The Sewing Pattern is a paper pattern for making clothes. Reading it teaches one clothing recipe, chosen when the pattern is made.
Each pattern holds a single recipe from a set of tailoring and knitting jobs. The sewing patterns cover garments such as Sew Pants, Sew Shirt, Sew Long Skirt and Sew Long Johns. The knitting patterns cover items such as Knit Scarf, Knit Socks, Knit Beanie and Knit Full Balaclava. Collecting several patterns is the way to build a wide Tailoring repertoire.
Patterns are a common find in tailoring stores, houseware stores and closets.
Uses
Reading the pattern teaches its recipe for good. Only one recipe sits in each pattern. The full set covers Knit Open-Face Balaclava, Knit Full Balaclava, Sew Knee-Length Dress, Sew Knee-Length Skirt, Sew Long Dress, Sew Long Johns Bottom, Sew Long Johns, Sew Long Skirt, Sew Pants, Sew Shirt, Sew Sleeveless Shirt, Knit Beanie, Knit Wool Hat, Knit Legwarmers, Knit Scarf, Knit Socks and Knit Sweater Vest.
These recipes let a survivor make fresh clothing instead of patching worn pieces. Knitted items such as socks, scarves and wool hats help against the cold. Sewn trousers and shirts replace clothing torn by bites and scratches.
A pattern that teaches an already known recipe still has a use. It burns in a fire for a few minutes.
Locations
Sewing Patterns are common. Tailoring stores stock them on clothing racks, counters and shelves, with a high chance per container. Houseware store shelves are just as likely. Crates and other containers in closets hold them very often. Bedroom crates and department storage shelves are good second choices. General stores, kitchenware shops and Gigamart shelves have them less often. Attics, halls, living rooms and storage units turn one up now and then.

Notes

- Tailoring stores and closets are the best places to build a full set.
- A spare pattern can be burned as quick fuel.
- Knitting patterns lead to warm winter clothing.
