Frankly disappointed in the pattern quality. I ordered a pattern in the vogue series and I don't think it was tested by a human - missing markings where there should be symmetry and the collar band appears to have been designed entirely upside down and does not fit the neckline.

Agree with another user: their PDF patterns are crap. I ordered a Diane von Furstenberg one and it was a mess. I made the mistake of then ordering another PDF pattern: M6044 (Men's button-up). They don't even offer it in A0 sizing! When I "assembled" the pattern digitally (I refuse to tape 50-some pieces together by hand!) I saw that every pattern piece at the edge of the assembled sheet was cut off. I emailed customer service and they said there's no problem with the pattern. I emailed them back with screenshots and now they are ignoring me. I assure you I am tech-savvy enough to have assembled it properly. They just don't care. This is why I support indie pattern makers!

Stay away from Simplicity Pattern PDFs. I'm glad I decided to start with one and not order several at one time. I've worked with several PDF patterns, so I was expecting instructions on how to put together the PDF. Simplicity leaves you to figure it out. I received 2 different A4 patterns with the same size. I can't figure out why there are 2. I printed the 1st one (59 pages). I tried to make sense of it and could not, so I printed the second (also a huge amount of pages) still didn't make sense. I waisted time, paper and was charged additional fees from HP ink because I went over my limit. A huge waist of time and expenses.

Order placed day after Christmas '25. 5 patterns plus $8 shppg. 13 days to get to me. Paper envelope tab ruined, so the entire package was opened. 2 patterns damp and everything smelled musty and moldy. Emailed and called CS. No one responded or replied. $38+ ripoff.

Love not having to go to the store to pick out patterns, went to simplicity com and poof there it was, very reasonable price and exactly what I wanted it took about a week, but I am in to hurry thank you for offering these patterns

The dog ate the cross stitch pattern I've been working on for years. I sent simplicity a quick email in the hope that they'd be able to send me a copy of the pattern. Within an hour I'd received a pdf of the pattern. Fantastic service.

I started ordering sewing patterns from their website, when I found out that they stopped selling them in Canadian stores. At first, it was OK. Everything was within reasonable limits. Then, I made a somewhat big order of at least 10 patterns, I found the shipping cost to be a bit high. When I received my package, I found out why: it came in a big box that was only *half* filled with the patterns, the other half was filled with brown papers. I was really concerned by such a waste of space, when they should have shipped in a smaller box or envelope, and took on to write to Simplicity about it. I sent them e-mails, they never acknownledged them. Them, I took on to voice my concerns publicly on their social medias, still no answers from them. It was frustrating. In the end, I decided to get my Simplicity patterns from other online sellers. Since, I don’t want to do business with a service that doesn’t seem to take their customers seriously. One last thing: Their website is a real mess and, half of the time, I get redirected to an 500 error page. They need to get it fixed.
