Introducing Family Comforts

Welcome to Family Comforts

Thoughtfully designed sewing patterns, beautifully handcrafted pieces, and meaningful keepsakes made to last.

Whether you love to sew, are looking for something ready-made, or want to preserve a precious memory, you’re very welcome here.
Let us guide you to the right place.

🧵 Love to sew?

Sewing patterns designed to be a pleasure to make.

If you enjoy sewing and creating beautiful pieces for your home or as gifts, you’ll find a carefully curated collection of sewing patterns at Family Comforts. Each pattern is thoughtfully designed, clearly written, and supported with step-by-step instructions, full-size templates, and clear construction guidance — so you can sew with confidence and enjoy the process as much as the finished piece.

And if you ever need a little help along the way, you’ll always have support from Family Comforts if you get stuck.

From bags to home furnishings, these are PDF and paper sewing patterns created to be used, enjoyed, and returned to time and again.

👜 Looking for something ready-made?

Handmade bags and one-of-a-kind pieces from the Bag Atelier.

If you’d prefer something beautifully made and ready to enjoy, our Bag Atelier showcases a small collection of handmade bags and sewn pieces, crafted with care, attention to detail, and quality materials.

Every piece in the Bag Atelier is bespoke and one of a kind, never to be exactly repeated. This makes each item an ideal special gift, or a truly individual piece to enjoy for yourself.

🧸 Preserving a memory?

Memory bears and bespoke keepsake commissions.

Family Comforts is best known for creating unique memory bears and keepsake animals made from cherished clothing and textiles. Alongside these, we also offer bespoke keepsake commissions, including memory quilts, cushions, bags, and other sewn items, all created using your own meaningful fabrics.

Whether you’re marking a milestone, honouring a loved one, or preserving a special chapter of life, each commission is individually designed in consultation with you, resulting in a keepsake that feels personal, considered, and lasting.
