I have a great giveaway for you today! Children’s Fashion Workshop is great site to help you design any child’s pattern you can dream up. It is really cool! Especially if you are new to designing for your self but really want to start somewhere. She has basic block patterns in a wide range of sizes to help get you started and lessons so you can learn how to add ease, collars, pockets, anything you can possibly desire you can learn how to draft.
I worked with the basic bodice, and showed you what I made just a few days ago adding bubble sleeves to a top.
And you know even though I draft patterns a lot, there is always something new to learn and that’s what is really fun about using the blocks and lessons.
Today Children’s Fashion Workshop is giving away:
One pattern set (which includes 3 sizes of either a bodice or pant)
and
Two lessons of your choice.
Pretty sweet!
To enter check out Children’s Fashion Workshop and leave a comment telling me what you are dying to draft/design.
Giveaway will be open until May 1st 2013 Winner will be selected on May 2nd 2013
Good luck!

A jacket/coat pattern to start from would be amazing!
Bless by Tone
I think I would really like to draft a good pants pattern or jeans pattern – They just grow out of their jeans so fast …
Laura J.
What a fabulous site! I'd never seen it before. I would like to design a blouse pattern that can be easily made but with lots of customization options.
Sandra
a really cute tunic or dress 🙂
Karen Shaw
My girls wear leggings a lot so a pretty tunic to go with them would be great!
Rebekah
My oldest has some pretty big fit issues; I think she spans four different sizes. I would love to have a good fitting block for her so that I can adjust patterns accordingly. Thanks!<br /><br />rebekahricker (at) yahoo (dot) com

Mmmmm...cookies!
I would love to learn more shirt/bodice skills. or pants or..what a great site. I told Mr. Husband Man that his wife needs those for Mother's Day.
Sharon
Oh, I would love to learn how to draft sleeves! I'm always trying to find another pattern that I already have in the same size to swap out the sleeves (which I don't always have), but it'd be so nice to just be able to draft my own, and make them how I really want them! If I don't win, I'll have to go ahead and buy at least that lesson!

A Jacket/coat pattern would be awesome! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂 <br />

I dont have anything specifically that I'd like to learn to draft, all are equally interesting. I would like to find out how to grade a pattern. Then I dont have to redraft the same ones over and over, is that an option?? <br /><br /><br />mae<br /><br />achristie87 (at) gmail.com

Pants. I have the hardest time finding pants that fit my 6 year old properly. She has a small waist, but mile long legs. This would be so helpful. Especially since evening getting a pattern from the big 3 wouldn't fit properly.<br />Thanks for the giveaway. <br />[email protected]
Buncobuddy
My grandson always needs new pants! It's either because they become short — he's growing like a weed — or the knees wear out! The pants pattern would be great to use to sew him a bunch of pants. Thanks for such a great giveaway!

vernagrace
I just found this site in the last few days, and the concept is pure genius! I have 2 grandchildren and I use commercial patterns, along with some from on line and I can pretty much say I prefer the ones from online. They're very straight forward, photographed, and not all kinds of jargon in every corner to make you wonder what you've missed.<br />I have a 2 year old granddaughter, and a
