Made in Philly!

I'm excited to announce that Betsy Ross Patterns will be featured in the Made in Philly exhibition, in conjunction with Design Philadelphia. The opening reception is Friday, October 9. Come by and check it out!

The best part is that not only does Betsy Ross Patterns appear in the show, but they will also be available for sale on the Made in Philly website! It's a great idea and I'm so pleased to be involved.

i love summer skirts

My friend Leya made an adorable skirt from my 001 A-Line Skirt pattern that I thought you would like to see... great fabric!

customer photo!

I just wanted to show a great skirt from my 001 A line Skirt pattern, made by a customer. How cute!

What really charmed me was the great label she made to put in her skirt, reminding her of the fact that she shared the experience with her mom!

Thanks for passing along the photos!

apartment pants

My friend Leya of Curiousbird just made the cutest pair of apartment pants from my pattern, and I just had to share!

Love the fabric- the pants are made from a tapesty she snagged on sale at Urban Outfitters. Best part...I got a pair too! Thanks, Leya!

I'm featured on fabric.com!

I'm happy to report that there's a great write-up on Betsy Ross on the fabric.com blog during their celebration of 10 years. So honored to be featured! Thank you, fabric.com, for the sweet words! Keep in mind that although betsyrosspatterns.com features only a limited selection of patterns, these folks carry a lot more of the line. Check them out, and buy some great fabric while you're out it!

action!!!

Hi Everyone!

Just like Chuck Norris, we've been punching and kicking our way through 2009. It's been a busy start to the new year!

A lot of the activity has to do with finding some great new retailers to carry Betsy Ross sewing patterns. I'm very excited about the wider availability of the patterns. For a full list of the places that carry the patterns, please click here!

glowing lantern fabric

Fabric design website Spoonflower is having weekly contests for designs. A recent winner, Bronwyn Landvatter (who, incidentally, has a fun blog) won with this great print. I love it- I would use it for a curtain in my bedroom. And the great thing is, you CAN buy these limited edition prints through Spoonflower's Etsy shop!

Register for the weekly emails from Spoonflower to participate in voting and to keep on top of what is being offered. I get lost on that site for an hour everytime I click on it!
