About Us
Polka Dot Umbrella was created in 2013, originally selling boutique outfits for kids. Now our focus is on designing *sewing patterns* because we love teaching you how to create amazing outfits too!
All patterns are available for instant download. You can print at home on a regular printer, take the AO file to your nearest copy shop, or even use the projector file to project directly onto your fabric. Within the patterns, each size is layered individually so you can turn them on/off and print only the sizes you want.
Our step-by-step photos, detailed instructions, and clearly labeled pattern pieces are perfect for beginners. We also have a wide variety of patterns so intermediate and advanced sewists love them too! We strive to create patterns you can't find anywhere else.

So fun, easy to follow. I will be making more.
I have been sewing these patterns a long time, I love how easy the patterns are written and how fast they come together!!!
Love this jacket - sweatshirt. It sewed up perfect and was easy to follow.
Quick response when I had a sewing question. Knowledgeable and friendly.
I lengthened this coat and added some embroidery to make a Wonka coat - it is absolutely perfect! Well-written instructions and photo tutorial made it easy.
Easy to follow. They turned out great!
What a lovely sew that my daughter enjoyed wearing and yet she can still match her baby sister 🤗
I love this pattern, so easy and quick to sew up, I didn't even have to print since I was able to use the cut chart! My daughter loves this skirt and wants to wear it every time she sees it!
Every pattern I’ve purchased has had clear instructions, great visual aids, and such wide versatility!
My son was so pleased when I made him a baseball Jersey! The Upton was a straightforward sew and came together beautifully. I used athletic mesh and tricot fusible interfacing. I added HTV to make it look professional. I highly recommend this pattern!
I love a pattern that lets me mix woven and stretch and the is one is perfect for that! Well written good pictures and I love the projector file
These were quick and simple, and they pair nicely with other patterns.
