Sewing Patterns for Mature Figures

NEW PATTERN!

Fashion illustrations showing a variety of shirts, pants, skirts, dresses and jackets on models of various ages, sizes, races and shapes.

Styled and Sized for Mature Figures

Most sewing patterns are made for youthful “hourglass” figures, even though very few of us are actually that shape!

The natural rhythms of life - childbirth, age, health issues - can change our shapes a lot. Our sewing patterns should change, too!

Style Falcon patterns suit “mature figures.” That means:

  • Little bust-to-waist definition
  • Lower bust points, for a “C” to “D” cup
  • More room for your tummy, hip and bicep
  • Center-back seams, with rounded back and forward shoulder shaping

For Sewers of All Abilities

  • Accessible for the visually impaired, with bold lines and large-print instructions.
  • Clear, expertly written and illustrated instructions.
  • In paper and digital formats.
  • Print digital patterns at home or at a copy shop, with layered sizing so you just print the sizes you need.
  • Options for sewers from beginners to experts.
