Up on the drawing board...


This jumper has become one of my favorites and this winter, I hope to modify a jumper pattern to make girl's sizes and women's sizes. It is a square neckline jumper that is a bit different than the one we offer in the catalog (Dora's Jumper). This one is more of a "bib" or "overall" style jumper. We've even seen jumper sewn with overall-style claps in the front; we haven't tried it ourselves though yet. And then another feature which I like about it is that it has ribbon drawstrings in the back which allow you to pull in the extra room in the back of the jumper. Pictures of someone wearing it (yours truly) can be seen here: http://ajoyfulhandmaiden.blogspot.com/2006/07/july-25th-tuesday.html
It is always exciting to start thinking about putting together another catalog for the new year. We always appreciate suggestions and comment regarding what we offer, so if you'd like to share some input, whether it is something you like what you'd like to see, more of something, etc, please feel free to share it with us!

I've been meaning to ask you, are there patterns available for your dresses? I sew and would love to make some of them myself.

Thanks!

At this point, we haven't offered patterns, just because we don't know where to start with actually "doing" it, but we have had so many requests, that it is something that we may be seriously looking into.

Thanks for your encouragment! =)

I love that style! I actually recently just designed a jumper for myself just like it. Right before YBS actually. I think I had to make six mock ones before I got it right! Thankfully, the pattern fits well now!
