If you follow me on Twitter you know that I've been tap, tap, tapping my fingers, twiddling my thumbs and biding my time all this week waiting for the sample yardage of my brand new fabric collection to arrive at my doorstep. Just found out it won't be here today either, so to keep myself from going absolutely nuts, I decided to blog. I figured you wouldn't mind a few sneak peeks...
One of my sweet pattern testers, Anna Garner, from Sweet Dreams Designs, has been sending me test shots of some of my new sewing patterns this week. I love working with Anna because she is fast, thorough and honest (all great qualities to have in a pattern tester, believe me!) Oh, and she just happens to work with some of the best model/photographer teams in the industry, so I always look forward to receiving her photo galleries.
Here's a couple she sent me of my ISABEL pattern. These two photos are courtesy of April of Once in Every Life Photography, www.onceineverylifephotography.com. How cute are these girls? I also love how these photos show that the pattern is perfect for warmer climates, worn on its own, and for cooler climates, layered over stuff (her idea, not mine!) :)
And here is a little sneak of the testing she did for my AVA pattern. This photo is courtesy of Heidi Baird of Elite Event Images, emmasaxton@gmail.com. I just adore it!
These and many more will be making it into the booklet pages of my new patterns, debuting this Fall. Stay tuned!
OK, all this talk of fabric has left me wanting to show you a little sneak peek, so here it is:
This is my largest collection yet... 44 total designs divided into 4 glorious color stories boasting all sorts of winged creatures, colorful flowers and yes, dots, dots, dots! As soon as my fabric gets here and I have the time to shoot it in all it's glory I will do a full reveal, so please keep checking!!
OMG - wow I can't believe you have another gorgeous collection already coming out! IT is so pretty.. I just love everything I'm seeing in that tiny image.
ReplyDeleteWhen does it come to us? tee hee
OH MY! You're killing me here. The patterns look fabulous and that new line of yours looks freaking AMAZING! I just want to see more, more, more!!!! :) :) :)

Congratulations, your patterns are adorable, cute little girls and your new fabrics are gorgeous. What I couldn't do with a layered cake or charm pack.
ReplyDeleteThese look fabulous! I can just here my 2 year old going nuts for the one with bees in it. "Bee, bee, bee". I love them all though
ReplyDeleteOh Patty, all of your collections have been beautiful but I really can't wait for this one. Just stunning. Good luck with your market prep!
ReplyDeletePatty,
ReplyDeleteAre you sure Flora and Fauna are fabric? It really looks like Candy to me. ;-)
P,
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! The patterns & photos are lovely, of course, and I'm looking forward to making some sweet things for my DD with them. But the new line?!? I think my heart skipped a beat! I can't WAIT to get Flora & Fauna! Simply GORGEOUS!
I just read your interview on True Up and just wanted to say thank you for sharing so much of what you do! It's inspirational and fun to see where you get your ideas. I knew I liked the Mezzanine line for a reason - I spent a year and a half in France and Belgium and loved all of it! Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteI love love love it! Somehow I am not surprised though - can't wait to get my mitts on it!
ReplyDeleteKaren
So pretty Patty!! The colors are wonderful, can't wait to see them in person :) The new patterns are fun too! Such good things to look forward to!

ReplyDeletebirds & dots... you know how to make a girl happy!!! as for the patterns.. cute & cuter!! i like the layering & seeing the pattern in different sizes.. its hard with kids stuff sometimes to picture something in 2T & 5/6 at the same time!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so friggin talented!!!
