The Julia Jacket {New PDF Pattern}

Hi friends! The day is finally here! The Spring Patterns are done! Well they will be shared over the next couple days anyway. I have to admit, having 3 kids is kicking my butt. I absolutely love them, but wow three is way harder than two, especially when the two that I had were pretty self entertained. So instead of doing a mass unveiling, the patterns that I have been working on for almost a year now are going to be unveiled much slower. They have consumed every second of free time for the past few months and I am kind of excited to release them. So first up is the Julia Jacket Pattern!

Asymmetric cross over jacket with pockets, buttons, and it is fully lined so it could easily be reversible as well.

The jacket has a slight flare to it to give it a fun and feminine line. It could be worn as a top, or as a light Jacket.

It also includes a short sleeve option, as well as a tie across the chest option to up the girl factor even more. Abbey loves her purple and pink version the best… she is so girly

The tie option gives the jacket almost a kimono type feel to it.

Both versions are perfect for spring, or could even be made with warmer fabric for cooler weather. It’s really versatile and with the full lining you could mix prints and solids to create two looks in one.

Also in shop news (remember I said changes were coming) I am re-working all of my first patterns many that were in very limited sizes. I am extending the sizes so that the shop is all to the same standard and for the patterns that are split into two size groups they will be combined into one pattern. With this there will be new pattern pricing. A lot of work goes into these patterns and I have learned a lot as I have grown the shop. So New Patterns (included recently released patterns) are now $9.00 which will be all of the new pricing going forward. There are still “bundle prices” which have changed a bit as well.

Now you save a percentage based on how much you purchase:

Buy 2 patterns Save 20% Use code: BUY2

Buy 3 patterns Save 30% Use code: BUY3

Buy 4 patterns Save 40% Use code: BUY4

Buy 5 patterns Save 50% Use code: BUY5

Also in the most exciting news, all of the old patterns will be on sale for $5.00 until the updated version in new sizes, and some with updated style features are re-released.

That is a BEAUTIFUL jacket. I've got to ask: are any of the upcoming patterns unisex or boyish? It's ridiculous, but I have one niece, my own little boy toddler, and FOUR nephews. And all of my friends have boys. It's crazy!

1) I really like the asymetry of this jacket. cute and funky<br />2) I think $9 is a very fair price.<br />3) I also was amazed at how much harder everything is with 3 kiddos. But I have found mine as added just as much fun as trouble. 😀 (my third turns two this Sat.)<br /><br />~Major Moma

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one getting my butt kicked with three kids! #3 has definitely been the biggest challenge for me to adjust to. But you're obviously doing better than me releasing 3 patterns and all the other things going on! Way to go!
