We've been having a blast with our Lush Laminates... coming up with projects left and right. First, it was the Paige rain slicker, then it was the Sun & Surf Tote (what a perfect beach bag this is!). Last week Emalee whipped up a few kid-sized umbrellas and they turned out SO CUTE that I asked her to write down the instructions for you guys. Just check these out!
The weather cooperated with us yesterday and we were able to capture some sweet outdoor images...
Sydney loves her new umbrella!
She can't decide which one's her favorite...
Sydney is wearing her new Gretchen dress. And if you're thinking "Hmmmm... the fabric on that dress looks vaguely familiar, but a little different", you have a keen eye for sure! The next time I pop up here on the blog I will give you the full reveal, but if you are as impatient as I am and just have to, have to know right now... well, then you can click here and see for yourself. :)
And, since I'm feeling mighty happy right now, how about a little giveaway? Leave me a comment and I will draw a winner for one of these adorable umbrellas. Winner will be randomly chosen next Wednesday, March 14th. Please leave us a way to contact you if you win... a clickable link on your name is sufficient.
Want to make one of these beauties for yourself? Click HERE to download the free tutorial.
P.S. We've just re-ordered more books (the first batch flew outta here pretty fast), so if you are still wanting a signed copy, your wish is my command!
OMG! Andalucia has always been my fave line, so this is totally awesome! Gorgeous prints in new colors, how much better can it get?! Yippee!

DeleteSo very cute! Both my girls need new umbrellas, and I've been dying to try my hand at sewing with laminates. Thanks for the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteThe umbrellas look awesome!! Will have to try but I'm kind of busy doing all the projects in your book!! Love it and will have to hide it from my 7 year old or I'll never get out of the sewing room.
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable (I'd keep it for myself!).
ReplyDeleteWow! My daughter destroyed her umbrella the other day. As I was throwing it away, I was wondering if there was a way to make my own umbrella. Thank you, Emalee. Patty, I LOVE your stuff always. I love the new Lush collection and the soon to come updated Andalucia. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteSince our method from staying dry in the rain is put the hood up and RUN . . . a new umbrella would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteI haven't checked out the instructions yet, but I would love to have one of these for my little one. Love the dress too!
ReplyDeleteHi, I am so excited to find new laminate prints!! These are fabulous!! I was actually wondering if your interlock knits are being discontinued. I make blankets out of them, and one by one I am finding that the Michael Miller - Patty Young interlock knits are disappearing and I'm so bummed!! Will new prints be coming out???
ReplyDeleteWow! LOVE the umbrellas! I'm bookmarking those instructions right now! j-j-s AT juno DOT com
ReplyDeleteI am truly loving these new laminate prints. I have been kind of scared to use them. But have finally decided to use them. Hope I win. Tks
ReplyDeleteLovely umbrellas! they will turn a dark rainy day into a nice one! I'll try to make one for sure, even if i won :) , like Sydney , I can't decide which one is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteoh ! and congrats on your new book! can't wait to get my copy next month, it will be released in Japan on March 20th!
The umbrella idea is adorable! I have 2 granddaughters who would love this - as if I do not have enough projects to start / finish! :-)
ReplyDeleteClaudia >^..^<
Those umbrellas are to die for. I would love to use it as a prop for one of my photo shoots. It is also perfect weather here to use it all the time.

ReplyDeleteHi Patty! I haven't met you but I am a fellow FOX Creek MOM. I heard about your patterns and fabric through Valerie, the store owner of SEW MUCH MORE! I have become a fan of your work! Would love to get my hands on one of your modkids books, oh and a signed copy would be even better! Thanks for the happy giveaway! My daughter would be a hit with a snazzy new umbrella on her first day of Kindergarten at FOX CREEK!
