A Brand New Look!

Welcome to my brand new site!!  I hope that you like the new look.  It was a lot of work but I just love the way the pictures are so much easier to see.  Take a minute and look around…the pattern shop is also so much easier to maneuver around.  I have LOTS of new things to show you!

First up…a brand new pattern:  Nantucket Girl!

This dress was made by an amazing pattern tester of mine, Angela Norton.  Ellie and I were totally in love with it!  The fabric is a navy and white twill from Fabric Finders.  The fabric is a wonderful weight…not too heavy for pleating or smocking either.


I just love the smocking with the red ribbon woven through it!

Didn’t she do an incredible job!?

The back neckline and collar dips down in a “V”  with covered buttons and tied with a pretty sash.

I hope you like this new pattern as much as we had fun photographing it!  It is available NOW for purchase too!  Just click on the picture below to order at a special price!  It is on sale for this week only for 6.95 for e-patterns and 9.95 for paper patterns!

 

I’m also giving away TWO of these patterns!  Comment below for your chance to win!   I will draw the winner on Friday, July 6th at midnight!

I’ll be showing you a non-smocked version of this dress in the next couple of days too!

Today was the first time I’ve seen your post with this dress, and a giveaway. I follow you on FB, but your blog doesn’t show up in GFC. I guess because it’s a separate domain.
This dress is beautiful! One of the prettiest styles I’ve seen for summer.

Oh, I am SO GLAD you shared the shirred version! I don’t know how to smock, even though I think it looks stunning. So I was ready to pass on this pattern until you showed us how darling it looks shirred, too!
