Mega Sale Phase One: Patterns 20% off!

After such a good response to my prospective sale post, I'll go for it! I'm going to break it up into three phases rather than bombarding you with the triple sale in a single post. Patterns up first!
I'm going to list a picture of each pattern, a short description (check out my Etsy shop for longer descriptions and more pictures), the normal and sale prices in GBP (and USD for reference), and the number of patterns I currently have in my inventory that are ready to ship. Shipping will be at a flat rate of £1 to UK address (+50p for each additional pattern) and £2 for non-UK addresses (+£1 for each additional pattern). If you do want a pattern but others have snatched it up first, I'll reorder prints and send yours out next week at the sale price. If you'd like to buy something, email me at amanda@kitschycoo.co.uk. Sale closes next Friday!

Puffed sleeve smocky top

Reversible Party Frock

For the little girl who likes to party this retro-style dress has a sleeveless bodice and a very gathered skirt that's perfect for twirling. It has a slit partially down the back and is closed with a looped button closure. It's fully reversible and the option to add a large sash means it's so easy to dress up and down. It looks equally good alone in the summer and with tights and a long-sleeve tee in winter. The pattern includes pieces for 18m/ 2T and 3T/ 4T. I would rate the difficulty as advanced beginner or intermediate.

Mini-Mod dress

This retro-style mod dress has either a box-pleat or three panel front. It is cut in a generous a-line shape with a faced round neckline and armholes. It has a slit partially down the back and is closed with a looped button closure. You can have a lot of fun with this pattern by inserting contrasting fabric in the box-pleat or panel!

Yoga leggings

The pattern includes three choices of leg: a skinny long leg, a cuff, and a mock-button overlapping cuff. The beauty of these leggings, though, is a very tall foldover yoga waistband... no irritating elastic to dig into the waist and the added modesty of being able to wear the band up in the back to fully cover little bottoms. With the fold-down / fold-up waistband and the slightly long slouchy legs, these leggings are designed to provide two years of wear. The pattern includes pieces for 18m/ 2T and 3T/ 4T. I would rate the difficulty as advanced beginner.

Kangaroo Cowl tunic

There are a lot of variations included with this pattern: two choices of necks (a cowl that can be kept tall and slouchy or folded over, and a mock neck that has height but is not folded over), either puffed or standard sleeves, and an optional large kangaroo pocket to the front for storing treasures. Its generous fit is designed to provide two years of wear. For colder months (or as an alternative to a jacket) this is a fabulous pattern to use with fleece, sweatshirting or french terry. If it's for warmer months or layering, jersey, interlock, ribbed / waffle knits give a more drapey fit! The pattern includes pieces for 18m/ 2T and 3T/ 4T. I would rate the difficulty as advanced beginner.

Reversible Matinee jacket

The jacket has a straight up and down shape with an opening down the front and tabbed button closures. It's designed to give two years of wear due to the opening down the front (looks so cute with a poochy belly poking out!) and because the sleeves are cut generously, allowing you to roll up to the contrasting fabric when the child is younger and down as they grown.The pattern includes pieces for 18m/ 2T and 3T/ 4T. I would rate the difficulty as advanced beginner.

Four way reversible swing top

This tutorial explains how to make a reversible swing top that can be worn four ways, with either fabric to the outside, but also with the buttons to the front or to the back! You can have fun with the buttons... a single giant one, two smaller ones, or even a big and a small. It has a swing cut and curved overlaps. Cute on it's own for summer or as a pinafore for winter. The pattern includes pieces for 6-12m, 1-2yr, 2-3yr and 3-4yrs. I would rate the difficulty as advanced beginner or intermediate.

Normal price: £7 or $11.25

Tunic

The tunic has a generous a-line cut and longer length ensuring many seasons of wear. It has a double elastic band at the neckline so it's easy to get on and off (even in full chase mode, as I often do). You can have a lot of fun with this pattern, it can be made long or short sleeved and you can mix your fabrics between sleeves, bodice and neckband. The pattern includes pieces for 6-12m, 1-2yr, 2-3yr and 3-4yrs. I would rate the difficulty as advanced beginner or intermediate.

The Maia Strappy slouch bag

This PDF tutorial explains how to make a Maia strappy slouch bag. There are instructions included to draft two sizes: big and slouchy or medium but generous. It is a celebration of straps. A long adjustable one that means you can wear it across your body or just over a shoulder, there is a strap that goes under the bag from metal ring to metal ring, and two shorter ones that run over the base onto the sides. They're all lined with contrasting fabric for peeking. The top of the bag has a zippered closing to keep all of your bits safe, it's lined with contrasting fabric and has an integral zippered pocket for segregating super precious bits. The base is a separate rectangular piece that gives it more structure than a typical slouchy bag. THIS IS A PDF. I would rate the difficulty as advanced beginner or intermediate.
