Keeleigh says it’s fun to wear AltarPDX Francis Wrap Dress. It took about 3 hours to cut & sew this flared sleeve version. Even less for the shorter version with cap sleeves. And the wrap ties have such a clever trick. Get your copy of the pattern.

It’s a first. Make your own PDX designer clothes from these patterns.. It’s a first. You too can make designer garments — made by a nationally-known PDX designer. Cassie of AltarPDX dishes the details.
Altar is particularly known for making seasonless staples that aim for a timeless and sophisticated aesthetic,” she says. “For this project, we chose garments that year-after-year can transition to new eras of our lives
Each of the three patterns is styled as a “classroom in a book”, with detailed illustrations and links to videos, so even beginning stitchers can complete a garment they will love to wear.

It’s official today.
PFI launches its project to work with Portland area designers and turn some of their popular designs into patterns you can sew. It’s PFI's way of boosting independent design and the makers movement.
The first patterns come from Portland designer AltarPDX @shop_altar Designer Cassie Ridgway is known for making seasonless staples that aim for a timeless and sophisticated aesthetic. AltarPDX is sold worldwide. Most all of the garments are recycled from dead stock. All are made in America.
Each of the patterns is styled as a “classroom in a book”, with detailed illustrations and links to videos, so even beginning stitchers can complete a garment they will love to wear.
Designer patterns are available at pfisewing.com and altarpdx.com
