Have an appetite for new patterns?
Well I hope you do because I have a real banquet for the sewing-hungry!
Quilting and sewing are my life's true passions (probably yours too!). But let's face it; it can be quite hard sometimes when you just begin! I think about myself when I was a teenager going crazy looking at the patterns, trying to follow step by step, a needle here, some thread there, the piping, the lining, the stitching, the interfacing… ("what the heck does BASTING mean??")
So as you can see, I can totally relate to all of you that are just stepping into this marvelous world of sewing, and to those who, between the job, the kids, the house and many others, just don't have the time for complicated, puzzle-looking instructions for complex projects. Soooo… to all of you that are looking for an "express" way to make beautiful things, I bring you my MINI-QUILT and MINI- SEWING PATTERNS!!
These are simpler, easier-to-make projects but with the same clear, detailed instructions as the original patterns, that'll have you becoming a sewing expert in no time!
Let me introduce you to my first MINI-SEWING PATTERN… ladies and gentlemen… here's THE MAUI BAG!
When I first made this bag, I knew it HAD to become a pattern. It really captures that warm spring-summery feeling we all love; so girly and sophisticated, yet so useful and oh-so simple to make!
It's spacious enough to carry to the beach with all the necessary gear; towel, magazine, sunglasses, sunblock, even a fresh snack… Or you can take it with you to run the daily-basis errands around town, I'm sure you will turn some heads!
Does it look intimidating to make? Sure not! It's just as simple as it is beautiful! And in case you find it a little challenging, the accordion- folded pattern will explain everything step by step with clear-as-water graphics and instructions so you can strut your stuff with your new Maui bag all summer long!
And now give it up for my MINI- QUILT PATTERN: THE CHIC THROW.
This is not your typical throw; the innovative design with the twisted knots and the quilted (yes, quilted!) squares, make this throw one truly cutting-edge accessory.
Add on these lively, contrasting yet harmonious fabrics to the mix and make a throw that not only keeps your feet warm but keeps your house super stylish!
What better way to bring some color and originality into your home? It also sounds like a good way to introduce yourself to quilting…it has some quilting technique into it but it's not one of those big scary ones! So why don't you give it a try? I have no doubt you will amaze yourself (and loved ones!) when you discover the gorgeous results!
I'm super excited and proud of these patterns, I hope you have the most fun with them!
I'll be launching these at Market, so they will available at your local store & online around June… can't wait!
So don't be shy and drop me a line telling me what you think… do they look tempting?
More MINI-PATTERNS coming soon… so stay tuned!
Love,
Pat.
