We have another fun contest to celebrate Folkwear's 50th year! Over the years, we have heard from many customers who have collected Folkwear patterns. The cover illustrations are iconic and I often hear from people how inspirational they can be -- even if the pattern never gets made. And after 50 years of patterns, with over120 patterns that have gone to print, a large collection can be understandable!
So we want to see your Folkwear pattern collection! Email us a photo or post a photo to social media (and tag us so we see it!) of your Folkwear patterns. Let us know how many you have in your collection. Bonus for telling us which are your favorites!
The contest goes for the whole month of June. We will pick a random winner and a winner with the largest collection to get gift certificates to our shop. And, EVERYONE who participates gets a coupon code to use in our shop. So, send on your photos!
Email info@folkwear.com
Or tag us on Facebook @folkwearpatterns or Instagram @folkwearsewing.patterns
We can't wait to see your patterns and hear your stories!

I own 61 Folkwear Patterns plus the Pieced Clothing by Yvonne Porcella and the American Tribal Style Headdress & Makeup Booklet. I’ve been collecting since they were first introduced. Unfortunately, I cannot photograph the majority as they are currently at my daughter’s in … Asheville, where I live during the cold weather! I do have a few with me in NY where I live during the warmer weather. I do own all of the children’s patterns and so much more. I have made several Folkwear patterns over the years that include a couple of the out of print patterns. I find myself returning to these patterns in retirement and am enjoying the posts with others’ makes, but since this has been a year of transitions with moving I haven’t had the time to participate with new makes. I am now mostly settled in and have a couple of makes on my to-sew list. Egyptian shirt is next.
