About Us

Peony Patterns was founded by Natasha Baxter in July 2020 and is proudly based in Northern NSW, Australia.

Natasha’s love of sewing began in her grandmother’s sewing room, where she learned timeless skills passed down through generations. Before launching Peony Patterns, she ran Ellie’s Handmade, a bespoke children’s clothing business known for beautifully crafted, custom garments. She later spent several years designing for Little Lizard King (USA), where she created many popular patterns still loved by sewists around the world.

Each Peony Pattern is designed with clarity and ease in mind. We provide detailed, step-by-step instructions, full-colour photographs, video tutorials, layered sizing, and helpful techniques—making garment construction a joyful process for both beginners and experienced sewists. Patterns include both metric and imperial measurements to support our global sewing community.

We love seeing the creativity of our customers come to life. Whether you're just beginning or a seasoned creator, we invite you to join our Facebook Sewing Group to share your makes, ask questions, and find inspiration from others.

Peony Patterns acknowledges the Arakwal People of the Bundjalung Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and honour the ongoing connection to Country, culture, and community.

We stand in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and are committed to fostering an inclusive sewing space where Black creators are valued, supported, and respected. We also recognise the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia and are committed to taking meaningful action in support of justice and equality.
