Children’s pattern makers/companies

    Children’s pattern makers/companies
    on: February 25, 2011, 05:34:28 PM
    I’ve lately felt uninspired while looking at patterns for my 2 yr old daughter. I’ve looked at the major pattern companies (McCalls, etc) and am wondering about smaller pattern makers, like O+S. Are there any other pattern brands I should check out? I’m currently looking for an easter dress, but I sew everyday clothing, too.

      Personally, I think the O+S patterns are superb. Others that I have tried and liked are Favorite Things and Pink Fig. And a new favorite of mine is Patterns by Figgy's. There's this Ofelia dress that you could make more formal by using a lawn or a voile for Easter.

        farbenmix, studio tantrum, ottobre, modkid, lotsa indie stuff on etsy. some of these patterns r a little $$, but considering u can sew from them for many years, the cost kinda evens out. good luck finding something! Smiley

          Try Ottobre.  There's a ton of patterns in any given issue, so it's a good value vs. buying single patterns.  There are lots of ideas for cute embellishments in them, the patterns are drafted well, and the directions are excellent.
