Scientific Seamstress offers high-quality patterns and detailed sewing instructions in electronic format.  Each “ePattern” contains multiple design options and covers a wide range of sizes.  Just like science protocols, the instructions are written in a clear, logical manner with extreme attention to detail.  The author genuinely cares about the user’s sewing experience.  If she finds a step of garment construction tricky or tedious, she will experiment until she finds a better way.  Each volume generally requires one to two months of research and development.  The resulting patterns and instructions are put through a rigorous testing process by a group of sewing enthusiasts.  The ePattern is only published after it meets their exacting standards for sizing, understandability, and of course, style.
