The designer behind The Ordinary Folk.

Hello to all who happen upon The Ordinary Folk.

I am Christine, the designer and pattern maker of The Ordinary Folk. I dream up garments I’d love for my own and my kids wardrobe and bring those to market for others too. I design patterns that are approachable for even beginners because I believe in the beautiful and traditional craft of sewing and the wonderful effect it has on our minds and bodies.

I am honoured to be a part of people’s sewing journeys and pray my patterns bless you.
