Friends,
I've been absent the past few weeks but I've been busily working my spare moments to get my pattern and my shop ready. And it is finally here. I'm going out to celebrate tomorrow. Er, my husband is going out with friends. OK, I'm staying IN to celebrate tomorrow!! You can find my shop at gotopatterns.com. In it you'll see my one PDF sewing pattern but you can count on more coming sooner than later! RIght now you'll have to settle for just my Signature Dress Pattern for Girls sizes 12 mo—12 years.
This pattern is the granddaddy of knit dress patterns. It includes 3 lengths, 7 sleeve options (plus you can layer them!), 4 pocket styles, a hood and a few appliques thrown in for fun.
Don't be afraid of knit fabric! This pattern has LOADS of tips to ensure this is an enjoyable experience for you.
This is a fully digital pattern and I think you'll be impressed with the quality. I've had many rounds of testing—THANKS TESTERS! This has taken me hundreds of hours to get to this point (well it feels like hundreds though I'm not sure the exact amount). I'm very excited and eager to see what you think.
Head over and "like" the Go To Patterns facebook page and get a discount code only good through Wednesday. I don't plan to offer many discounts (see hundreds of hours comment above) so take advantage now! Did I mention it's an instant download? You can be cutting and sewing soon!
Here's the cover of my first pattern!
Thanks for all the support over the past 5 years I've been blogging! Can't wait to see where this pattern takes me! Now go check out Go To Patterns!
Do me a favor? Will you head to the shop and pin an image from there? I'd LOVE to have Pinterest fans get directed straight to the store. THANKS!!

Congratulations on getting your pattern out and the shop up-and-running. The dress pattern looks fantastic, I love that there are so many options available for a world of endless possibilities.
I see a lot of dresses made from that pattern for my little girl 🙂
