The Big 4

If you are new to sewing, you might have seen “The Big 4” while web-surfing and wondered just what it means. 


The Big 4 refers to the 4 commercial pattern companies that you can find at most chain fabric stores: 

  1. Simplicity,
  2. McCalls,
  3. Butterick
  4. Vogue

The fabric chains tend to run these on sale from $0.99 to $3.99 about once a month.  You can browse the pattern books at the store or on-line to get those creative juices flowing.
