Slow Made in Germany Vintage Patterns
We are passionate about taking time out of our busy lives to enjoy vintage designs, fabrics and threads. We provide a range of rare sewing patterns, which we have traced from our collection of vintage German sewing magazines. With these, you can sew yourself a unique, authentic garment from a bygone era that you will treasure forever. Good things take time — slow down! Although we are a very small company of only two people, we try to add new designs each month and can also trace patterns from our collection on special request.
Our focus is on finding interesting designs for vintage clothing enthusiasts, rather than creating a huge e-commerce website. We reply to each enquiry personally and we do not use AI for any of our work or correspondence. Rather than leaving these vintage designs to gather dust in our basements, we want to inspire people to use them again. Making these old patterns available in modern, easy-to-use formats will hopefully help to preserve sewing knowledge and skills. These sewing patterns are intended for experienced garment makers (sewists) because most were originally published without instructions. However, we encourage you to try something different and original!
