Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope you’re all having a great day so far. If you didn’t see yesterday’s post, we are giving away our Petite Plume FQ Bundle on our Facebook Page this week. Head on over there to let us know which of our Summer 2014 Collections is your favorite, so a chance to win Petite Plume.

Time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! Today we are taking the time to thank one of our wonderful project designers, Jen of Tie Dye Diva! Jen didn’t start off her career path in the sewing patterns world, but has always had a love for crafting and sewing. Jen was working a 12-hour desk job before realizing she wanted to do something of her true passion. In 2007, she started to create downloadable sewing patterns that were easy-to-follow and fun…and she was able to turn her passion into a business!

Jen is now a designer of sewing patterns, focusing on classing clothing designs for babies and kids. There is also a good mix in difficulty level, from patterns for a beginner sewer to an advanced seamstress. Jen has a wonderful library of sewing patterns, from adorable little girl dresses, to little boy pants, to cute plushies, and more. Her patterns have also been featured in several publications, such as Sewn Hats by Carla Hegeman Crim and Stash Books’ Hat Shop: 25 Projects to Sew, from Practical to Fascinating (Design Collective) , compiled by Susanne Woods, and is a workshop instructor at Craftsy.

Jen’s sewing patterns can be found on her Etsy Shop, as well as on her website.We got into contact with Jen after Spring Quilt Market, and had the absolute pleasure of partnering with her on a sewing pattern project. I LOVE ruffles and bows, so Jen created the most *adorable* Tunic Dress and Bloomers Play Set…featuring, yes you guessed it, ruffles AND bows. LOVE!! They are the absolute cutest things ever, and look even more sweet with our Petite Plume Collection. We are so in love with this play set! How adorable would a little tot look in this? *Swoon*

You can get the full patterns for our Teeny Tiny Play Set HERE and HERE. This pattern is available as a free project from our Free Projects Program. We want to say a HUGE thank you to Jen for the incredible partnership, and of course for the sweetest of play sets! We cannot wait for what’s to come in the near future, so stay tuned! Be sure to check out Jen’s sewing patterns on her Etsy Shop and website, as well as her Facebook, Twitter, blog, and Craftsy Pages. Have a wonderful day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Wednesday! We hope you are all having a whale of a day…haha. Our {somewhat} cheesy pun is brought you today by our latest How To’s Day! If you hadn’t seen yesterday’s post, we shared a tutorial for our Wallace the Whale plush. He is the absolute sweetest whale, and is looking pretty dashing in our Design Studio Collection. You can find the full, free tutorial HERE.

It’s also time for another Winsday! YAY! This week, we are giving away our Petite Plume FQ Bundle on our Facebook Page.

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday!! YAY for it being almost the weekend! We have been busy launching our Summer 2014 Collections this week, and we hope you have been liking them!! We would love to know which is your favorite. As well, we are hosting our Facebook Licensed Fabrics Giveaway this week; be sure to enter to win 5 yards of some of our favorite licensed fabrics :)

It’s time for this week’s Fan Friday!! Today we are featuring a really awesome and cool Etsy Shop, The Apron Addict, that sells stunning aprons…and other little gems. Susan Dewolf, owner and designer for The Apron Addict, had been a teacher for over 30 years but has always had a love for fabric & sewing. She decided to follow her passion and do something that she loved – she started The Apron Addict, and it has only expanded in popularity since its open in 2007. Susan creates several different apron designs, all of which are very beautiful and functional. She also makes aprons for kids – so cute!! Susan chooses fabrics that are modern and bright, which makes all of her aprons stylish and fun to wear. These aprons are great for baking or cooking, or for holding all your crafting tools. We absolutely love the bow detailing, so feminine and girly!!

Susan chose our Petite Plume by Andrea Turk for Cinnamon Joe Studio Collection and we love the orange & yellow pops – it makes for such a beautiful and elegant apron. No longer are the days for drab and boring aprons; The Apron Addict has the perfect apron for you…and once you get one, you might just get addicted and want one in every design and color ;)

Be sure to check out The Apron Addict for all of Susan’s beautiful apron design, as well as check her out on Facebook. We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Fan Friday. Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!! :)

Happy Sewing!
