A month ago, I said I was determined to get my sewing patterns to market. And I set a goal to have them ready for pre-sale by February 9. It's February 11... about time, huh?
I'm proud to introduce my four debut sewing patterns, Izzy Pin Cushion and Toy, Kitchen Art Accessories, The State Street Tote, and the Green Living Market Bag. Each one has a little something extra in the directions. The Izzy Pincushion has directions for the blanket stitch for applique and a nifty rolled rose in felt, the Kitchen Art Accessories have directions for fabric collage using free-motion quilting plus embroidery stitch directions for the leaf of the pear pot holder, the State Street Tote features either a magnetic closure or my signature spring closure (which will be available wholesale), and the Green Living Market bag features instructions for French seams and a really neat way to do a double sided cuff.
All of the patterns are now available for wholesale only pre-order. Approximate shipping is March 15, 2010. If you are a store owner and would like to carry my patterns please contact me and I'll send you an account number and password for my wholesale shopping page on my website. I'll need your state resale number to set up your account. They will also be available through several distributors. Enjoy!
They are all so pretty!!

These are great, my favorite is the oven mitt, it calls out for me to bake so I can use it!

Bari, the patterns look great! It's exciting to see the other ones! Congratulations on finishing them! I will try to get our local store to carry them. They so need to get with the program!!;) Maybe I'll take the market bag over and show them. Again, congratulations!! I know you worked so hard for this and now it's paying off!

Do you have any particular State Street in mind for that bag? Because of course, I immediately picture State Street in Santa Barbara, and I'm wondering if that was your inspiration for the name.

Looks like my first comment got lost, oops. I can see why you have been so busy! First the book and now these! They are terrific!
When do you get to rest? (Or do you understand that concept at all?)

You have an amazing site. I see you do graphic design. I am a quilt pattern designer and own a shoppe. I am in need of someone to do the graphics on my patterns. Is this something you would be interested in? If so, please contact me.
Congratulations on your new patterns! Will you be at Market this Spring? If so I will look you up.

Congratulations on your debut sewing patterns! They look very professional, innovative, stylish, and distinct. The Pin Cushion Toy is very cute. And it seems that you have great web design skills as well ;-) Kudos, this blog is gorgeous!

I just found a quilt patter in Romatic Homes by you, its Runners World. I am not sure what the motifs are,how they are to be cut or where they are to go. Maybe I'm not reading the directions well enough Iam not sure. Would love to understand and make it!
