It’s the last week of August, which means that I’m feeling both sad and happy. Sad that summer is over and we’re back at work after a very fun and relaxing vacation and because school is about to start again. But happy that it’s finally time to introduce you to our newest collection of patterns!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Fall
\nThis season we have something for everyone. A new pattern for boys (I know!), a fantastic classic dress for special occasions, and a sporty dress or tunic for everyday wear.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Field Trip Cargo Pants and Raglan T-Shirt Pattern<\/strong><\/p>\n

First off, a pattern for the boys! Need I say more?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Field<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The cargo pants are fun to sew and include lots of great little details like front and back pockets, three-dimensional cargo pockets at the side seams, a waistband facing, belt loops, a faux fly, and\u00a0articulated knees. (If you’re not familiar with this strange word “articulated,” it\u00a0\u00a0means that they have a little shaping for easy movement which is oh-s0-important for active kids.)<\/p>\n

The raglan t-shirt is simple, classic, and clean. We’ve included a chest pocket, just because we thought it looked great and because we have a pocket theme going on with this pattern. I love raglan t-shirts because I think the contrast color at the sleeves and neck looks great, and this raglan T is really quick and easy to sew. I’ll show you later how this pattern is also great for the girls.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fairy Tale Dress<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next up is our super fancy dress, the Fairy Tale Dress. I’ve been meaning to develop this pattern for a while now. It’s a full-fledged, knock-your-socks off dress designed specifically for special occasions but also completely appropriate for everyday.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Fairy<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The pattern includes two views: a sleeveless version (pictured here) with a big bow at the back and a tulip-sleeve version with a delicate waistband and bow detail. Both versions are fully lined, include an invisible zipper, and even have a crinoline skirt to help give a little extra fullness. (Of course, you can eliminate the crinoline if you’re making this dress for everyday use.) This is a very fitted style, much more so than our other patterns, so we recommend that you measure carefully and make a bodice muslin when sewing this pattern. It may be a little extra work, but you’ll love the results!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Book Report Dress<\/strong><\/p>\n

And finally the Book Report Dress. It’s great not just for the days when you need to stand up in front of the class to make a presentation, but also for pretty much any other occasion, special or everyday, as well.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Book<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My favorite detail on this pattern is the two pockets hidden at the waist seam, but it’s got lots of other great details, too: two gentle pleats at the neckline, buttons at the shoulders, a classic tailored pleat at the back yoke, long sleeves with a simple cuff, and a shirt-tail hem. This dress can also be worn as a tunic with leggings or pants underneath. I’m kind of wanting this in my size, much as I hate to admit it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ll introduce you to each style in greater detail over the course of this week, staring tomorrow with the cargo pants and raglan t-shirt. The patterns are already printed and on their way to our warehouse. We expect to have them ready to sell here on our website early next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
