The New & Improved Kwik Sew Patterns

Sometime last week, Kwik Sew came out with their new Fall patterns. There was only one or two patterns that caught my eye. I saw this pants pattern and thought it would be worth a try. For you Kwik Sew pattern lovers, you’re going to love the improvements KS made recently to their new patterns.

I purchased the new KS3625 pants pattern yesterday. I noticed the front envelope had a new look. When I turned the envelope over, I was surprised to see a different look and color on the back envelope. The sizes now have a blue highlight bar. There is red text that highlights the features of the pattern. The overall information presented looks less cluttered, easier to read, and finding information is fast.

Inside, the pattern itself is pretty much the same. When you think about that, how could it get any better?


I instantly noticed a change to the instruction sheet format. KS has added a light pink to the pattern color to differentiate the pattern from fabric (layout section).

In the procedures and instruction area, the stitching lines are now marked in red. Also, the seam allowance text is red as well. Can’t miss that anymore.

I love the improvements made to the instruction sheet. The red stitching lines make it easier to follow the instructions. No more guessing or re-reading 3x what needs to be stitched next.

These are big improvements for KS. I personally think some of their patterns are worth the money especially when I don't have to tinker too much with the alterations. Their pattern paper is wonderful and lines are clearly marked.

When you have limited amount of time to sew, I think Kwik Sew is the way to go. And for some patterns, you have to "think outside the box" to make the garment a little bit better than the basic look.
