Nice to meet you! We're a pair of seasoned costume makers working to design the kinds of patterns and crafting resources we wish we could have had when we first started sewing!
What We Offer
Now more than ever, sewing patterns of every kind are easy to find online, but not all are made the same way—or even by humans! With the rise of AI, untested and auto-generated patterns have flooded into every corner of the crafting market.
What sets our sewing patterns apart from drag-and-drop template-made or AI-generated patterns is the considerations and perspectives we have as experienced crafters and costume makers. Some things still need a human touch!
Each pattern is thoughtfully designed, tested, and revised over a series of months, with the goal of adding continued value to your pattern stash. We want you to be able to use and reuse our patterns for years. That's why we never sell auto-generated pattern files made with ‘instant’ or ‘quick’ design software.
Our mission statement is: Let's make simple, useful, modular patterns that are easy to modify!

Kevin aka HayabusaKnight is a cosplayer with years of costuming under his belt. He picked up sewing early from his household, learning skills passed on to him by several generations of tailors and theater staff, which fostered in him a love of crafting. Frequently selected in years past as ACE's Featured Male Cosplayer on American Cosplay Paradise, he has created an enormous amount of props and costumes for himself and others. His years as a cosplayer, commissioner, and small business owner make him invaluable when brainstorming new patterns, assisting in product testing & development, and staying on top of our social media & customer support.
