My Next Make started as a small project, the kernel of a dream that I had to create online tools and community spaces for garment sewists. Quietly in the background, while maintaining this site, I've been working on an expansion, which is finally ready!
The Seam Rippers Club started with the pattern database and search functionality that you know and love from My Next Make. I've added tools to:

The free tier gets you access to the patterns (which will remain public and free always), forum, and a small number of projects and saved collection items. Then sign up for a small annual subscription fee to get unlimited access to the whole system, including any new features we add.
I'm a sewist, just like you. I love to make clothes and accessories for myself, my family, and my friends' kids. I especially love supporting new pattern designers.
Sometimes I have a picture in my head of a garment type that I want to make, and I have a hard time finding just the right pattern online. So I started compiling this list of patterns, arranged by styles and garment types. This way, I don't have to hope a generic search engine understands me, or browse every designer's page separately. Now I'm sharing the list with everyone, and keeping it up to date with the latest patterns from many indie designers.
I hope you find some inspiration, discover new patterns, and fall in love with new-to-you designers while browsing this site.
Please let me know if you see any errors, have any suggestions for additions, or just want to geek out about sewing stuff! You can reach me at jennifer@code402.com. And I often share my makes on the Spool and Spindle blog or the Seam Rippers Club Instagram.
