What makes Oh Me Oh My Patterns Special?

Oh Me Oh My is a one woman show created by me, Monica Bacon. I am a professionally trained fashion designer who has been sewing since I was 5 years old. I started making and selling sewing patterns in 2016 and it’s now my full time job. I’ve learned so much about how to clearly convey sewing instructions in that time and I’m always working to make my patterns the best they can be! It is truly my life’s passion and I feel so lucky to get to share it with you guys for a living.

When you buy an OMOM pattern you can feel assured it will include all the knowledge of a pro fashion designer and all the heart of someone who has loved sewing with my very own hands for over two decades.

So much time, energy and affection goes into my patterns. ❤️ I start by sewing and resewing the garment. Testing and retesting. I make sure I’m happy with the design and perfect the sewing methods I use. Then I take a ton of pictures of the process, write the instructions, do the graphic design etc. (so many little tasks and info include). This usually takes about two to six weeks. Then I send the pattern over to my pattern testing squad. They try out the pattern and let me know if there are any mistakes or things that could be better. The best thing about the pattern test phase is I get a good idea what steps will be trickiest for sewers of different experience levels so I tweak those sections to be as comprehensible as possible. I also get to see how the pattern fits on kids of all ages/women of all shapes and sizes to ensure I’m happy with the fit. Then the pattern becomes available to you all!
