What Kinds of Sewing Patterns Does The Green Pepper Offer?

Updated

The Green Pepper sells sewing patterns for making your own outdoor clothing and gear, organized into four main collections: Patterns for Adults (78 products), Patterns for Kids (27 products), Hats, Footwear, & Gloves (23 products), and Packs, Bags, & Misc. (42 products). The site states that patterns are available for all skill levels, so you can choose a project based on the item you want to make rather than searching for a beginner- or advanced-specific section.

The Four Pattern Collections

Collection Product count What it covers
Patterns for Adults 78 Jackets, vests, pullovers, ponchos, bags, and more sized for adults
Patterns for Kids 27 Kids' versions of the same outdoor styles, such as the Kid's Polar Pullover & Vest
Hats, Footwear, & Gloves 23 Headwear, footwear, and handwear, including the Glov-itts or Finger-Free Gloves pattern
Packs, Bags, & Misc. 42 Backpacks, duffels, totes, messenger bags, waist packs, and similar gear

  • Jackets and pullovers: Adult's Skyline Jacket ($9.00), Adult's Frenchglen Barn Jacket ($9.00), Adult's Polar Pullover & Vest ($9.00), Adult Mount Hood Polar Hoodie ($9.00)

These are described as styled for comfort, function, fashion, and ease of construction, and the fall edit is aimed at cooler-weather activities like hiking, biking, and football games.

Examples of Bag and Gear Patterns

The packs and bags collection covers projects beyond clothing:

  • Day packs and rucksacks: Day Pack ($7.00), Pioneer Rucksack ($8.00)
  • Duffels and totes: Duffel or Gym Bag ($7.00), Rugged Tote & Portfolio ($8.00)
  • Carry styles: Oregon Trail Messenger Bag ($9.00), Village Courier Bag ($8.00), Traveler's Contour Waist Pack ($7.00), Round Cargo Bag ($7.00), String Bag ($8.00)

How the Patterns Are Organized

Patterns are grouped by collection (adults, kids, hats/footwear/gloves, packs/bags) and highlighted through seasonal featured collections, such as the fall patterns edit. Each product listing shows a pattern number, name, and price, for example "512 – Adult's Polar Pullover & Vest $9.00." The site also sells fabrics, hardware, zippers, and notions intended to complement its patterns, so you can source materials for a project in the same place.

Choosing a Pattern

If you want to make a garment, start with the Adults or Kids collection and pick the item type you need (jacket, vest, pullover, poncho). If your project is gear rather than clothing, the Packs, Bags, & Misc. collection is the direct route. For accessories, check Hats, Footwear, & Gloves. Because the site says patterns suit all skill levels but does not label individual listings by difficulty, compare the construction described in each pattern's product page before buying. Prices shown range from about $7.00 to $12.00 for the featured patterns, and questions can be sent to [email protected].
