NMSL Pattern Sites

The pattern sites listed here have no affiliation with the Nursing Mothers'  Sewing List.   It is possible that some list members own or work for a business in this listing,  but the list owners of NMSL show no preference towards these businesses.

Most of these businesses are based in the United States and many of these offer international shipping or have international offices.   Companies with bases/distributors in other countries will be noted if known.   Most,  if not all,  of the big pattern makers have distributors outside the United States.

We are always eager for your submissions of further on-line sources of nursing,  nursing-convertible,  and children's patterns. Note:   specific pattern numbers listed below may not be available for viewing on-line.
