Enter the #SewnWithBig4 challenge and WIN!

Big 4 paper patterns are back in stock now at Minerva, including brand-new 2026 releases. To celebrate, we're shining the spotlight on Big 4 makes in our June sewing challenge.

Introducing the #SewnWithBig4 challenge

All this month we would love you to share your favourite projects you've sewn up in patterns from Simplicity, McCall's, New Lool, Butterick, Vogue, Know Me and Burda. These could be brand-new makes that are hot off the sewing machine, or favourite makes you've sewn over the years. Maybe they're even garments you've made from vintage Big 4 patterns. Whatever you've made, we would love to see them.

Even if you've never sewn with a Big 4 pattern, you can still join in -just share a pattern you would like to sew and tell us what fabric you'd like to pair it with.

5 lucky winners who enter our challenge will each win their pick of 3 Big 4 patterns plus a £50 Minerva Gift Card to help pick out what they need to start sewing them up. You can enter as many times as you like with different projects between now and the closing date of Tuesday 30th June.
