Our Fashion Faves | |
Once in a while we find a fashion pattern that we can hardly wait for you to see. This year, there are two! You'll find these both at our Sewing Expo booth and soon at our stores.
The Aurelia Cardigan is an amazingly simple design with amazing versatility. Make the "ruffly skirt pieces in separate colors or fabrics. Coordinate the neckline ruffle with the skirts or add a contrast. Leave off a skirt piece for a different look and make the sleeves any length you please. Combo those options with a wide variety of suitable fabrics and you've got everything you need for a wardrobe of Spring/Summer Cardigans.
The Abbey Coat pattern offers a stunning, flattering retro look that lends itself well to Spring weight wools, Ponte knits or cool Canvas. Make it short or long, and your "what-to-wear" Spring coat problems will be fashionably solved.
We have two picks for new Spring bags, too. The Easy Peasy Grommet Bag shown in our into block above and The Caitlyn Bag shown here. Betz White, designer of the Caitlyn pattern has a way with fabric and design that makes it easy for you to combine your own colors and prints and be successful every time! Look for both of these great bag patterns in our booth and at our stores. |
