“Flip this Pattern” with Straight Grain Patterns {discount code}


August’s pattern company is one of those “quick to rise” among the sewing community, growing by leaps and bounds since her blogging debut! Of course, we can’t leave it at that …. and give you a little history into our discovery of Straight Grain sewing patterns…
As we began sewing and blogging about our creations, pinterest became THE PLACE to look for sewing inspiration.  Well, we started seeing a cute little girl, in amazing clothes, pop up all over pinterest boards we followed faithfully. And, we LOVED every outfit she was wearing!!  That led us to investigate further, and lo and behold – we ‘met’ An, the brains behind Straight Grain. She began actively blogging a few months prior to us….and has since begun creating patterns to sell!

Right now, An has two patterns in her shop…..with two more on the way in the very near future! For the month of August, we are asking our readers to “FLIP” the Straight Grain Tinny pattern.

While it could be considered a ‘blank slate’ for the “sewing artiste”, we think it may prove more difficult than one might originally think. You see, An has “flipped” her pattern into much more than a singular pattern: creating 4 collar options, 3 skirt options, and 2 sleeve options…. What more can you do?!?!?! Oh, we’re sure your creative minds will blow us away once again!!

We’ve only sewn the Tinny once {for pattern testing purposes}, but hope to complete a second one before the month is out. How much will we flip it?? That’s still up for discussion….

And, since we’re sure you haven’t taken the time to check the available Thursdays for the month of August…..we want to be the first to tell you that there are FOUR!! Translation: there will be FOUR GUEST CONTRIBUTORS for the month of August. Brace yourself!! Four uberly talented ladies, ready to “WOW YOU” with their ‘flipped creations.’

Who are the contributors? Come back next Tuesday for their introductions!!

In the meantime, you have a chance to win your very own copy of the Straight Grain Tinny Pattern!!  One is up for grabs – all you have to do is enter the rafflecopter giveaway below for a chance to win! Giveaway ends on Saturday, July 27 at 11:00 PM CST.
a Rafflecopter giveaway

Also, An is providing a 15% discount code {FLIP} from now until the end of the month on any pattern in her shop. Go and purchase yours today….the sew-along opens up next week!! Are you ready to be inspired?!?!

And, if you need a little help in getting those creative juices going, you might want to visit the “Flip this Pattern” Pinterest Board as you look for inspiration to strike. *Please note: if you would like to pin ‘flippable’ inspiration on this board, please send us an email at francessuzanne2{at}gmail{dot}com to request permission to pin.

The sew-along will begin on Wednesday, July 31 and remain open until Thursday, August 22 at 11:00 PM CST.

I can’t wait to get started on this but not sure how to “flip” it because I LOVE it as it is!! I like the asymmetrical collar the most. I’m really looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with :)
