The last few weeks have been a whirlwind. Thankfully, all the sewing patterns were sent to production last week, and I'm well on my way with finishing Carta Bella's summer releases. By the way, did you see our beach line Beach Boardwalk and our new Giddy Up lines? Serious awesomeness, if I do say so myself.
The sewing patterns you will see in the shop around May 15th. We should have information for retailers and distributors on the site this coming week. Thank you to those that have already emailed and called in for these new patterns! If you are a retailer and need access to the wholesaler site, please email Susan at susan@carinagardner.com. I am so excited by the response and hyped to show them at Quilt Market! We will have five new patterns—3 doll patterns and 2 beginner sewer patterns. I plan on incorporating the beginner sewing patterns in the Mom and Me Crafting Co. Class that Siri (my nine-year old) and I are teaching this summer. It's going to be so fun!
Speaking of classes, it's the last week to register for Template Design! I'm thrilled to be teaching a class like this since it incorporates a number of different techniques that I have never taught online before. I'm especially excited to be showing you how I create interesting shapes like banners and brackets. It's so useful whether you are just making invited for your kids or making a logo. (FYI, image to the right from my instagram feed this last weekend.)
Will pop in soon with some sneaky peekys!
