Happy New Year’s mermaids! It’s hard to believe we’re starting 2020. It was a busy year for Made for Mermaids – we released 60 patterns (not including freebies!), brought on two new members, grew our Facebook community, hosted five new sew-a-longs, added some new gorgeous faces to our tester pool, added three new sizes to our women’s patterns beginning with the Nevaeh release in October, began including metric measurements AND imperial measurements in our patterns, and more! Thank you for sharing your year with us.

May 2020 bring you more uninterrupted sewing time, the confidence to tackle a new sewing skill or two, and endless wins at thread chicken. 😉 Cheers, mermaids!

Want to take a look back over the year? See all our releases and blog posts below! Want to check out our recaps from previous years? You can check out  2018, 2017, and 2016 too.

This year’s top 10 selling patterns were: Gable, Lana Bra, Greta Thong, Women’s Naomi, Naomi, Sleepy Slippers, 90’s socks, Women’s Sierra, Women’s Penelope and Women’s Deanna Dolman.
