Monday, September 29, 2014


Five and Ten Designs is back with a whole new set of designs and this time, it's all about outerwear for girls AND boys!  With the Volume Two ebook, you get the same clear instructions with step by step high resolution photos to guide you through ten completely different outerwear designs, all from the same pattern block.

 1 PATTERN BLOCK 
5 DESIGNERS - 10 PATTERN ALTERATIONS

Five and Ten Designs is a collaboration between five indie sewing designers all of whom love to sew for children. Each look is unique to our styles, yet, connected by the original block pattern.  It's a sewing experience with endless possibilities! 

Origami Oasis by Tamara Kate

Monday, September 22, 2014

It's my pleasure to share what I've made with some of fabrics in Tamara Kate's new collection for Michael Miller, Origami Oasis.  When I had the privilege to view the designs I was completely blown away by the beautiful artistry and the bold colours.  You can read more about Tamara Kate's inspiration here, but we also spent a fun afternoon making origami animals as she did the day she dreamed up these designs.
