May 01, 2009

This is a the season for a lot of NEW things from me. New patterns, new sizes in some of my old patterns, and a new design for my pattern covers!

I decided to do a updated cover for the Bella pants in my new style because the old one really bugged me. It's also my 1 year Pink Fig Patterns Anniversary this month so I'm doing a MEGA GIVEAWAY! Check below for details



You would not believe what I had to go through to get this shot! First let's start off with what I did on Tuesday. I had a chemical peel and it was pretty hard core. My face is totally peeling off right now so when I go out I have slap on a ton of aquaphor to keep it from...well scaring people. From the second we got out of the car all flying bugs were attracted to my face and they would stick to it because of the aquaphor! I had a moth on my cheek that I could not get off. EWE!

Second, the models were being sooo girly. There was some fake laughing, real crying, non-stop wiggling, and then finally we had some fun for about 5 minutes before the sun went down and it got cold. Out of 150 shots I only got 1 shot that was pattern cover worthy! What I thought turned out to be a disaster, ended up just fine. I love it when that happens.

Now for the 1 year Pink Fig Patterns Anniversary Giveaway!!!

Leave a comment on this post. Nothing special...just tell me what you like about my patterns or if you aren't a sewer comment on my designs, blog, pictures, playlist, whatever! You will then be entered in a drawing to win the items listed below:
  • 1 of each of my patterns. That is 14 patterns total retailing at $150!!! (If you don't sew, give them to your mom, grandma, or whoever it is that sews and tell them to make you some stuff:)
  • A Pink Fig Patterns office kit: Mouse Pad, Pen, Note Pad, Calender Magnet, and a mug! lol! I order all of this stuff for fun and they turned out really cute!
  • Your choice of one of the outfits pictured above custom made in the size of your choice from 6 months to 10 years. The outfit will be made in the fabrics pictured above or you can choose some fabric from my ETSY shop.
I will also be offering this same gift basket to ONE of my lucky customers who places an order at Quilt Market!

This is my last post until after Market. I'll be back May 19th with a Quilt Market Post for you:)

Beautiful work. I am attempting to sew my 2.5-year-old's entire summer wardrobe. Daunting, at best.

I really like that your patterns are not just frilly but so fun too!! I understand about your pic time with the girls, I have two girls just about the same age. Lots of fun huh? Mine are great and love to pose in their new mama made clothes! Thanks for the chance to win some great gifts.

well, you know i love your patterns and creations and taste in tunage (and your relation to people who make killer bags and fabric designs), but more than all this i just love YOU and your sweet, gorgey self.

have a glorious time at QM!

Carlie said...

Yay! Can't wait to try these pants. I love your patterns and have used a few so far. I love that you use a lot of shirring. It's so easy once you get the hang of it and it looks so custom!

Lianne said...

Hey there!
I love your patterns because they are well written for the "pattern challenged"...ME!!!... I can't follow a regular pattern to save my life...I also love for my girlies to wear unique clothing, not what everyone else has on!!!
Thanks, and keep 'em comin'!!
Hugs...

Hey hey! Your patterns and designs are eye candy! Love the bold patterned fabrics you use and the different fabric textures, very daring and quite out of the 'traditional' box. Really enjoy the feminity of the clothing designs, any young lady wearing your clothing will feel beautiful!

amy anderson said...

Well, I have been searching high and low for pink fig patterns. I am very new to the sewing experience..lol..meaning I havent sewn anything yet! i have been tracking down your patterns though trying to study some things and fabric combinations. I have searched through tons and tons of patterns (not much time so when I do make something I want to make sure its perfect) and when I found Pink Fig I said "finally. this is it!" I cannot hardly sleep at night for dreaming about fabric and these adorable outfits and your girls sure do them justice! Thank you for creating the patterns for us! amy

I love that picture b/c your girls not only look adorable but they look like they know it and they like it! How wonderful it is to know that I am blessed enough to be able to make my daughter clothes that make her feel special. I know other moms feel the same way! It's worth all of the early mornings and late nights getting it made!

Kimber said...

Your designs are adorable! I have two girls and just inherited an old Singer from my Grandma and I cannot wait to make these outfits for my girls! Great contest too by the way!

