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. Browse our shop to find timeless classics, comfy everyday clothes, boutique styles, sporty options, costume creations, edgy fashion pieces, and everything in between! At Polka Dot Umbrella, we've got you covered!

Perfect!

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.

Kristen's Ruffled Skirt for Adults

Such a joy to sew!

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!

Perfect Baseball Jersey

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!
