The Pattern Paper is showcasing amazing talent from around the world…Get inspired by discovering over 40 patterns from over 40 artists who took part in the Summer ‘22 edition of the Pattern Challenge on Instagram, created and hosted by Melanie Johnsson.

♥ We’re raising money for Surfers Against Sewage. Surfers Against Sewage is a grassroots environmental charity that campaigns to protect the ocean and all it makes possible. It was created in 1990 by a group of Cornish surfers, fighting to clean up the sea that was making them sick. Now, Surfers Against Sewage campaigns on all that threatens the ocean - plastic pollution, the climate emergency, industrial exploitation and water quality, by taking action on the ground that triggers change from the top. ♥

COLOUR • JOY • COMMUNITY • INSPIRATION • CREATIVITY

Details about the Pattern Paper: Printed in the UK. Pre-orders only means no overprinting = no waste. Why a newspaper? It’s fun, easy to recycle and my favourite part: you can reuse it for arts and crafts! (All those patterns will inspire you for sure).

Do you ship to my country? Yes! If you can’t find your country in the shipping list, get in touch with me (Unfortunately, I’m unable to ship to South Africa at this time. I’ve had a lot of issues with it and nothing I've sent there has actually ever arrived so that’s on pause. Sorry!)

Shipping cost explained: The Pattern Paper is a bit bigger than A4 when folded, which means it only fits in an C3 envelope…which makes it a small parcel (and not a large letter) hence the “expensive” shipping fee compared to the rest of my stuff, which usually fits in a C4 envelope.

When will I get my Pattern Paper? Pre-orders are open for two weeks only until 24/10. The Pattern Papers will be sent to print on 25/10 and sent out in the mail the w/c 7/11 or before.
