New PDF Pattern: Lily Skirt

Here by popular demand is this adorable skirt pattern that originally appeared in AUSTRALIAN HOMESPUN Vol. 13 No.10. Since the magazine was not readily available in the US (or elsewhere in the world), we had countless requests from fans to turn this design into a downloadble PDF pattern. Per our contract with Homespun, we had to wait 2 months after publication date, but now the wait is finally over and here it is!



Lily is an adorable skirt design with cascading layers and mini-ruffles galore, to make every little girl twirl in delight. Sized 2T to 10, this skirt even includes a fabric bow that can be made removable for easy washing.

It is available for immediate download at the following sites:

• Craftsy
• Fat Quarter Shop
• You Can Make This (may take a bit longer to show up here) 
• The Fabric Fairy

The pattern is $8.99 regardless of where you puchase it from and you can even purchase a full fabric & notions kit to make this skirt in any size up to a girls 10 here.


This kit includes:

• 1/3 yard of Twirling Blossoms • 1/2 yard of Sculpted Garden • 1/2 yard of Running Stitch • 21" of 3/4"-wide elastic • One metal pin back for removable bow
per kit (does not include the pattern) Purchase kit here.

Two wonderful features for MODKID = two awesome projects for YOU!

This month we have the utmost pleasure to be featured in two prominent magazines, Australian Homespun and American Patchwork and Quilting. Yes, that is my name in the front cover of Australian Homespun... SQUEAL!



And since both magazines requested we provide their readers with a full fabric kit for making their project, that means that you can now make these awesome projects without having to search the world over for fabrics and notions.

Lets start with this adorable LILY SKIRT featured in Australian Homespun (Kit available here).



It's twirly, ruffly and oh, so sweet! And it even comes with a removable bow so she can also wear it on her hat, purse, backpack or headband. Instructions for this sweet skirt appear on pages 35 - 39 of Vol. 13 No. 10 in Australian Homespun, right after a wonderful bio on myself and history of MODKID. It's really a great read!



You can purchase a full kit with all the fabrics (from Lush) and notions needed to complete this skirt (up to a size 10) here. You can purchase a digital version of the magazine on Zinio or subscribe to it on Amazon. For a physical copy of the magazine check out the following distributors:
In the US: Erica's
In the UK: The Cotton Patch and Manor House Magazines
In New Zealand: Needlecraft
In Singapore:  Car Kit PTE

Now, on to this wonderfully soft knit quilt, called OVER UNDER QUILT, featured in the December 2012 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting (Magazine available in stores NOW! Kit available here.)

 

When the editors at APQ emailed me to ask if we would design a quilt featuring our new Heaven & Helsinki knits, I was so excited because, as some of you now, I LOVE working with knits and have made it a personal goal of mine to educate the world about how easy it is to sew with them (not scary at all!). And, I've also been preaching the virtues of knits for quilting because of our own experience with it. My girls both sleep with knit quilts in their beds... they are so soft and cuddly and feel so comfy against your skin.

Emalee designed this super easy-to-sew basket weave pattern, which APQ titled OVER UNDER, and we are offering a kit of all the fabrics you need to make the quilt top and pieced backing. All you'll need to add is the batting! Magazines are sold separately in news stands across the country. I found my copy at my local Barnes & Noble.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that MODKID is now offering worldwide shipping on our website. Up until now, we only shipped internationally for wholesale orders, but now we will ship anywhere and everywhere!

New goodies on the site!

If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook then you already know that I've been keeping some secrets and I was bursting at the seams in anticipation of the day I could let the cat out of the bag. But yesterday, we finally got the shipment in of my new, totally fabulous Designer Pins and we worked around the clock photographing, editing and uploading them to the site, because I just couldn't wait one more day to share these with you.

Just look at these candy-licious colors!!



I could just eat them up, but then again, I wouldn't want to end up like my friend, Jana. But I digress... the pin heads are molded in the shapes of two of my favorite Grand Bazaar fabric designs... the Spades and the Spears. Here are the Splendid Spears...



I worked alongside Brewer to produce this exciting new product line and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. The pins come inside cute little tins like these, 100 pins in each tin...



And the tins are embossed with my logo (squeal!!!)



And as if that wasn't adorable enough, the whole kit & caboodle comes beautifully packaged in a custom-designed clear box, perfect for gift-giving (or to keep for yourself, whatever floats your boat!)





And what do you think of the names, Splendid Spears and Spade Parade? Jon came up with those all on his own.... see, we all chip in on the creative process around here!

Our Designer Pin Tins are available on our website now, so stock up for the Holidays... these are perfect for stocking stuffers, teacher gifts or for your sewing group gift exchange! :)



No, they are not that big... haha... that is a dolly-sized dress up there ^^^ (the Mini-Naomi)!

On other news, a few of you expressed an interest in purchasing the kits my students used in my Creative Connection classes, so we have made a few more and they are now listed on our website in very limited quantities. These kits include EVERYTHING you need to make these two projects, including the printed pattern, the fabric and all the notions needed (even the thread!!)...

Here is the French Window Pillow Cover kit:
