...in the shop now...pink fig patterns - fall '09 collection

So is everyone all caught up with Quilt Market blog posts? I'm sure I've been just as caught up in them as you all have! One of the designers showcasing her new collection at Quilt Market was Chelsea Andersen of Pink Fig Patterns. She has 4 new patterns, each one just as sweet as her previous patterns.

As you can see, the Juliet Top goes perfectly with the Sweet Heart Pants and the Nie Nie Skirt. The Juliet includes instructions for 2 styles of tops - apron style or corset style - so it's like two patterns in one! The Scrapbook Jeans and Sweatshirt pattern is a great pattern for jazzing up clothes your little girl probably already has. Use an existing pair of jeans and a plain sweatshirt, add a little bit of fabric, and you've got a whole new outfit! What an adorable school outfit, right? And for a little bit of twirly fun, check out the Nie Nie Skirt - it has tons of ruffles! Get as creative as you want with fabric choices...or let your little girl pick out the fabrics to design her own skirt! Perfect for Spring and Summer, but add a pair of cozy, warm tights and this skirt can be worn year round.

Chelsea does a fantastic job of designing clothes that can be worn in any season with minimal adjustments - making her patterns and the clothes you make with them a great value! So head over to the shop and check them out!

...pink fig patterns...the nie nie skirt

Have you seen the newest Pink Fig Patterns? Chelsea Andersen has created 4 adorable patterns for her Fall 09 collection, my favorite of which is The Nie Nie Skirt. Not only is it extremely fun in all it's ruffley cuteness, but it has special meaning behind it. If you haven't heard of Stephanie Nielson, or Nie Nie as she is affectionately known to her many blog followers, you should read up on her amazing story. Fighting her way through an incredibly difficult recovery from a near-fatal plane crash, Nie Nie chronicles her journey one heart-felt post after another.

Nie Nie spent many months in the hospital and a recovery fund has been set up to help her and her husband offset some of their medical expenses. After meeting Nie Nie, Chelsea became inspired to design a new pattern and name it after her. She explains in her blog, "I designed it with Stephanie in mind and I think it captures her uplifting, free spirited, and cheerful personality." Chelsea has decided to donate a portion of all sales of the Nie Nie Skirt to the recovery fund. And I have decided to follow her lead and donate a portion of my sales (10%) as well.

Whether you purchase the pattern just because you like it or because you want to help, know that the donation is going to help some folks who are very much in need.

See you in the shop,

I discovered Pink Fig Patterns after a customer shared with me a project she was working on. She had a customer bring her the Girly Skirt pattern and asked that the finished product look exactly like the picture on the pattern. I looked up the pattern to determine which fabrics were needed (the now discontinued Joel Dewberry Aviary line) and within an hour had emailed the designer, Chelsea Andersen, asking for an order form. These patterns are fresh, fun and creative! Pattern sizes range from 6 months to 10 years. There are several patterns in the shop now that are perfect for summer! I'll start with my favorite...

The Patchwork Skirt


The Cuppy Cake Dress


The Lily Top


The Girly Stripwork Skirt


The Lydia Dress


The Girly Skirt

The Bella Pants

The Olivia Top


The Mish Mash Skirt


The Natty Jacket & Vest
