creating themes around each day. Think of it like Spirit Week at school…where all of your fellow classmates dress in theme together and you get to feel the excitement and camaraderie surrounding your themed clothing efforts. Instead of it only lasting a week, it’s the ENTIRE MONTH. And the themes are pretty achievable, using items you already have in your closet. You can play along as much or as little as you’d like.
The rules are pretty simple.
Why play along with us? To have fun, of course. But also — there are some prizes involved.
We will pick three random names from all of the images that are shared using our hashtag. (Our super pirate sleuths will make sure you’re following all of the rules and posting on the correct days.) And those winners will be walking away with $25 in store credit to the Patterns for Pirates pattern shop!
Each day that you participate and share counts as an entry into the contest. The winners will be random lottery winners, meaning that everyone has a chance….from a beginner who might be sewing their first P4P to a seasoned apparel sewist!
But wait. There’s more!
Each day, we will be featuring a different P4P pattern, and for 24 hours only, that pattern will be $2 off. No code needed. Each featured pattern will be announced in the Facebook group at 9am EST by Crew Member Katy McKinley…so go find her posts each morning to find the daily deal!
Have more questions for us? Send us an email ( help@patternsforpirates.com ) and we will be ready on the other side with an answer!
Spring is full of new beginnings and the world coming back to life around us with flowers blooming + trees budding. And we often find ourselves making plans for parties, travel, weddings, graduations…the works. We thought we’d add one more little bit of fun + excitement to your spring by launching our 2023 Spring sitewide sale! (We only ever have 2-3 sales a year, so take advantage of our discounts while you can!)
But that’s not all! We’ve got a big announcement AND also have a giveaway happening alongside the sale. SO MUCH GOODNESS. Let’s talk details!
First, let’s start with talking about the sale itself.
We’ve got big news, y’all. HUGE. We spent an intense amount of time going through every. single. pattern. in our catalog and they’ve all been updated to include all of the current file types that we offer!
Every pattern now has Letter, A4, A0 and Projector file types with active layers!!! ::cue happy dancing::
Even the earliest patterns in our collections have received these updates. All you’ll need to do is log into your account and head to “Downloads” and any pattern you’ve previously purchased from us will automatically have these files updated and available for you to download.
**When we say “every”, there are a few patterns that don’t include A0 file types. They are typically the pattern pieces that are so small that we considered it a waste of money, paper and resources to print them on such a large piece of paper.
————
Let’s do a quick refresher of the different files + formats we offer, in case you needed it:
Please keep in mind that, while even our Freebies received these updates, our free patterns will continue to have a 3o-day expiration policy on the file downloads. This policy was enacted in January 2021 and is explained in this post: IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT :: CHANGES TO FREEBIES! (tl/dr version…our free patterns expire after 30 days. If you haven’t saved them to a local device and it’s past the 30 days, you’ll simply have to go through the checkout process with the ::still free:: pattern to get access to the downloads again.)
And now onto more of the fun stuff we’ve got going on during the Spring Sale: a Contest + Giveaway! Wooooo!
HOW TO ENTER:
————
We have three amazing prize packages for the giveaway. Winners will be selected at random and as always, we encourage sewists of all skill levels to enter their finished items and join in on the fun!
GIVEAWAY PRIZE #1: We wanted to celebrate the addition of projector file types to our ::entire:: catalog by gifting one of our Pirate Community Members with the choice between a new Serger OR a new Projector! Here are the links to the items the winner will be able to choose between: 1080P HD, Wifi + Bluetooth Projector or Brother 1034D Serger (affiliate links)
GIVEAWAY PRIZE #2: One lucky winner will be receiving a $100 gift card from our fabric shop: Anchor Fabrics! We grand opened the shop during the Fall 2022 season and it’s been a joyride to be able to also supply fabric to our sewing community! At Anchor Fabrics, it’s our mission to deliver high quality fabrics at prices that won’t leave you shipwrecked.
GIVEAWAY PRIZE #3: Our admin Katy just opened up a new shop called Maker Swag, where she’s creating items and curating a space specifically geared toward makers like you! To join in on the spring sale excitement, she’s hooking up a lucky duck with a $50 store credit to load up on some new sewist swag!
We will also be picking random winners throughout the sale to surprise with some freebies! We’ve got plans for gifting fabric + sewist swag from past months of our Fabric for Pirates shipments, some Patterns for Pirates pattern freebies and other little prizes to share with our Pirate Community!

We released TWENTY (20) brand new patterns to the catalogue.

Lumberjack Sew-along: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5 | Day 6 | Day 7
Kelli & Charli Sew-along: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5 | Day 6 | Day 7
You chose your MOST LOVED patterns of the year!
We always enjoy checking the stats and seeing what the most popular downloads were for the past year. This year was just as fun to check out, with these six patterns showing up the most in our customers’ carts.
We made some BIG announcements!
Patterns for Pirates hit a huge milestone in our Facebook group! We surpassed the 150,000 membership mark earlier this year and we are so thankful for it! The group has been the bread and butter of our sewing community for so many years now and we love having it as a platform to connect with sewists around the world.
Not only did our Facebook group grow to an incredible 150K members, we also launched a brand new fabric company in the Patterns for Pirates companies. Anchor Fabrics is place to head for all of your fabric needs! We’ve stocked it full of the highest-quality fabrics that are perfect for sewing up your favorite apparel pieces.
