Hi! I'm Vicki - welcome to my little corner of the sewing world!
I made my first thing on a sewing machine, a pillowcase, when I was about ten, and I've been coming back to sewing ever since. Over the years I've made clothes, home decor, kids' costumes, and more gifts for family and friends than I can count. What I love most is the quiet satisfaction of making something from scratch, and that little moment of I actually made that when it's finished.
But I also remember the other side of it. The patterns that skipped a step. The instruction that assumed you already knew the thing it was trying to explain. The bit where you stop, stare at the page, and have no idea what to do next.
That's exactly what I set out to fix.
I design my patterns for beginners, and I over-explain on purpose. Every step is broken down clearly, with a photo to match, so you're never left guessing. If you've sewn a straight seam before, you can make these, and if you get to a tricky bit like a zip or a curve, I've already walked you through it.
My patterns are practical, everyday things like pouches, bags, sleeves and organisers - projects that are genuinely useful when they're done, and satisfying to make along the way. You can work at your own pace, and you don't need any special equipment to get started.
If you ever have a question, or you just want to show me what you've made, I'd love to hear from you. You can reach me at vicki@vickielle.com.au.

Happy sewing,
