“Flip this Pattern” with Clever Charlotte


January’s pattern company is one we’ve admired from afar for too, too long! So, what better opportunity than to throw Carla and Erin of Clever Charlotte in the “pattern flipping mix” than through designating one of their patterns as the “Flip this Pattern” for January???

But, which pattern to choose?? We’ve had our eye on several of them….
after seeing some fabulous creations made by other bloggers.

The Sandpiper Capri and Top

Seriously…who wouldn’t want this pattern after seeing 
this lovely creation by Probably Actually??

and the Finch Top and Shorts…

Check out this fantastic inspirational piece showcased by 
 Running with Scissors!! Simply perfection.

Or, if you are looking for a fancier look, the Olivine Dress is great party attire. 

Love, love, love the look of this dress…..

 But there was another pattern that caught our eye: The Chickadee Blouse and Skirt.

A pattern we needed…. Ohhhh, the lines of this pattern screamed to us. 
Simply perfection! And, a pattern that seemed completely ‘flippable’, as evidenced here:

So, for the month of January, we are asking our readers to “FLIP”
the Clever Charlotte, Chickadee Blouse and Skirt Pattern.

This garment is another ‘blank slate’ for the “sewing artiste”, yet we like it so much ‘as is’….we may have difficulty flipping it! Of course, we’re sure your creative minds will blow us away once again!!

We’ve never sewn a Clever Charlotte pattern, but hope the Chickadee Blouse and Skirt will be the first of many creations made using Carla and Erin’s patterns. 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 January…..we want to be the first to tell you that there are FOUR!! Translation: there will be FOUR GUEST CONTRIBUTORS for the month of January. 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!!
