Introducing... High Society

My newest fabric collection, as part of Jo-Ann Fabrics' Premium Quilting Cotton line, is called High Society. This line was inspired by a trip my family and I took to the Biltmore Estate last year. It's got a bit of a turn-of-the-century Victorian vibe with some color pop in true Patty Young fashion.


Here is the full color card (click on thumbnail to enlarge):


I had such a fun time designing this collection! While I was drawing the flowers and shapes, I was envisioning all the cute little projects I would soon be designing and sewing with it! Here are afew of those projects to whet your appetite:

 Our newest PDF sewing pattern is called the ZOEY SUMMER ENSEMBLE and it features two sets of tops and two sets of shorts. The cover photo shows Sydney wearing a top made with Wildflowers Navy and shorts made with Brocade Teal. Inset shot shows another set of shorts made with Rose Garden Navy.


Our ZOEY models in this next shot are wearing High Society prints as well...

Our PDF pattern, REESE, features an adorable dress made with Floret Pink:


Another one of our popular PDF patterns, the CECE Lap Neck Dress and Top, also features High Society in the cover shot. Our cover model is wearing a CECE dress made with Wildflowers Citron and Floret Pink.

You may also recognize Wildflowers Navy and Floret Navy in this adorable CECE dress...

And this top version of our CECE is made with Tea on the Terrace Citron and Brocade Fuscia:


If children's clothing is not your cup of tea, check out these projects I designed for JoAnns! Look for FREE patterns in upcoming mailers!






HIGH SOCIETY is now available at Jo-Ann Fabric stores nationwide and also online (along with some limited stock of my previous line, Rendezvous)! You can click on any of the fabric swatches and check availability at your local store by using the STORE LOCATOR widget at the bottom of the page.

CAROLINE Downloadable PDF Pattern

I am super excited to tell you about the newest PDF pattern in our shop! This is the Caroline and as the pattern describes...
Caroline is the perfect party dress! It features stunning pintucked detail on the front bodice and a double knotted back design that is equally as stunning. The extra full skirt with pleated hem band adds lots of twirling power and since there are no buttons or zippers to install, your Caroline dress will be finished quickly so your girl can be the belle of the ball. 
Find our Caroline PDF pattern here:
This pattern comes in sizes 2T (toddler) to 10 (girls). There are 29 pages total in this document, including full-size pattern pieces.

We were incredibly fortunate to be able to shoot the cover and other images for this pattern at the amazing Biltmore Estates in Asheville, NC Here are just a few of the images we captured that day...




 
In addition, we have received some amazing photos from our testers, so I wanted to share these with you.

These below are from Elizabeth Shepherd, who blogs at EbethDesigns. She sewed this version of our Caroline dress for her adorable 2-year-old, Brie, using silk dupioni. Isn't this amazing?

Debbie Clifton's adorable model, Addison Bently (below), is wearing a Caroline dress in size 5, made in Cool Dots Papaya  and Swell Stripe Lime from Textured Basics fabric collection.


Jenny Fish (Sew Pretty Dresses)'s adorable model, Kelsey, is wearing a Caroline dress in size 8/9, made with a mix of designer quilting cottons.
Teresa Martin (Zabree Couture)'s adorable model, Tawnie Jean, is wearing a Caroline dress in size 3T, made with silk dupioni and silk taffeta.
And lasy, but certainly not least, I am completely obsessed by this version sewn by Andrea Thomas-Lambe at Thomas Park Gifts. Her adorable model, Marley, is wearing a Caroline dress in size 6 made with Birdie Damask and Moorish Tile from Andalucia 2012.

A huge thanks to all my testers above for the pattern feedback and amazing photos! Again, you can find our Caroline PDF pattern (along with all the others) at:

Happy sewing!!
