Patterns of the Month
Through January, 2019, we are featuring three different patterns for you to try out at a 25% discount! Lorraine Torrence Designs pattern, Talk of the Town, is a fun to make, shirt pattern in two lengths using 5 different fabrics reminiscent of patch work. Grainline Gear's Long and Short of It, designed by Gina Bronow and modified by Lorraine, is a simple, shawl-collared reversible jacket in two lengths which can be pieced with an easy, strip-pieced unit or made in one reversible fabric layer. The longer length has a clever welt pockets that reverses to a patch pocket. Sunspots, from Lorraine Torrence Designs Quilt Pattern Series, designed by Amalia Magaret, is built of easy to piece curves and creates illusions of overlapping layers you can make in three sizes!
