Weekend Review: Matchy Matchy

The Matchy Matchy Sewing Book / Amy Gonzales & Theresa Kuo

This is a newer sewing book (just published in Dec 2025) and I had a lot of fun going through it. Matchy Matchy Sewing Club is a pattern company that has a very strong aesthetic -- patchwork clothing, lots of volume and airy makes overall. I tested one of their top patterns, the Skipper, a while back, and was looking forward to checking out this book. 

It's a bit short, but even with that, there are 12 new patterns included (9 garments and 3 accessories). Lots of huge, bright photos of all the projects, instructions with illustrations, and a great opening to the book that includes basics of sewing, including terminology and tools, for those brand new to sewing, which may be a lot of their market. I thought it was really well done. 

The patterns can all be found via a QR code in the beginning of the book. If you go to that page, you can download any of the included patterns which interest you. I found 3 of particular interest, even I will likely tone down the patchwork vibe on mine as I'm not a gingham fan and don't have any scraps of it since I don't use it. But these patterns are perfect for scrap busting, as they are designed to be made up of many panels so you can interpret that however you like :) 

This is a sweet book that will likely appeal to many of the young sewists new to the sewing world. It fits in with the youthful style currently popular, and is very accessible for new sewists. I think they did a great job with it.
