Papercut Patterns is a New Zealand based pattern design house that celebrates the combination of women’s individuality and eco-friendly fashion.

We design modern and renewable sewing patterns for a wide range of garments that span across all skill levels, that are available to purchase physically or digitally for your convenience.

With a focus on freedom of expression and positive body image, Papercut Patterns are dedicated to creating fashion with a consistent premium quality and a unique signature style.

Eco-friendly fashion hasn’t always had a glamorous essence to it, but we believe in a fashion revolution and the sustainability of sewing your own wardrobe without compromising on style. We aspire to design patterns that are not only contemporary and unique, but also wearable and timeless, so that you will wear your garments again and again. Our design-driven philosophy ensures that our patterns are mindfully crafted, and beautifully worn.

As part of the global sewing community, Papercut Patterns believe in kindness and mutual respect. We want our values of integrity, honesty, inclusivity, and empathy to be reflected in all we do. The sewing community brings together many types of people from all backgrounds, and we aspire to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable. 

All Papercut patterns are designed, sampled and printed in our design studio in Nelson, New Zealand, and we enjoy working with stockists across the globe from France to the United States.

Focus your creativity, and start stitching sustainability into your wardrobe.

Happy Sewing x
