Well, hi there! We’re back from Houston, and I have photos to share.<\/p>\n

We debuted two new patterns at Quilt Market this fall. Both will be ready in March, and I’m really excited about them.<\/p>\n

The first one, the Sailboat Top, Pants and Skirt is great for boys and girls.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\"\"<\/a> The top includes buttons at the shoulders and a shirt-tail hem, both with curved topstitching that looks great in a contrast or coordinating color. This shirt could be sewn from a woven or a knit, and it’s incredibly easy and fast to make. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
<\/a>
\"\"<\/a>
<\/a>The cropped pants and skirt both have classic sailor button-front features as well as elastic at the back waistband for a comfortable fit. They’re also very easy and quick to sew.<\/p>\n

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

The second pattern is the Birthday Party Dress, which features three pleats at the center front panel. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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

\"\"<\/a>
The little assymetrical button tab in the front can also be sewn as a big bow, which offers lots of design opportunity for a contrast fabric or a favorite ribbon. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Both patterns will be available in two size ranges: 6 months through 3T and sizes 4 through 8. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
