Here are some examples of the types of items you'll find in our Etsy shop. The one-of-a-kind handmade items shown here
may not still be available, but hopefully you'll find something just as good in their place!
Sewing and Quilting Patterns All ePatterns are available on our Etsy shop, Cottage by the Pond, and are richly illustrated tutorial style with step-by-step photographs, and are available for sale at all times in PDF format. We're also Environmentally Friendly! We provide text-only pages of the instructions at the end of each pattern for you to print, so that you can refer to the full color photographs online to save ink and paper. A lovely note from one of our first customers: "Thanks so much for sending the pattern so quickly. Really super service! I also wanted to tell you
that I really appreciate how professional and polished the pattern itself is. Great photos and clear instructions are not
always what appears when one orders a pattern, but this is super." -- J. D.
