Patterns first, shall we? Selecting twelve patterns (one per month) was absolutely heart-wrenching! We took into account various seasons, gender-based, cottons vs. knits, and the potential for “flipping”….and when it was all said and done, here is the “Flip this Pattern” line-up for the year.
| Pattern Anthology
Figgy’s | Peek-A-Boo Pattern Shop | Shwin Designs | Clever Charlotte
Violette Field Threads | Blank Slate Patterns | Heidi & Finn | The Cottage Mama
We combined large companies with small companies; established ones with ones just beginning pattern sales; etsy shops – several PDF patterns, and others with paper patterns only. Many of these patterns we haven’t even sewn before {okay….truth be told: some we don’t own….yet…}. All the patterns, though, hold a common thread – ones we felt had endless possibilities for flipping!
And, WOW, what an amazing response received from these companies!! Many have provided their feature month’s guest bloggers a complimentary pattern, and are planning some pretty awesome discounts and prizes for YOU during their scheduled month….just saying.
But, wait…..what about the guest bloggers??? Oh, brace yourself…. Are you ready? Sitting down for this??
Speechless, huh?? We were too…as the pieces to the series began to fall into place. Phenomenal was the word that kept coming to mind!! These fabulous bloggers are ready to knock your socks off with their ‘flipped’ creations. And, YES – the smack-talking between some has fully commenced!
So, don’t twiddle your thumbs….crank up those sewing machines, and get to sewing! Heidi’s Bubble Pocket Shorts from E&E Patterns is kicking off the series on June 5. And, yes – there will be some pretty exciting announcements regarding June’s feature pattern in the weeks to come!!
*Please note: creations sewn within the past six months may be linked and contributed to the monthly sew-along linky parties. These do not have to be completed within the month of the feature pattern.
