I’m Heather Lou, founder of Closet Core Patterns. I started sewing because I was in debt up to my eyeballs from shopping, I was bored and unfulfilled at work, and I was desperate for a creative outlet. I had no idea that learning how to sew would completely change the course of my life...

Over the years, we’ve grown from a one-woman show in my Montreal apartment to a thriving small team who are as obsessed with sewing, creating, and learning as I am.

Welcome to our collective obsession; I encourage you to explore our rich pattern catalogue and content library filled with sewing classes, videos and blog tutorials – our mission is to make sewing fun, inspiring, and accessible for everyone who wants to create their dream wardrobe.

We're so happy you're here! The world is a better place every time you sit down to sew.
