Tomorrow: Two New Patterns & The Opening of Gifts For Crafters

wool-canvas-new-pattern-preview

This is your last sneak peek.

Tomorrow, the suspense will finally give way to pure new-pattern-bliss. I mean, that’s how I feel on new pattern release day, don’t you?

Additionally, we may be announcing a special release-week discount, plus a contest or two, possibly some sew alongs, and perhaps a giveaway… You’ll just have to tune in to find out!

And don’t forget,  our holiday pop-up shop Gifts For Crafters opens tomorrow! I’ve got my holiday Wish List email to the family all set to send (and maybe a few ideas of what I can get for my mom, too).

Oh, isn’t it just so close you can taste it?

As always, I love the fabric choices pictured in the sneak peak.
I will definitely be sharing the link to your holiday pop-up shop with my husband for Christmas present ideas ;)

Gah!!!! The suspense is killing me! I have no idea what the new patterns will be even though I have been wracking my brains!

You guys are so funny, your sneak peeks make this so exciting. It’s amazing what excites a sewist, something as simple as a new pattern release and I just can’t wait to see what it is :-) This peek really makes me think its a jacket.

Really had no idea before but now I really think (and hope) it’s outerwear. Looks like a twill coat of some sort with a Navajo-inspired layer/lining for warmth…hope I’m right because I need a new one!

So excited. Just purchased two Colette patterns, and I’m excited to see what the new patterns are. I hope one of them is for beginners. :)

So, does anyone know what time PST the new patterns are being announced? I’ve looked through the previous couple of blog posts and there doesn’t seem to be a time listed…

I apologize.. I have zero originality. :) Is there any chance you would know what pendleton fabric pattern that is? it’s just so lovely. I think this will make an amazing diaper bag.
You guys are rock!

Haha, it was purchased at the Pendleton Woolen Mill just outside of Portland, OR. It is a current fabric, but we don’t know of a style name you could look up.