We also gave the P4P brand a bit of a facelift and you’ll see us all over the web, rocking our updated look!
We watched our social media GROW!
Thank you to all the new followers, members, etc and for everyone who was here already and stayed with us! We appreciate each and every single one of the follows, members, subscribers, etc! Not only are you learning from our patterns + posts, but you’re returning the favor by helping us learn and be inspired daily!
It has been a heck of a year and we look forward to sewing through 2023 with you!
I’m so excited to share the biggest announcement to hit the blog in a long time! Along with our Fall Sale this year and as we near hitting 150K Facebook members in our sewing group we’re also opening up a small fabric shop called Anchor Fabrics!
You might wonder why I’d ever try adding anything else to my overflowing plate? Me too… jkjkjk 😉 I absolutely love to share the love of sewing, especially helping those new to the art. Katy and I started the monthly fabric subscription, Fabric for Pirates, 3 years ago now and have since been on the hunt for smaller wholesalers we could support through that. I’ve been purchasing my own fabric samples from our wholesalers for a while now, which means you’ve been seeing these fabrics being used in many of our new pattern releases.
I get asked so often where my fabrics are from, and now I can pass along the support of a small wholesale business and give you the same fabrics I’m asked about at the same time!
We’ve started out with a small collection of beautiful fall inspired fabrics. I will continue to order samples for pattern in testing and stock my favorites on the site along with pattern releases. This way if you love a fabric I’ve sewn up and shared I will have it for you to purchase for yourself! How fun is that? I can’t wait to provide even more help for beginners trying to pair the perfect fabric to their patterns.
In each of the fabric listings, I have linked a few P4P patterns that will pair nicely with the fabrics. This is such a useful tool for beginners, especially for those who are still working on figuring out which fabric goes with which patterns. And of course you can always ask in either Facebook group.
Yep, there is another group now! If you’d like to join the Anchor Fabrics Facebook group, we’d love to have you! Anchor Fabrics new group will be your new go-to place to share what you’ve made with your fabrics, no matter the designer or pattern! It’s also a great way to ask questions about fabric pairing, color matching, or anything else you need advice or assistance on when it comes to our fabrics.
I’ve tried very hard to include ALLLL the important information about each fabric listed on the site for those who might not be acquainted with the different kinds of apparel fabrics. I’ve showed close ups with the back and front (to show texture), draped over a maniquin (to show scale, drape and opacity), and flat fold with other available colors for thickness and color. I use two color correcting devices, natural lighting, and a simple background to make sure I’m representing the colors the best I can in the photos.
Each listing also includes a video showcasing that fabric, so you can see more than what a photo can sometimes capture. Our goal is to help you become more confident in selecting and purchasing fabrics from us, so you can make all of your sewing dreams come true! We want you to bring your apparel sewing visions to life with Anchor Fabrics, no matter if you’re a experienced sewist or just starting out on your sewing journey.
I also try to show the fabrics I thought matched well together on the site for you!
I love to be able to grab a matching rib knit for cuffs, neckbands, etc. Sometimes it’s hard to know if a burgundy color in two different fabric bases will even match one-another. That’s why I’ve try my best to show the fabric combinations that I think work really well together to help make that easier for you. No more guess work!
One of my favorite set-ups on the Anchor Fabrics website is that we are offering everything in 1/2 yard increments! If you just need a little bit of that matching rib for cuffs you can grab just 1/2 yard instead of a full yard. Or if you’re colorblocking your make… just grab 1/2 yards of each color!
You can also order continuous yardage in half yard increments as well… so those pesky Peg Legs that take JUST OVER one yard… you can now order 1.5yards rather than 2 full yards. YES!!!!
With the Grand Opening of Anchor Fabrics, and the Fall Sale at Patterns for Pirates happening at the same time, now is your perfect chance to stock up of fabric and patterns for the upcoming holiday sewing, fall and winter weather, and just grab whatever you’ve been eyeing! If you have seen a make of mine that you loved the fabric and would love for me to stock it on Anchor… let me know 🙂 I might just be able to do that!
Sale coupon codes will automatically pop up at the cart and you just CLICK TO APPLY 🙂 That way you don’t have to remember the codes! Don’t forget to subscribe to our newsletters so you never miss out of sales and releases. We don’t send newsletters unless there is something new and worthy of an email, so no worries about us clogging up your email. If you’re subscribed and never see those emails, make sure we are not being hidden into your junk or promotions folder to never be seen!
I hope you’re excited to venture into this new journey with me. I’m hoping to make the sewing process more accessible and smoother for all those trying to learn the art of sewing and those who don’t have much time for their hobby they love. I cannot wait to see what everyone makes with our patterns and fabrics!
Spring time is here…and with it flowers are blooming and sales are happening!
Please enjoy our Spring Sale Monday, April 25 thru Monday, May 2 (11:59PM US Central Time Zone) with code: springtime for 30% off your total purchase!
The code will pop up on your checkout page and you can just click to apply 🙂 So no need to worry about jotting it down or trying to remember it exactly!
We only have site wide sales 2-3 times a year, so grab the patterns you’ve been eyeing while you have the chance!
Have fun shopping and then sewing!
