Hello, friends!

For launch of my latest pattern, Citrine, I wanted to showcase the pattern in a number of different fabrics, styles, and sizes, so I asked a few of my favorite makers to preview the pattern along with our pattern testers who were interested in photographing their favorite versions. 

 

I was really blown away with their gorgeous versions, and I couldn’t believe how many of these makers had so much fun making their first one that they went right ahead and made a second (or third…). It’s a real vote of confidence when someone makes multiple versions of a pattern, so I’m super excited to show you what they’ve made today!

 

PLUS! I'm extending the deadline to use your special launch discount code YAYCITRINE until tomorrow night; if you’ve been wanting to try Citrine (or any of my other PDF patterns*), don’t miss this sale! Click this link to automatically apply the code in my shop.

 

Leilani (@studiogypsy) made three fun Citrines out of stretch velvet, stretch vinyl, and jersey, and added a fun zipper to one of them.

Ambrosia (@ambrosiakramer) created two magical versions of Citrine; she used a green cotton sweatshirt knit with matching rib knit to make a darted view A Citrine and a pink sweatshirting to create a darted view B with buttons. 

Kten’s (@jinxandgunner) lovely pale grey Citrine in a lightweight rayon knit proves that this pattern can span multiple seasons. If you live in a warmer spot, using thinner knits for Citrine can provide a perfect layering piece.

Tiffany (@tiffany_makes) used a gorgeous floral print sweater knit and paired her Citrine with a striped skirt to create Citrine outfit perfection. 

Emiko (@chickpeasewinglove) created this lovely burgundy-red version using view b of the pattern with buttons (Citrine can be made with or without).

Romy’s (@sewlike) fun colorblocked Citrines were both made using a combo of view a (fitted sleeve) and view b (gathered waist) using genius fabric combos that really make this pattern shine. Love this inspo for how to use those smaller knit pieces or scraps you may have lying around!

I love how Jessica's (@jessicawaldegar) Citrines fit so beautifully into her cozy wardrobe of handmades, which includes her favorite Rose pants. She made a buttoned view b version in a beautiful green tencel knit fabric and a combo of view a & b in a lovely rust red sweater knit.

You can see all of these makes plus more photos and details over on the post on my blog: find the full post here. As always, you can find all of the details on this pattern over on the Citrine page on my website - including size charts, yardage requirements, and all of the blog posts relating to this pattern.

I've been tending to a sick kiddo this week -- why I decided to extend the sale – but it's been so fun to watch the response to this pattern. When you've been working on something for such a long time, it just feels really great to get it out into the world.

 

A big thank you to you if you've already purchased Citrine and to those of you who have replied or commented with words of encouragement about this new pattern! Your support means so much to me - thank you so much for your enthusiastic response to this design!!
