ReplyDeleteYour pattern look super versatile, congratulations. New Years resolution is to not be so hard on myself, will be a challenge to change my mindset as I near 40. New long bladed pinking shears was my best sewing related Christmas gift.
ReplyDeleteMy resolution is to sew more for me and focus on fit. It was my resolution for 2013 but I got sidetracked! A new pattern for me would undoubtedly help :) looks great!
ReplyDeleteI am soo excited for this!!! And having your sister aboard is fantastic! And for being broken so many times, Herschel's nose doesn't look half bad!!! Thanks
ReplyDeleteRubberduckywon(at)gmail bebe!!!
I've neglected my sewing for far too long. This pattern (with it's variants) might give me the push I needed to get going again. I need something to make a dent in that stash that keeps building!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like an awesomely versatile pattern! And I love all of the digital improvements you detailed yesterday!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the chance, this Christmas I received a Tilda book and a decoupaged sewing box that was such a lovely gift from my sister in law
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to sew some more clothes for ME after I have my (3rd) baby next month.
ReplyDeleteOh man. I think I could learn a lot from this pattern--so much coming from one block! Congrats on a great result from such hard work.
ReplyDeleteWow, I love these variations! Looks like a great new pattern. I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteOh gracious. Love! You are really an amazing seamstress. I'm in awe of how much you can get done with little ones running around.
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo, part of my New Year "resolution" is to sew more. Specifically, tops to wear with suits. Your pattern would be perfect.
I love this pattern. My husband gave me a rotary cutter and mat this Christmas, so I am looking forward to more sewing in the new year.
ReplyDeleteoh, I'd love to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great looking pattern! I got a cook book I have been eying for a while :)
ReplyDeleteThis is just what I need to do more "me" sewing this year!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm already picking fabrics for all of these variations! We don't do Christmas presents because we think we have everything we need. But I do need a simple blouse though :-)
ReplyDeleteI got a brand new Bernina for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteFor Christmas I got a house! (We moved in November, so who needs more?) I want every one of those variations... can't pick a favorite!
ReplyDeleteThis Christmas was special since it was my daughter's first. We got to spend it with my mum which made it even more special. The gifts under the tree also helped :)
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteOH the variations are so lovely!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your pattern--so many variations! I got my first serger for Christmas
ReplyDeleteI've been looking forward to this pattern ever since you posted your first blouse. I agree that knits aren't the most figure flattering post baby, but are oh so comfortable. Looking forward to sewing this one up!
ReplyDeleteI got a pasta maker for Christmas . . . and a sewing pattern I've been eyeing. I'd love to add your lovely pattern to my "to-sew" list!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe those are all the same basic pattern! So creative.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm excited, too. My new year's resolution is to stop sewing bags for other people and start sewing clothes for me. I would really, really like to start with the simple blouse. May I? Please? :)

Super excited about this giveaway. I have been sewing more for myself in past month or so. one of my goals for 2014 is more garments for me.
ReplyDeleteI think this blouse is awesome! I hope I get picked!
ReplyDeleteLove the giveaway -- my 9-year old granddaughter bought me a Midge doll (she's much prettier than the 1960's Midge doll I had as a girl) for Christmas -- I thought this was so thoughtful. When we talked about what I used to play with, she remembered and when she spotted the "new and improved" Midge, she bought her for me!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite Christmas gifts was an essential oil set from Mountain Rose Herbs. Such a treat!
ReplyDeleteMy hubby got me a new kindle, and my bestie got me a new purse. Best Christmas ever!
ReplyDeleteAs for new years resolutions, still trying to decide mine. Do you guys do words, or do you write out resolutions?
My favorite Christmas gift was spending the morning with my two year old granddaughter! This is such a fun, versatile pattern. I'm looking forward to it's release!

