Hey everyone — thanks for all of the excitement over the Sweet Summertime shirt for my daughter. Yes, I made the pattern, so I don’t have a pattern number for you — so sorry 🙁 However, I am planning to publish some patterns this fall. I have lots of ideas in the works, but I’m totally open to suggestions. If you’re just dying to have a pattern for any of my personal projects (like the shirt), certainly give a holler. A little positive pressure just might do the trick!
Getting there — today I drafted the pieces for what will likely be my first published pattern — a ruffly apron for girly-girls. I’m planning to draft a second design to go with it and grade the two designs into 2-3 sizes to cover all ages. It’ll likely be a couple of months before I take any patterns to the printer — I’m hoping to have a number of designs ready to go at once — but when I do, you’ll be the first to know.
Again, thank you for your encouragement, a steady drip of affirmation — LOVE this blog thing!

Oh, I can’t wait for your new patterns!
Can’t wait for your new patterns, I would definately be interested in purcahsing a pattern book from you 🙂 I was wondering….what kind of camera do you use for your photography. I love the clarity and vibrant colors you are able to capture. 🙂
Good for you, Heather! Way to go for it. You have lot’s of supporters here!
Definitely looking forward to the publication of the shirt pattern 🙂
I will be the first to know? Yipee! Promise? I totally can not wait. I am going outside to wait by my mailbox right now. I should probably take a change of clothes and a book if it is going to be a few months! Yay!
Oh, I love that shirt. If you publish the pattern in the fall, I could totally have it done for my baby in time for next summer! (barring me learning how to sew first.) You site is so inspiring!
I love your patterns and would definitely buy more if you did publish. I just tried the booties and love them!
Holler!
Oh my goodness, I can’t wait for your patterns!!! Love the blog. Very, very inspiring!
I cannot wait for the ruffly apron pattern!! Apron patterns seem hard to come by, so I’ll look forward to it!! Your stuff is so cute!
Me too! Can’t wait for your pattern. All your sewing projects are so pretty.
Ummm, I do not know why it says HOLLER under my name up there!? I don’t remember writing that! What I did write was something like this: I love your blog and would love to buy any patterns you come up with…I just tried the booties recently and love them…
Oh man, sorry I’m all messed up..now I see my name was under my comment…SORRY, what a dork!
Oooooh! Heather! I soooo want the ruffle apron pattern! Oh how I love patterns for aprons…any patterns from you it seems…and yes, indeed, I would buy any and all patterns from you! You do have the most darling things…I’ve done the headbands and the booties, need to upload pics 🙂
Lemme know when the patterns are coming…I’ll be waiting!

I want a pattern book too! I love your designs.
In fact, would it be possible to actually buy a shirt from you? Are you selling them?
another lover of the cute shirt here… i’ve got a little girl (size 4T!) who would look so cute in one of those!
Please count me in for your patterns! My daughter wears a size 6 🙂 and I certainly echo all the compliments above.
I would love that pattern and others!
I’m 24 and I would love to weat this top! Cute is not just for little girls:)
Ohhh my daughter is just between the 4t and 5t and would love that top!!
I have to ask, I have limited sewing experiance, (I’ve made only pillows but am going to attempt your headband)would this be a very difficult pattern?
I have my hand up for some of your patterns too. I would love to purchase a pattern book if you put one together. That top looks fabulous!!
This shirt is really beautyfull, I like it very much !!
