Trusted Heritage
A much-loved British brand inspiring makers since 1968.
Clothkits
The Clothkits Collection is rooted in a rich sewing heritage that stretches back to 1968. Founded by designer Anne Kennedy, Clothkits began with a wonderfully simple but revolutionary idea: printing dressmaking pattern pieces directly onto fabric. This clever approach made sewing far more accessible, allowing makers of all ages and abilities to create their own clothes with confidence. Anne’s original designs quickly became beloved for their creativity, practicality and distinctive style, establishing Clothkits as a trusted name in British dressmaking.
Today, that same spirit continues to guide everything we do. Drawing on decades of experience in sewing, pattern design and fabric selection, the Clothkits Collection celebrates both the brand’s iconic archive and a new generation of thoughtfully designed projects. Some designs revive well-loved classics from the original Clothkits catalogue, while others are newly developed to suit contemporary wardrobes and modern sewing techniques.
Each Clothkits kit is carefully created by our team of sewing experts, combining high-quality fabrics with clear, well-tested instructions and precisely printed pattern pieces. The aim remains exactly as it was over fifty years ago: to make sewing enjoyable, achievable and rewarding for makers of all experience levels. Whether you remember the original Clothkits from years gone by or are discovering them for the first time, these heritage sewing kits offer a satisfying and creative way to make garments that are truly your own.
