Love
these! I am really drawn to the minis already available in my LQS
because of the price. I would love to see more clothing for women/girls,
purses, and especially more quilts. Thank you for coming out with
these!
CONGRATS, Kelly! Please email us with your mailing address at info AT modkidboutique DOT com to claim your prize!
super cute! love the mini's - easy to take with - I ate trying to remember fabric requirements. i like to sew for my girls and i want to sew more for myself so I'd think those are a good area to expand into. I've never used a modkid pattern before - even though I love them
ReplyDeleteThe format looks wonderful. It seems especially well suited for things like skirts or bags - things that wouldn't ordinarily be quite enough for a full sized pattern but are great for smaller projects. Love the wrap skirt! More for women, please!

super cute! Love it and I think I'm going to have to order some really soon :))
ReplyDeleteI would love to see some more items for boys as those are harder to come by in general - what about a nice blazer? I can't seem to find one anywhere - or let me rephrase it - I can't seem to find one with good quality instructions. I love Modkid patterns - the style is great and the instructions are so professional - very easy to follow. Keep them coming, Patty :)
Another slam dunk for the MODKID team. What a great concept and great price. I'm sure I'll be seeing these everywhere from now on. Love, love, love the quilt... so fun! I want to make each and every one of these projects. Would love to see some for girls too! :)

These are great! REALLY excited about the wrap skirt! So cute!!
ReplyDeleteLove these! I am really drawn to the minis already available in my LQS because of the price. I would love to see more clothing for women/girls, purses, and especially more quilts. Thank you for coming out with these!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I would like to see a wallet pattern!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I've been looking for a good lunch bag pattern. Now I've found it.
ReplyDeleteLove the small size and the variety of projects~ including the boys! I would love a wallet pattern and maybe some kitchen stuff~ like potholders or dishtowels?
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! So practical where pieces can be given as sizes of rectangles & squares! I actually use the measurements and cut by rotary cutter whenever I can, rather than using pattern pieces
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the wrap skirt, what about one with kids sizing.
Boys, boys, boys so glad you included them :)
I like the idea of kitchen stuff.
I really like this idea. The lunchbag and wrap skirt are the most interesting to me.
ReplyDeleteLove the new patterns! Seems like it would be a great format for some pillow patterns!
ReplyDeleteI love these!! What a great idea, and a great set! I particularly like the wrap skirt, and I would also make the lunchbag, jewelry roll, and suspenders!
ReplyDeleteOkay, TOTALLY disappointed that the wrap skirt doesn't go up to XL. :(
ReplyDeleteTechnically the wrap skirt can be made in any size because it is made based on your body measurements, but we added that note about the size because since the main skirt panel is sewn from one full width of fabric, it will be less gathered (and less wrapped) on sizes larger than L. Hope that makes sense!
DeleteLove these! The most ingenius idea so far!! Can't wait until they are available.
ReplyDeleteTheresa, they are available now on our website. http://www.modkidboutique.com/patterns.html
DeleteSuper cool!
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea

I think the minis are a great idea! How clever of you to recognize the market for smaller, less complicated, less expensive projects. But I'll be honest, when I saw the title, I was hoping for doll things! ;)

Very cute stuff! I love that most of these are so useful for friends asking me to teach them to sew! Can't wait to get some :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Love them all!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I'd like to see more of these in general since it looks like a good way to maybe get some friends interested in learning to sew. A small "Mod" project would be the way to go!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!! I totally want to try the skirt out! I think an e-reader/tablet case pattern would be aweseom!
ReplyDeleteNeat idea. I like the quilt and the lunch bags.
ReplyDeleteWould love to add these to my collection. Id love to sew that quilt.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE all your patterns, but these are AWESOME!!!! I can't wait to pick some up!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great format and easier to manage than regular patterns. like the variety of these patterns. I personally would like to see more clothes and bags.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love the bow tie and the quilt. I'll definitely be buying the quilt pattern. If I don't win, of course ;)
ReplyDeleteI think those formats are fun, thought the "normal" ones are suitable, too for bigger pattern ... I so adore your style, so it doesn't really matter to me ;) <3
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Great collection and great idea! Hmmm....as for new ones, such a variety here already....maybe something for the littles, a softie or pillow?
ReplyDeleteI love these! I already loved your regular patterns but these are also very cool. I'd love to see you put the skirt from the austrailian mag on one of these cards!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cool! The cases are a grat project for my 4-H'ers!
ReplyDeleteI love the new minis, simple and fast projects, for my teen girls. They are just so cute! I would like to see girl assesories, hat scarfs, jewlry and maybe some boot bling.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! Easy to store and reuse. This is perfect for my family, 3 girls and 3 deterrent size one pattern for all and that leaves more money to buy fabric!
ReplyDeletei think these are SO fantastic! I, like Jarie, have three girls, and i love to sew coordinating sets for them. Would love a quick and easy twirl skirt (they LOVE to twirl!) and would love a quick and easy peasant top/dress/tunic. THANK YOU!
