About Us

Accountants write off small mistakes (...and if no one is looking, big mistakes...) as immaterial.

But this is quilting, darn it. If you make a mistake here, it feels very material. We completely understand what you're going through and we're here to help.

We're a boutique pattern shop in LA, operating out of "The Valley". Have you heard that song "Valley Girl", or seen that movie where everyone says the word "like", like, a lot? Yes. That valley. Material Allowance patterns are all about creating adorable designs to help you highlight your awesome & well-selected super-fun fabrics. We take some new twists on some old favorites with our 3D patterns too.

Material Allowance was created by Jes, who started out as a CPA, then worked in commercial real estate. She took a break from it all to learn how to sew, and after that she never looked back (One time she did need to look back real quick, but then after that, she never looked back again for a while.)

Join us, make some fun quilts, and never look back also (except when you need to).
