Macphee Workshop

General information

MacPhee Workshop is . . . Patterns

The best way to get a perfect pattern is to design it, and that is exactly what we do at MacPhee Workshop. We design simple, classic styles that are easy to fit, and fun to embellish and color block. Each pattern, or book, is designed & published by MacPhee Workshop and marketed across the continent. Each pattern is multi-sized and many are unisex. And, the best thing about MacPhee Workshop Patterns is that there are over 150 styles to choose from! Need help with a pattern? Get one of our five videos to help and inspire you. We also stock a wide variety of fabrics, and best of all are our kits that combine both the pattern and the necessary fabric.

MacPhee Workshop is . . . One-of-a-Kind!

Yes, we are truly unique in that we produce 'one-of-a-kind' garments. In fact, MacPhee Workshop produces two complete clothing collections each year - Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter. Each collection is shown at sewing shows & special showings across the continent. These fashion shows have been the feature event at conventions, and have been the draw for numerous charity fundraisers, as well. Sewers & non-sewers alike enjoy our fashion show experience because the voice of the show, Linda MacPhee, makes it so entertaining. Also, since we have seamstresses who custom-sew our classic garments, you don't have to sew to own a MacPhee Original. We sell our finished garments.

MacPhee Workshop is . . .Spectacular Fashion Shows!

The two MacPhee Workshop Signature Collections (spring/summer & fall/winter) are toured across the continent by Linda MacPhee, herself. Keep in touch with the store nearest you to find out dates and times of showings. Remember - everyone deserves to wear a MacPhee Original - whether you choose to sew your own, purchase your favorite from the show, or have it custom-made by one of our fashion experts. Come to the shows and get inspired!
