I’ve been working behind the scenes on a little pattern collection! (If you follow on facebook, you may have seen a sneak peek!) This is my first line of clothing patterns, I’m really excited about it! Of all the things I love about sewing, I feel most like myself designing with a roll of pattern paper and a pencil.
This little collection is inspired by my winter baby (girl!), hot cocoa, and wintery winter things! Aren’t you excited for all of that? Maybe because I designed it in the hottest, longest summer of my life, which just barely ended two weeks ago?? I named all the pieces after some of the best skiing destinations in the world (or so I hear, I’ve only been to one).
A dress, a coat and a top, all the winter essentials! I wanted a cozy collection with a little frill for the approaching holiday season. These were really fun to make!
