WOMENS SEWING PATTERNS
The Ordinary Folk was founded by Christine Camm, a home grown sewer and creative spirit. She was originally taught the basics of sewing from her mother and later developed an enthusiasm for sewing. For Christine, this began in self-drafting her own garments which began the thought process for how to break down and construct a garment. She later tried her hand at actually using sewing patterns and that experience brought a beautiful ease to sewing.
Using a sewing pattern that had been thoughtfully crafted and that gave her a great finished garment, without having to go back and forth correcting was a breath of fresh air. With a young family, the ability to create something with efficiency and ease has never been so important to her.
She also understands the beauty in creating something hand crafted, especially for your little one, and the restfulness that creative outlet brings.
Out of this place, she endeavoured to create her own line of sewing patterns for women and littles. This line of sewing patterns is an offering to other women to use their hands, make space for rest and rejuvenation and learn the skill to be able to create handmade garments that can serve you and your family, maybe even for generations to come.

The designer behind
The Ordinary Folk.
Hello to all who happen upon The Ordinary Folk.
I am Christine, the designer and pattern maker of The Ordinary Folk. I dream up garments I’d love for my own and my kids wardrobe and bring those to market for others too. I design patterns that are approachable for even beginners because I believe in the beautiful and traditional craft of sewing and the wonderful effect it has on our minds and bodies.
I am honoured to be a part of people’s sewing journeys and pray my patterns bless you.
Christine xx
