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 part of the pattern is the fit.
The most important piece to a great pattern is that it has been made as a sample and that it has a perfect fit.
It is important that patterns include the finished garment measurements so that if necessary, adjustments or changes can be made to suit the users desired outcome as they work on each section of construction. To achieve success, clear step by step instructions are required along with accompanying diagrams or pictures, to guide the maker through the construction process with satisfactory results. If the guidelines are clear and informative, no matter how challenging the task may have been, the successful completion of the final product will give the maker a sense of accomplishment and pride.
The most important\useful feature or element in a pattern is well marked patterns and clear instructions. Love that you have all the pictures in the instructions, sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words!
As an experienced sewer, the supply list, cutting instructions, good instructions, and accurate sizing and marking on pattern pieces are important. What frustrates me is when steps of a pattern are out of order. i also get frustrated when, from the instructions, I can’t visualize how the pieces of the item are supposed to go together. That happened to me with one pattern I got from Pixie Faire. Had I understood that aspect of the pattern, I wouldn’t have chosen a bright colorful fleece for what turned out to be a hidden lining. And on that pattern, I couldn’t find the kind of zipper that was called for. So a good supply list is also important.
