What sewists are saying

Catherine

"There are other patterns out there for these sewing organizers, but the quality is what sold me on this one. Also, Ali has ways and suggestions to add sweetness and cuteness to her patterns. This one was the prettiest organizer that I have seen so I had to have it."

Antoinette V.

"The patterns from Arabesque are always very creative, easy to use, and fun to make. Arabesque is also a top-notch seller. PLEASE support this small business!!!!"

Roxie

What a great pattern! Very detailed, and the videos on YouTube to help you through the fiddly parts are awesome. It is such a versatile pattern that helps you make your sewing station what you need. If good for sewists, knitters, or crocheters.
