Hi, I'm Ellen.

I’m a sewist, knitter, and proud dog mum based in Naarm/Melbourne, and I’ve been sewing for as long as I can remember. I love easy-wearing, feminine and floaty clothing, which is exactly what I'm excited to create with Frances Made sewing patterns. I hope to make sewing feel approachable and joyful, with thoughtful designs that add a touch of whimsy to your wardrobe.

  • Effortless Style

    Patterns are intentionally simple but never boring. Clean lines, thoughtful details, and silhouettes that look polished with minimal effort.

  • Accessible & Inclusive

    Patterns are approachable for a wide range of skill levels and include diverse sizing, clear instructions, and flexible design options.

  • Slow Fashion Mindset

    Encouraging thoughtful making over fast consumption. Patterns are timeless, re-wearable, and designed to stay in rotation for years.
