About Angel Lea Designs
The craft of sewing is a pastime which brings a kind of tactile joy that is beautiful in its simplicity.
At Angel Lea Designs, we exist to spread that joy with simple, creative, and fun designs intended for anyone who wants to indulge their artistic nature.
Whether it be to create some handcrafted memories for your children, or an artsy afternoon with friends, or even perhaps to revisit a beloved hobby to get your creative juices flowing.
Creating something from scratch is a humbling and rewarding experience. And our goal is to bring this experience to you through our downloadable, step-by-step patterns that suit sewers of all ages from seasoned professionals to total newcomers.
As a community of creatives, we are supportive, committed, and constantly harness a thoughtful mind to everything we do. And to us at Angel Lea Designs, nothing brings us more joy than to see the stories, and memories that unfold by those who are touched by our work.
About the Founder
Hi there, fellow creatives!
I’m Anthea – owner and designer at Angel Lea Designs. Based in Port Lincoln South Australia, I’m a 
busy mother, pattern designer, sewer and office manager among a few hundred other things!
A love of all things arts and crafts has been my calling for as long as I can remember. Starting from the time I handmade my own Barbie clothes and house furnishings for my dolls as a child, all the way through to using my years of sewing experience to create keepsakes for my own children.
Having always loved how a simple applique embellishment can make an ordinary item extraordinary, I quickly realised that my true passion lay in the design process. Fresh, modern and fun patterns for children’s clothing, soft toys, bags, and just about anything else that takes my fancy! Soon thereafter I started selling my own line of patterns online and so, in 2008, Angel Lea Designs was born.
With ongoing success in popular Australian craft magazines like Homespun and Handmade, Angel Lea Designs has become a community for creatives who value slow crafted, quality, handmade gifts and memories to be enjoyed for the years to come.
It’s very exciting to be able to enjoy a pastime that is limited only by your imagination, and I look forward to seeing what you create with your own Angel Lea design!
