What is the Peacock Patterns company all about?
Sewing is a passion, simple as that!
I intend Peacock Patterns to be a reflection of what I like, which are
niche things not mainstream items for the masses. I think people sew for self-expression and Peacock Patterns will give you
ideas to express yourself in a beautiful way. If you love vintage lines, unsual fabrics, details, celebrating unique features,
feathers and leathers watch for future inspiration at peacockpatterns.com

This is a uncut rectangular standard size Pashmina scarf.
It is from the pashmina goat. Simply drape around body and sew in invisible zipper for a great look.
This is how the Pashmina skirt cascade falls giving
an assymetrical hem and beautiful peak at both sides of the scarf. An elegant look!

It's Sew Time!!
This
is a creative way to turn a pashmina shawl into flirty skirt. Just insert an invisible zipper and sew in a waistband! Voila!
This shows how the cascade is formed. There is an invisible
zipper sewn at the center of the cascade. But you can't see it BECAUSE....shhhhh it's invisible.
Violet plays with a Catatomic Catnip Carrot. She
is my sewing buddy!
Smittens! These mittens are made from recycled
sweaters and lined with fleece. BUT these smittens are special as the palms have washable suede for added grip when
driving or shoveling! Warm, warm, warm and stylish too with the button on the cuff!