Chadwick Family said...

Darling! I am so excited I just came across your blog. It's hard to find boutique style patterns in my small town and I am in love with your designs! I have five daughters and I began to sew mostly because I couldn't afford the adorable boutique style clothing I wanted for them. I have now found my favorite hobby and hope to sew one of your patterns soon!

Mandy said...

Hi!!

I just started sewing for my 6 year old daughter who is tall and skinny! It is so hard to find clothes that fit her. My daughter and I love your designs so much! You are truly a creative genius!

barefootquilting said...

Chelsea,
I was just talking about you in the quilt shop the other day. I was telling several women where they could find you on Etsy. I have many of your patterns and absolutely adore them! Keep up the good work hon.

Okay, I am DROOLING over Pink FIg's yummy give-away! I have a tiny girlybug who would look adorable in these patterns! I'm a beginner sewer who has been waiting for an excuse to try these pretty patterns -and winning them for free is the best reason in the world! Pink FIg patterns mix and match so many prints and colorful fabrics, not just one or two like everyone else! They fit how they should, they can be dressed up or down for any occasion, and everything coordinates with other Pink Fig patterns for fun sets! It's its own wardrobe!! Thank you for thinking of such an exciting way to share your 1st Anniversary with us! Khattie

I am in LOVE with everything. I love clothes that capture the innocence of children. I want my little girls to look like little girls not teenagers! I love a classic look with bright funky fabric, and you have it all! So thanks for making such wonderful patterns. I hope to order quite a few of your patterns soon!

Just found your patterns at a store this past weekend. What a treasure! I have twin grandchildren, 26 month-old boy and girl, and cannot wait to use your patterns for Little Miss Priss. She already loves to dress up and wear a tu-tu, so I know she would love wearing your designs.

I have recently decided to take up sewing again for my girls ages 3 and 7... while searching on Etsy for handmade patterns I came across your Pink Fig Patterns... I blurted across the room to my husband that as soon as I get paid I MUST order up some Pink Fig. Your patterns are adorable, the fabric is adorable and I'm so happy to have found you.

Ellie said...

Wow!! I love your patterns! I've been trying to figure out which one I'd want to try first. To get them all would just be to die for! Thanks for the chance.

Lindsay said...

I am SO excited to find your page. I just so happened to purchase one of your patterns yesterday, from the Sewing room. How funny is that, then I ran across your site via someones blog. Then I read your "about me" section and decided it was meant to be. I say this because, I had a little girl 14 months ago and have been trying with all my might to learn how to sew. My Mom lives several hours away, and I don't see her as often as I would like...she wants to help me learn. Then there is my grandmother who is fantastic and can make anything (she's who I am sending the pattern I bought to) but she also lives hours (8) away...so no help there either. So I have decided to save every penny and buy a Janome, because not only is it a great machine...they offer free sewing lessons :) COULDN'T be happier! Sorry, I'm not sure why I am telling you all of this!?! I guess, you gave me hope and inspired me. No matter what is going on in your life. Thank you so much. And congrats on your Hubby and school. Hope you have a great week!!

Holly Smith said...

Wow! Your patterns are just beautiful and unique, I'm so happy that you've developed your talents in this way. Congratulaions on your first year of business!

Love,

Auntie Holly

Judy in MO said...

I just recently found your patterns and am totally in love. They are just precious and I've purchased several already. I'm now looking for that "just right" fabric.

Thank you for sharing your glorious talent.

I absolutely positively LOVE your patterns. They are so groovy-cute. I have 2 very girly girls, 7 & 9, who just love me to sew for them too!

Amber said...

I am new to sewing, but I have your twirl skirt pattern and I love it...it is so easy. I also love that I don't have a bunch of pattern pieces to keep up with. I am still learning where to get good patterns and fabric lines and such...but I am so glad I finally found you.

The Bellina Family said...

Hi Chelsea! I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your patterns (do you ever get tired of hearing that??)! I have a daughter, Lila, who is 3 and I learned to sew for her. It is now my favorite thing to do!! Thanks so much for creating new and beautiful patterns for all of the girly girls out there. :-)
