Pssst!

Much of the learning materials and content from Digital Pattern Library including all the courses you see here, PDF sewing patterns and Fashion File packs are included inside The DPL Atelier. If you’re someone who prefers to DIY and work through the process alone, then grab one of the courses above or treat yourself to a digital product.

If you crave support, accountability, a safe space to creatively express who you are whilst being around likeminded stylish sewists with access to bonus content (yes, in addition to everything listed above!), then The DPL Atelier might be a better choice.
