Home sewing patterns are generally printed on tissue
paper and sold in packets containing
sewing instructions and suggestions for fabric and trim. Modern
patterns are available in a wide range of prices, sizes, styles, and
sewing skill levels, to meet the needs of consumers.
Home sewing patterns are graded, that is, redrawn to fit larger and
smaller sizes than the original design. Ebenezer Butterick invented the
commercially produced graded home sewing pattern in 1863 (based on grading
systems used by Victorian tailors), originally selling hand-drawn patterns
for men's and boys' clothing. In 1866, Butterick added patterns for
women's clothing, which remains the heart of the home sewing pattern
market today.
