The Spring and Summer 2012 Collection

The Spring and Summer 2012 Collection includes 25 unique custom patterns made, tested, and repeatedly refined by our design team to support the latest fashion trends of the season. This collection includes a number of new features never before available in My Pattern Designer such as the exciting new princess and panel patterns, the floating tier skirts, collarless lapels and more. 

As is often the case, our test team had fun with the patterns, adapting them for other uses and showing just how much variety you can get from every one of these patterns. Kaaren's development of an elegant peignoir from the Pool Coverup pattern is a great example. Dresses were made from the nightgown pattern and tunics were adapted into a variety of comfy tops. With a similar approach, you too can turn these new designs into your own totally original choices.   Tell me more...
