Hi there!
I’m Syd, a pattern designer with a raging sewing addiction. My secondary passions involve hiking all over the Pacific Northwest (proud Oregonian here), baking copious amounts of bread, and snuggling up with an audiobook while I crochet. Let’s be friends!

Your New Sewing Bestie
“I never liked sewing in school because of those super ugly things we made. I always thought, why don’t we make pretty things we ACTUALLY like to use? And this is what you create. I made my first pair of pants (from your pattern), which turned out spectacular.”
“I’m brand new to sewing and am hanging on your every word! You make it all so approachable (I’m not traditionally crafty or into hobbies of any sort), but I can’t tell you how excited I am to be consuming all of this and actually understanding what you’re explaining.”
“I <3 SYD GRAHAM PATTERNS!! This is my third of her patterns and they just get better and better. I love my Skyline dress and wear it just about everywhere.”
“I got a sewing machine but was worried I wouldn’t be able to sew well. But then I watched your videos, which made me realize that it’s okay to not be able to sew straight or perfectly if I’m making what I love and enjoying it. Your vibe really resonates with how I want to be, and I appreciate all of the advice.”
“I have bought a couple sewing patterns from Sydney and I adore them all! I love how there are tutorials on YouTube and she shares different ways to hack her patterns into new beautiful garments!”
“I have never sewn before and was able to complete this garment perfectly. Seriously, this was my first time using my sewing machine, and I made an entire dress. Cannot wait to buy more patterns!!!”