Your pattern looks very nice & so comprehensive! I don't usually comment, but the giveaway got me! Best wishes for a great 2014. cara.grilledcheese@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you to release this pattern! Congrats!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSuper excited for your new pattern! Let's see - my favorite gifts were a couple of cardigans from my mother in law so i actually feel like i have some nice/new clothes to wear during these last weeks of pregnancy. That and my new Rifle Co. iPhone case. Little things that make a big difference. ;)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait! For Christms, I got a stack of penguins children's classics clothbound books! Love!

DeleteGreat pattern!
ReplyDeleteI got a new laptop for Christmas!!
I need to get familiar with my sewing machine this year!
ReplyDeleteReady to try my hand at that pattern!
ReplyDeleteI painted myself a new sewing area this Christmas and am anxiously awaiting a sewing table! This would be a perfect project to break it in.
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern! My new years resolution is to venture further into sewing clothes for myself!
ReplyDeleteOur new years resolutions were to A: Take the Christmas lights down before March. B: Take down the Christmas tree and decorations before February. We completed both resolutions on the 2nd and 3rd of Jan! Woo hoo! All done. :) (Backstory: Last year, the beginning few months were AWFUL for us...and the lights and tree didn't come down til sometime in March. crazy, yes!) Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThis is so fun! I received goodies to go with my Sony DSLR this year from my husband. He knows just what I love, apart from sewing!!
ReplyDeletenora-charles@live.com
For me it's the year of the UFO...I have resolved to finish ALL of my WIPs. if it is cut out, it will sewn together. if it is in my embroidery hoop, it will get stitched and completed (including frames). So far, so good. i've worked on a WIP every day this year already!
ReplyDeleteI love the variety of patterns you get from one! this was the first Christmas we were Kidless after 35 years! We did have our family on Boxing Day so that made up for it! My most fav gift is the tigereye bracelet and earring set I got from my husband (he remembered that i love that rock). I don't make resolutions but I do try to better myself. I plan on sewing more for charity this year. I don't have any grandchildren and I love sewing for children so I plan on combining those 2 and sew for the needs of children in our community. The needs are getting greater and so I need to sew more. Every child should have that feeling of being special, looking special. if I can do that for one child I would be thrilled! Of course I won't know but that doesn't matter. I have fun in the process! Oh and I also promised myself to sew more and step up on my work wardrobe. How long can I get away with wearing dress jeans(they have actually become my everyday jeans) and t's in a school office setting? LOL

For Christmas I got about 4# of chocolate, not so great for helping me with my New Year's resolution of getting healthy. I love the pattern!
ReplyDeleteI've been looking forward to your pattern! My New Year's resolution is to be kind to myself, to embrace my new "normal" and quit beating myself up because I'm not able to do the things I used to.
ReplyDeleteYour patterns is awesome... I would love it :)
ReplyDeleteWell this is perfect!! My resolution is to sew more for myself, since my children are getting older and refuse to wear the stuff I make them... Just in case caraleesearl at yahoo dot com

ReplyDeleteTelishahayes@hotmail.com
I love the options! I am not good at drafting my own patterns from using old T-shirts, etc. so I love a good basic pattern that's easy to follow. First up would be the cute red shirt you made with the buttons on the neck and the kangaroo pocket. I would love to win this!!
ReplyDeleteOh! marymakercompany(at)gmail(dot)com

I got violin exam music for my ABRSM grade 3 violin exam. My goal for the year is to complete the chapter on physio in a book about burns that our hospital is writing and to do outreach and awareness on how to prevent accidental burns.
ReplyDeleteGreat pattern!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite food is garlic bread!
Favorite food is tacos the home made kind not the fast food kind. Didn't really get anything exciting for Christmas just some chocolate, but I do love chocolate so its all good. When I was in elementary school my favorite thing the eat for lunch was yogurt sandwiches. I also went through this phase of making myself peanut butter, jelly, dry oatmeal and patato chip sandwiches. Yea I was sort of special lol. iluvyulots@yahoo.com
