2022 A Year in Review

It’s always so much fun for us to look back on the year as it comes to a close and reflect on all that we did during that time!  Here’s a quick glance back at 2022 with Patterns for Pirates!

We released TWENTY (20) brand new patterns to the catalogue. 

The majority of them were designed and drafted by Judy Hale (our beloved Pirate Captain) and five of them were from our newest ::official:: designer, Katy McKinley!

Don’t forget that we offer youth + adult patterns in bundles, as well!

We shared SIX (6) super fun freebies with our sewing community!

They are our way of saying “thank you” for being such amazing members of our sewing family!

We delivered TWELVE (12) amazing fabrics to our subscribers!

Fabric for Pirates has been such an incredible journey for us and we’ve loved the excitement, creativity, and joy you all share with us as you receive your fabric each month!

Please join the fun and subscribe to Fabric for Pirates for the 2023 season!

We hosted TWO (2) fun sew-alongs!

The Lumberjack Patterns (Hourglass / V Figure / Youth) and Kelli’s Dress / Charli’s Dress were all showcased by Alex through sew-alongs that help you sew these patterns even more than our tutorials do! Our sew-alongs remain forever available on our blog and the YouTube videos are such a helpful resource!

You chose your MOST LOVED patterns of the year!

We always enjoy checking the stats and seeing what the most popular downloads were for the past year. This year was just as fun to check out, with these six patterns showing up the most in our customers’ carts.

We made some BIG announcements!

Patterns for Pirates hit a huge milestone in our Facebook group! We surpassed the 150,000 membership mark earlier this year and we are so thankful for it! The group has been the bread and butter of our sewing community for so many years now and we love having it as a platform to connect with sewists around the world.

Not only did our Facebook group grow to an incredible 150K members, we also launched a brand new fabric company in the Patterns for Pirates companies. Anchor Fabrics is place to head for all of your fabric needs! We’ve stocked it full of the highest-quality fabrics that are perfect for sewing up your favorite apparel pieces.

We also gave the P4P brand a bit of a facelift and you’ll see us all over the web, rocking our updated look!

We watched our social media GROW!

Thank you to all the new followers, members, etc and for everyone who was here already and stayed with us! We appreciate each and every single one of the follows, members, subscribers, etc! Not only are you learning from our patterns + posts, but you’re returning the favor by helping us learn and be inspired daily!

It has been a heck of a year and we look forward to sewing through 2023 with you!
