About me
Elizabeth Sullivan is a designer based in Montreal, Canada, and co-owner of Sweet Paprika Designs with her sister Debbie. Our yarns are often the inspiration behind my designs and I like to create patterns that are both fun to make and enjoyable to wear. Size inclusivity is very important to us and most of our adult garments are sized to fit at least a 30-60" bust/chest range. A detailed schematic is included on each pattern page (for garments) so you can review it before you buy the pattern.
Most or all of my patterns have the following inclusivity features:
- Size inclusive and/or size-independent
- Charted and written instructions
- Non-gendered
- Languages other than English
