Pattern Highlights! Walden by Colette Patterns

Did you know that Colette patterns recently announced a brand new Men's division of their company?! This is so exciting!  Men really don't get much love in the home sewing world.  Afterall we're always sewing for babies, friends, family, or ourselves.  I think it's great that us sewers will now have these stylish options to sew for our hubbies and loved ones!

This toggle coat and hoodie is fabulous for those rainy parts of the world.

And you girls, don't fret!  The Albion coat is perfect for you too.  I'd wear this with my leggings, knee high boots and toasty mittens!

The Albion is now available my Etsy shop here.

Thanks for checking it out!

Pattern Highlight: The Laurel Dress

Hey there folks!
Just wanted to share this great pattern with you from Colette Patterns!  The Laurel dress is a simple shift dress pattern, easily accomplished by the beginning seamstress.  I love how the Laurel loosely hugs your curves, making it the perfect dress for work or even a date night!  I've got to make this in shift dress, and even the blouse version is calling my name.

Version 1 with slightly ruffled sleeve cuffs.

Version 2, with front pockets.

Version 3, Blouse version.

Wear it tucked...

...Or untucked!

Flattering at every angle!

Sleeves hit at the elbow for comfort and style.

Zips up nicely with an invisible zipper for a clean finish.

New Colette Pattern! Hawthorn is in the Shop Now!

Now I'm so excited to bring you the latest pattern from Colette Patterns!  The Hawthorn dress and peplum blouse is the cutest little number on the block.  The block of sewing patterns that is...

I'm loving the pointed collar detail and the flattering fit!  I basically want to make this pattern in every available option at least three times each, so that I can never stop wearing the Hawthorn.

Available in my Etsy shop, The Paper Dart, now!

Thanks for checking it out!

Warmth,

Andrea
