This one's been in the hopper for awhile but I really wanted to put it out there before summer. And since it's supposed to reach 100 degrees here this week (whimper) I figured it was time. So here's my latest pattern...The Jemima Party Dress! I picked the name Jemima because Joey would never let me name one of the girls Jemima (after the girl in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) since we were using strictly Italian names with them. Anyhoo, it will only be made available in PDF format and includes sizes 18 months up to 6 years. Just print the pattern pieces out and tape them together (very detailed diagram included for those of you who have never used a pattern this way)!
Here are the dresses I made for a friends flower girls and they were so darling on the girls that I knew it had to become a pattern. I used raw edges on the ruffles and bows with these, which was absolutely darling (and fast!) but they can also be finished with a zig zag or serged stitch if you want a more finished look.
The first 20 patterns sold will include a free pdf pattern (from one of my previous 4, just leave a message with your choice while checking out).
I'm looking forward to offering a lot more pdf patterns since they are so popular and I can get them out in between printings of my paper patterns. It's a quicker way for me to download all the ideas that go through my mind. One more week until Quilt Market!!
