About Us

Hi, I’m Charlotte! 👋 I’m 46, living the dream in beautiful North Devon with my husband Richard, our two kids Dylan (16) and Freya (11)… and our menagerie of animals: 1 dog, 2 cats, and a pony. Yep, we like to keep life interesting! 🐶🐱🐴

I’ve spent the last 27 years in the publishing world, and sewing has always been my happy hobby. Then lockdown happened… and I thought, why not turn my obsession into a business? And just like that, The Printed Pattern Company was born. 🎉

With my publishing experience in exporting and distribution, I realised there was a gap: amazing PDF pattern designers around the world, but no easy way to get their designs printed and delivered in the UK. So I invested in a large-format printer and got to work.

Fast forward, and we now feature 17 incredible pattern companies on our website – all printed on A0 paper, so no endless printing and taping for you! 🖨️✂️

We also run a print shop, where you can upload your own patterns and have them printed and despatched – usually the very next day. Quick, easy, and no mess.

Basically, I make sewing life just that little bit easier, one printed pattern at a time. 💖
