Two Stitches patterns are designed and manufactured by Anna Hodgson in the UK. The simple, practical styles can grow with your child as the multi-graded paper patterns go from 6-12 months right up to 9 years of age. So, give the boot to fast fashion and sew clothes to last as you’ll be able to trace and reuse the pattern year after year. Don’t forget to also look at the dungarees, shirt and pinafore patterns too.
