100 Acts of Sewing Patterns

100 Acts of Sewing began as a personal challenge for Bay-area based artist Sonya Phillip to create 100 dresses in a year. Her silhouettes are simple and easy to wear, but extremely adaptable, so you can make them exactly the way that you want!

Sonya describes her inspiration and process on her website: “Making clothing is a conscious choice; it is an investment of time over convenience. The creation of a functional garment, engenders self-sufficiency and happiness.”

Each pattern contains an instruction booklet that walks you through the steps, from tracing and cutting the pattern pieces, to making and sewing bias tape. The pattern is printed on bond paper, with eight nested sizes.
