Helen’s instructions are the absolute best. I always feel confident approaching a new technique when Helen is walking me through it.

Helen's Closet patterns are always well written, with clear and easy to understand directions and illustrations. One of the best features of HC is all of the fantastic pattern hacking ideas that Helen provides. It's like buying a handful of patterns for the cost of one!

When I first got back into sewing a few years ago, I needed a serious refresher on garment sewing techniques. What I love about Helen's Closet Patterns is that they have education on sewing techniques built into the instructions - perfect for beginners (or second time around beginners) like me.

I love all of the Helen’s Closet patterns that I’ve sewn, so far. They are stylish and modern but maybe more importantly to me, Helen clearly understands that people come in all shapes, sizes and ages and a well fitting garment is considered a top priority. Her patterns come with many ‘hacks’ and suggestions which are super helpful and inspiring.

The instructions are *chef's kiss* super well explained for learning and have recommended them for this reason alone. Besides the patterns themselves are easy to understand and construct. The blog posts with hacks and on how to adjust the patterns have helped me a lot also with other patterns. The Ashton and Gilbert are my two go-to patterns for tops.

Helens closet patterns have become staples in my wardrobe. The simple designs can be altered and hacked to make endless wardrobe choices. The instructions are very well written and perfect for a beginner. I know I can rely on a solid pattern when purchasing one of these gems.

With each of the Helen's Closet patterns I have made, I have found them clear and easy to understand. Each pattern has taught me new techniques and given me the confidence to adapt the patterns to fit my style and body. I always look forward to the next Helen's Closet release!

Helens closet is the best pattern brand I’ve found so far! They are inclusive and diverse, and accepting and encouraging. I’ve never had a pattern not look great and they are so well written and designed! Love the work and can’t wait to see what’s in their future!

Meg

As a beginner sewist I can’t recommend these patterns enough because the instructions are so thorough and thoughtful that they actually teach you to sew a completely finished and lasting garment inside and out compared to a lot of other brands.

Astrid

Helen's Closet patterns are accessible for all levels of sewists. There is so much great information included and the instructions are designed to walk a beginner through sewing their first few garments without being condescending to experienced sewists. HC is also committed to diversity and inclusivity, which I appreciate.

Katie

Every pattern is beautifully drafted, fits together like a glove and truly comprehensive instructions. Suitable for all sizes, abilities and in some cases genders! With an abundance of hints, hacks coupled with fun styling ideas, one is never short of inspiration. Helens Closet Patterns just simply get it right!
