Welcome to DAY 9 of our 12 Days if Christmas celebration!
For our 9th Day Of Christmas giveaway, we are doing a GIVEAWAY of one $100 Girl Charlee eGift Card to one lucky winner. The gift card can be used towards any item available on the Girl Charlee website! Woot, Woot!
More about Girl Charlee: (from their website) Within Girl Charlee Fabrics you are going to find the best selection of the most unique knit fabrics that you will not find anywhere else. I know how hard it is to find knit fabrics that are soft, have just the right hand and stretch, and are not prints that you have seen everywhere else, and at prices that don't break the bank, so I only source fabrics that fit all those characteristics and almost all are offered at 20% off regular retail price EVERY DAY. We offer the highest quality cotton lycra and spandex solids and prints, trendy designer cotton jersey and rayon blends direct from famous designer labels, and other specialty knits like vegan leather, Hacci sweaters, double brushed spandex, and much more. Each fabric is hand selected to ensure we are offering you the best fabric available at the lowest possible price!
This is one of my favorite place to shop for knit fabircs! They have such a great selection and lots of rib knits and ribbing for those hoodies too!
Now... if you're thinking, "I am scared to sew with knits!" Don't be! There are so many great resources here on Pixie Faire to help you conquer your fear and ahcieve success!
You can find the full on demand Sewing With Knits video course HERE to download, or you can watch any of the course videos at any time when you have access to the Sewing With Cinnamon membership community!

The most important and/or useful feature or element in a pattern is a set of precise, clearly written instructions which include not only clear, grammatical sentences but sharp illustrations or pictures which show each step. Even the best drawn of patterns does not yield good results when the instructions are difficult to follow or when the illustrations do not match construction steps.
The most important\useful feature or element in a pattern is clear instructions, both written and visual. Sometimes when the pattern is printed out I rely solely on the pattern. I don’t want to rely on videos to show me how to do something. That is why I pay for a pattern, for the designer to care enough to write down clear and concise instructions in an orderly manner. The pattern pieces should be clearly marked as well so all confusion is avoided. That is the mark of a good designer.
The most important feature in a pattern for me is the fit and that it goes together well. For that testing is very important. Pictures of various interpretations are also very useful.
For me, the most important part of a PDF pattern is clear insteuctions … I love it when a pattern has both detailed instructions with pictures for the first time I make it, and a set of brief instructions that are easy to print and keep next to my sewing machine, for the next time I make it.
The most important feature is clear step-by-step instructions.
