Seasons of East is an independent sewing pattern company run by sisters Carol and Barb.

We first started the concept for Seasons of East a decade ago after attending an introduction to sewing class one evening. Neither of us was particularly creative and had never touched a sewing machine before, however three hours later after being surrounded by beautiful fabrics and consuming plenty of coffee and cake, we both walked away with an envelope cushion and were beyond thrilled. It was from that moment that our joint obsession with sewing was born.

It had never occurred to us to start our own business but after completing hours of classes and undertaking a pattern drafting course we began to think: this is possible. Ever the professional, Barb sent a meeting invite by email to convene in our living room and we had our very first business meeting to discuss what would become Seasons of East.

We want to share what we’ve learned through countless hours of making, researching, mistakes and wonderful breakthrough moments. We are passionate about teaching you everything that we learned the hard way, sharing with you the things that brought us joy and building a community who can support one another on a journey that will – hopefully – be a lifelong passion!
