Pavelka Design sewing patterns started with juicy and fun appliqué quilt patterns in 1994. They quickly evolved into fun and comfortable clothing for women and even children. Fairly early on, I realized that most patterns did not fit women up to plus sizes and the next sewing patterns went way up to 60 inch bust size.
Our patterns are a wonderful way to show off your love for multiple fabrics with great ways to strip piece and color block great fabrics from your stash.

I wish you all the best and hope you make something timeless, flattering and wonderful.
Enjoy!
