Shannon and Tiffany here and we are the force behind our business Create Kids Couture. We are SO excited to be joining Shabby Fabrics this month! If you're not familiar with Create Kids Couture then you are in for a treat! We met in 2008 in a mom's group and discovered our love for sewing. We quickly bonded while teaching ourselves how to make clothes and accessories for our daughters. at that time we realized that while there were plenty of beautiful patterns out there, the niche for "over the top" children's boutique patterns was lacking however we didn't have the skills required to make patterns. We both opened up boutiques and remained friends continuing to work together occasionally and share new techniques we learned always!

After years of requests from fans, we finally decided to share our unique, one-of-a-kind design with everyone by forming Create Kids Couture in July 2011. When we opened we had just 5 patterns and after really discovering our love for desiging we quickly grew to have over 90 patterns in our first year. Today we have over 140 PDF patterns and 11 paper patterns in our collection. We've grown to include not only children's patterns, but also, doll, tweens, and women's sizes as well! 

We love our "job" and enjoy getting our creativity out in a way that helps others and allow them to not only get their creativity out too, but also to make beautiful pieces for their daughter's or customer's to wear! We strive to make beautiful patterns that are easy to follow whether you are new to sewing or have been sewing for years. We are inspired by our daughter's tastes and our love for ruffles and everything girly. We enjoy teaching and helping others, especially mom's like us, learn to sew, expand their sewing knowledge, and grow their businesses through our patterns, blog, and other social media outlets!

We hope you give our patterns a try and enjoy them as much as we enjoy making them for you!

Happy Sewing!
Shannon and Tiffany

Blessings of Winter

Perhaps you've been with us since the beginning of The Blessings Series: you crafted flowers and watering cans in Blessings of Spring, ice cream cones and sailboats in Blessings of Summer, leaves and pumpkins in Blessings of Autumn....

Now it's time for snowflakes and hot cocoa!  That's right, Blessings of Winter is now complete!

 

This beautiful quilt was so much fun to design!  I love winter, so the snowflakes, snowmen, ice skates, and more were a joy to create.  The color palette is totally new for me, but I'm completely in love with it...what do you think? 

 

We're excited to offer this Block of the Month program in two ways: Traditional and Laser Cut.  

 

The Traditional version is for anyone who prefers hand applique. Receive your fabrics for each block as usual. BONUS: All of the snowflakes for the block will arrive die-cut for you! No fussing with itty bitty cuts!

 

The Laser Cut version is great for anyone preferring the fusible applique method. Receive all of your applique fabrics already fused and laser cut! All you need to do is peel off the paper, place, iron, and stitch! No need to spend hours tracing, cutting, and adding fusible webbing to each applique piece. Watch our quick YouTube video to see how it works! BONUS: All of the snowflakes for the block will arrive die-cut for you and backed with fusible webbing. 

 

 

We've had so much fun with The Blessings Series these last few years.  So many of you have become our friends through these quilts!  Perhaps I should create a new one that is "The Blessings of The Blessings Series!"   :)   

 

Reserve your spot today for The Blessings of Winter and join us for ten months of fun!
