About the Maker
Old Time Patterns was founded by Sandy Gowland, a historical sewist and researcher with 20 years of experience studying, recreating, and teaching historical garment construction.
Since starting her business in 2006, Sandy has developed a deep understanding of period patterns, traditional sewing techniques, and historical clothing. Through Old Time Patterns, she shares that knowledge to help others create historically inspired garments with greater confidence and accuracy.
