About me

If you love to sew and create, you’ll feel right at home here!

I’m Elizabeth Reed, the owner and designer here at The Sewing Pattern since 2019. I love to sew, and I adore the way sewing brings people together.

As a married mom of 3 adorable kids, and a partner to an amazing man who supports me in every step of my creative journey that’s turned into a successful small business, my life is a delightful tapestry of family and craft. (He also lends a helping hand when I accidentally crash the website!)

In addition to being the Owner and Designer of The Sewing Pattern, I’m a Content Creator for the site, an Avid Crafter, English and German Language Translator with a MA diploma and 12 years of translation work in corporate finance, accountancy, audit, and taxes departments, a coffee addict, a family trips planner, and the manager of lots of little things.

I’m kind of nuts about crafts and easy sewing projects, and it’s no surprise—I was fortunate to be born into a family where my mom taught me how to hand-stitch, crochet, knit, and numerous other crafts. I even knew how to sew BEFORE I could read and write, and I loved it so much that I once sneaked behind my grandma’s back to use her precious Singer machine. I still vividly remember the day I broke a needle while attempting to sew a softie for the first time. Thanks, grandma, for not being angry and for explaining that we didn’t need to buy a whole new sewing machine because of that!

Feel free to contact me at Contact (at) thesewingpattern.com. I love your emails and respond to each and every one! And don’t forget to share photos of what you sew—I’d love to see them! ❤

Also, I sell my patterns in our own online pattern shop.
