About

 Hi I'm Ruth, a UK-based sewist and pattern designer. I started sewing my own clothes in 2020 during lockdown and haven't stopped since! I started SirenStitches as I wanted to share my designs and creative ideas with you all. I am passionate about helping people learn to sew their own unique garments that showcase their individual personalities, style and body shape. My digital PDF patterns include many variations so you can choose your own options to create your own unique garment that compliments your own personal style. All my patterns come with easy to understand instructions with clear colour photographs of each step.

My pattern names as well as the name of the website, are inspired by the many depictions of women in Mythology. From beautiful goddesses to mysterious sea creatures, my pattern names celebrate powerful images of women in popular culture and I hope they inspire you to create your own powerful image and be your the very best version of your self.

Our Values

Body Positivity

At SirenStitch Patterns we are serious about body positivity. We believe that everyone should feel fabulous in their clothes regardless of size or shape. All our sewing patterns are available in sizes 29inch/78cm - 48 inch/122cm bust and 60inch/23.5cm to 41.5inch/106cm waist. We have renamed our sizes from the traditional terms to use empowering words that celebrate our bodies in all shapes and sizes.

At Sirenstitch Patterns we are committed to helping you maintain your individuality and create your own unique wardrobe. All our patterns include several options for length, sleeve and neckline variations to allow you to mix and match and create your own unique look.

Inclusivity

At SirenStitch, our patterns are for everyone regards of age, race, culture, size, ability and gender identity. All our patterns are designed to our adult female size chart and we welcome anyone who identifies as female or enjoys sewing or wearing female clothing.

Environment

We are committed to environmental issues and sustainable sewing. Many of our patterns are designed to make use of scraps and offcuts. We are advocates of the slow fashion movement and believe that sewing good quality garments that will last for years is preferable to fast fashion consumerism.

Our digital patterns are layered so you only need to print the sizes and pages you need therefore saving ink and paper. All our patterns also come with a projector file to allow you to project directly onto the fabric, therefore omitting the need to print.

Mental Health

I am a true believer that sewing is the best therapy. Studies have shown that creativity can have such a positive effect on our mental health and I would love my sewing patterns to be part of your mental health journey. Join our SirenStitch Communities where you can share your creations and connect with other like minded people through a shared love of sewing. These are YOUR groups to join and share your sewing journey. I can't wait to see what you make!
