Little Lambs patterns


I always like to know more about the designers of the patterns that we offer, and thought that our blog is the perfect way to introduce them to you.  Today,  I've asked Kristen from Little Lambs to do a guest blog post.  Kristen has designed some great patterns that are easy to sew and practical- what every new Mom needs!   This is Kristen and her adorable son and here is Kristen's guest blog post:


I would like to thank Ann for inviting me to be a part of her blog. Sadly, I am embarrassed to admit that this is my first time to blog about anything! My name is Kristen and I am a stay at home mom and the owner/designer of Little Lambs, sewing pattern designs aimed mainly at babies and toddlers. I have been in business now for about a year and a half and absolutely love what I do!! I never envisioned myself doing something like this- I used to be a high school science teacher- but I grew up sewing and creating all kinds of things and have always loved being “crafty.”  I guess it just goes to show that you never know what opportunities life may bring.

As always, I have lots of project ideas in mind that I would love to accomplish soon. Unfortunately, as a mom of two active little boys, that doesn’t always happen as quickly as I would like! Right now, I am currently finishing up a pattern I was invited to design for Kona Bay’s Asian Fabric Magazine. It is a kimono-style shirt that begins with a simple knit turtleneck and two cotton fabric prints. I am also currently working on several baby room décor items and high chair and play yard accessories using plush fabrics. I hope to have all of these patterns ready for sale by late spring.

So whether I am in the middle of changing a stinky diaper, playing super heroes with my oldest, or designing a new pattern, there is one thing I know for sure. I am so blessed to have such a great job!!

Try one of Kristen's patterns at 10% off until the end of January!

What to Wear in Madagascar

To be honest, I have no idea what to wear in Madagascar, and this title may need to be changed to "what NOT to wear in Madagascar" in a few months.  We will have to wait and see.  My 22 year old daughter, Alyssa, left for the Peace Corps this week, and she will be stationed in Madagascar for the next 2 years and 3 months.  Yes, you read that right- TWO YEARS and three months!!! We are very proud of her for wanting to help make the world a better place, and for being fearless in doing so, but it will be a looooong time for Mama and Papa back home. Not knowing anything about Madagascar, the first step in figuring out what to pack was to figure out the weather and the cultural norms.  Madagascar is a very large island off the southeastern coast of Africa.  It's very, very unique in it's ecosystem, and has many species that are not found anywhere else in the world- most famously lemurs. Right now, it is experiencing it's rainy season, as you can see by the

Vogue 9305 Asymmetrical Tunics

It's April and we're expecting snow tonight.  Have we switched hemispheres?  Nevertheless, I am sewing with visions of warm sunny days.  And for those warm sunny days to come, I imagine sitting in the shade with a light breeze flowing through the air, enjoying a light beverage with friends.  Just close your eyes and you can imagine too.  What would you be wearing?  Well,  I love a dramatic asymmetrical tunic made of the softest linen.  As luck would have it, I found just the fabric in the "As Is" section in Fabric Mart's sales category.  With just some irregular dye marks on the selvage, it was marked down, but still completely usable.  It started out as a solid color, but I did an ombre dip dye process to get this look- more on that later! For my pattern, I chose Vogue 9305 , a tunic with a shaped hemline, and two styles of pants (I didn't make the pants).   This pattern must be the biggest bang for your time possible.  The tunic went tog
