Introducing Modkid Aubrey

We are excited to announce the release of the Modkid Aubrey pattern! The Aubrey is a simple knit dress with special details including the curved seams and a hidden kangaroo pocket. With 3 sleeve options, this dress will take you through all seasons! The Aubrey pattern comes in sizes 2T to 12 and is best sewn in medium weight knit fabrics. Patty provides detailed lengthen and shorten lines with instructions to get just the right fit too.

Since a lot of kids across the nation are starting school today, we decided that instead of listing this pattern at an introductory price, like we usually do, we will just offer an amazing back-to-school coupon code. You can get this an any other pattern your heart desires for an amazing price! Coupon code AUBREY2016 gets you 40% off your entire order on our Etsy store.... this makes this and any other full-price pattern only $5.99!!! But, hurry, the coupon code expires exactly 24 hrs from now. Go ahead and stock up for the Fall!

We hope you enjoy this inspiration from our testers!

Modkid Easter Inspiration - Part 2

Easter is right around the corner, and if you're like me, you've waited till the last possible minute to make your kids adorable outfits or that very special handmade gift from the Easter Bunny. But, don't fret! Each and every one of these patterns can be made in one easy afternoon, so you'll have plenty of time to enjoy your family on that special day.

Does your Easter Bunny prefer to bring handmade gifts instead of store-bought toys or candy? Our Travel Art Folio is the perfect Easter gift for creative kids of all ages!

If your girl is more into jewelry and make up instead of art, she will be thrilled with our Jewelry Roll. BONUS: It can double as a school supply, art supply or sewing supply kit and at $4.99 you really cannot find a better value!

Would the Easter Bunny bring an Mod Owl as a gift? Sure! Why not? And what kid wouldn't love and adorable owl with a little pocket that holds an extra surprise? This pattern is only $4.99 and can be made with just small fabric scraps!

Now, for the Easter ensembles... how about something for the boys? The Keagan Shirt pattern comes with 4 different styles of shirts and would be perfect to match with daddy's tie or sister's dress.

And speaking of ties, nothing's faster to make than our Dapper pattern... which comes with bow ties and suspenders in both adult and child sizes... matching sets!!! Now available in PDF pattern format for only $2.99!

And of course, for the girls, here are a few of my personal favorite Easter dresses...

Reese Party Dress:

And the Pleated Skirt (which can be made for mom and daughter!):

Hope this gives you enough inspiration to get sewing! HAPPY EASTER!!

Introducing Charlotte

When you combine a look that is both vintage and modern, you get something timeless. Which is exactly what I think Patty has done with her latest pattern, the Charlotte. 

Here is the pattern description:

"Charlotte is the perfect Holiday dress for all seasons and climates! Make it with flutter sleeves or short, cuffed sleeves for warmer climates, or make a long, bubble sleeved version for the colder climates. This pattern even comes with a double-breasted jacket version to wear over jeans, a pretty skirt or a simpler dress."

The pattern comes in sizes 2T to 12. From the wonderful tester photos, you can see the dress style is all about what you make of it! For the first 24hrs of the the release, you can purchase the Charlotte pattern from the Etsy shop for $5.99!

LEXI inspiration on SEW FAB

One of the wonderful things about being part of the SEW FAB group has been getting to "meet" so many fabulous designers! Even though we have never met face to face and most of us live nowhere near each other, we do have one thing in common... SEWING! And with that comes a love for patterns, fabric and photography.

In case you don't know about SEW FAB, click HERE to learn more. 

The SEW FAB bundle can be purchased HERE.

Our LEXI DRESS AND PEPLUM TOP pattern is our contribution to the SEW FAB bundle. Today I am sharing some LEXI Dresses made by my fellow SEW FAB designers.

First off we have Karly Nelson, of Paisley Roots, who actually made her own reverse appliqué technique on the front of this LEXI dress as part of Project Run and Play. WOW, I am in love with this version of Lexi! The pattern on the front is absolutely FABULOUS!!

Next we have designer Sara Beth Upshaw, of Molly Blossom, sharing her wonderful up-cycled Monsters Inc Lexi dress. How cute is she? I think she likes her new dress.... and so do I!

And last, but certainly not least, Jeanine Thomlinson of Scientific Seamstress added a dinosaur free-stitched embroidery design to the front of this Lexi dress. How awesome is that?! She said "My girl loooooves wearing it! She's worn it twice now this week. haha"

This pattern and 19 others are included in the SEW FAB bundle! You will receive 20 PDF patterns for $29.99 ... that's less than $1.50 per pattern! A better deal than that you will not find.

I also wanted to share again a few of my tester photos from our original Lexi pattern launch, because they are so awesome!!

So what are you waiting for? Run out and get your SEW FAB bundle now! This offer ends on May 13th.
