Preview: Fabric and Sewing Details

Things may seem quiet around here right now, but that’s because I’m working very very hard on our new patterns! We have a photoshoot coming up (tomorrow in fact!) and I hope to have some great behind the scenes shots for you. I’m very excited for this shoot.

In the meantime, here are some snapshots of various details from the samples I’ve been sewing. I hope to share a lot more of my creative process and what goes into creating Colette Patterns. Soon!

Would those be “fall” patterns? Wasn’t much in to sewing summer patterns this year, so I haven’t tried your patterns yet. Looking forward to them.

Sarai, can’t wait to see your new patterns! The pictures are such a tease — I really like those colours, and the dots! I’m wearing the beignet skirt today and love it! One day I’ll get around to posting pictures….

okay, this might be a stupid questions, but i’m worried enough to ask: are your first patterns going to go away when the new ones come out (please say no)?
