I love sewing and the process when fabric becomes yor favorite garment. However, I prefer having less to do with the preparation stage, and this is where the idea for Ommelinen's patterns came from! I hope our patterns help you get to the most favorite part of the project more quickly!
You can choose the pattern and the fabric from our online store, or visit our store in Kinkomaa near Jyväskylä. Our team will help you choose the right pattern and fabric for your need!
Easy and clear patterns
Ommelinen's patterns have one garment per sheet, so the sheet is visually clear and easy to use. You can also find important marks at a glance. We try to avoid the use of pins by ironing the pattern onto the fabric and aligning the pieces by using notch marking.
The patterns are complete so it is easy for you to compare the pieces to your favorite clothing and ensure the right size. The patterns include 1 cm seam allowances, so the pattern parts you cut are guaranteed to fit together and there will be no misses.
Choosing your own size from the pattern
Choosing your own size is influenced by your own preference, how loose or tight you woud like your clothes to be. Our customers of the same size may choose clothes of completely different sizes; one may prefer a more fitting option than the other. You can find the measurements of the finished garment in the pattern package, or you can check the measurements on our website and compare them to your own favorite garment. Compare at least the measurements for underarm-armpit, shoulder-hem and shoulder-shoulder measurements. Another option is to compare the pattern to an existing garment. Place the garment on the pattern and see which size would be right for you. Remember that seam allowances have already been added to the pattern.
It is also possible for you to try on a ready-made garment made from the same pattern, if you visit our store in Kinkomaa.
How to use the iron-on pattern sheet
You can use Ommellinen's patterns in many different ways:
You can iron Ommmeline's patterns directly onto the fabric. It is worth cutting the pattern into a few parts, which makes ironing easier. After ironing, cut the template parts of your size from the sheet and at the same time from the fabric. The Advantage of this is that the parts of the pattern are dimensionally accurate. The fabric is ironed at the same time makimg sewing easier. By ironing, you also won't need to use any pins. If you're making several garments at once, the ironing technique allows you to cut several fabrics on top of each other - well as many as your scissors can handle!
You can also first cut out the sizes from the pattern sheet, iron them onto the fabric and then cut the fabric according to the pieces.
You can also use the pattern in the traditional way and reproduce the pattern on the pattern paper material of your choice. Iron-on pattern paper is available in Ommelinen's online store and store if you want to try the iron-on method but wish to keep the pattern sheet intact.
What should be considered before using the pattern?
In our pattern sheets, the patterns are whole, not halves as we are often used to. Before yo start make sure that you have enough space to accomodate a large pattern sheet. If you iron the pattern, make sure that you have a base to iron on. For example, put towels on the table as an ironing board so that the surface of the table is not damaged. Some of our customers say that they iron on a smooth carpet. Iron with as little heat as possible. Test how low heat the formula sticks to the fabric, then you can use the sheet several times. It is possible to iron the pattern on the sheet about five times if the ironing temperature has been low enough. The type of material naturally impacts the number of uses. Our own ironing record is over 20! If the adhesive surface of the pattern no longer works, you can continue using it like a normal paper pattern.
With a pattern video, we will sew the garment with you
When you buy the Ommelinen kaava, you get written sewing instructions and a link to the instructional video. The formula will be sent to you by mail and you will receive a link to the instructional video in your email when we process your order. The formula is delivered to you in a cardboard box, where you can keep all the parts of the formula after use, so that they remain with you for the next use. With the instructional video, we sew the garment step by step. You can sew along or watch the work steps in advance.
To sew the stitched patterns, you will need a seamstress and a sewing machine equipped with a double needle that can stitch a stretchy stitch. We also use a quilting machine.
Nothing but work
Ommellinen was born out of love for crafts, comfortable clothing and the moment when fabric comes to life as a garment. I hope that with the patterns, more and more people will be able to realize their creativity and enjoy the magic of making things with their hands. Dare to try it yourself and notice how self-made clothing rewards and increases appreciation for clothing and hand-made things. By making it yourself, you get exactly the kind of clothes you want!
Happy sewing times!
