About Belladonna Patterns

Welcome to Belladonna Patterns — where whimsy meets craftsmanship, and slow fashion blooms.

I’m Emily, the heart and hands behind Belladonna Patterns. A lifelong maker, I first fell in love with sewing nearly 20 years ago. With a background in visual arts and years spent as a working artist, I’ve always been drawn to the magic of creating something from nothing — whether it’s a painting, a sketch, or a beautifully crafted garment.

After a twist of fate (and a corporate downsizing), I decided to return to my creative roots and fully embrace my passion for sewing, illustration, and fashion. That journey led me to create Belladonna Patterns: a digital download sewing pattern company devoted to bringing a little more enchantment into everyday wardrobes.

Here, you’ll find patterns inspired by cottagecore dreams, witchy aesthetics, and renaissance romance — designed to be both wearable and practical for modern life. I believe in clothing that tells a story, empowers the maker, and honors the slow, thoughtful process of creation. Every pattern is crafted with care to help you sew garments that feel like magic — pieces you'll treasure, wear often, and love for years to come.

At Belladonna Patterns, sustainability is more than a buzzword; it's a commitment. By embracing slow fashion and encouraging makers to sew their own garments, we take a step away from fast fashion and towards a more mindful, earth-friendly wardrobe.

Thank you for supporting independent design and joining me on this creative journey. Let’s make some magic, one stitch at a time.
