That's why we created the 'Polar Sweater/Dress' pattern - to make sure you look great and feel cozy no matter the weather!

Size it up…..a bit.
I wanted to give you some tricks on how to add a few sizes to a pattern that is now too small.
The Sandfly Sheet Protector
This pattern is personal to me and is motivated by the desire to give my growing girls the comfort and protection they need as they navigate into womanhood. Some girls are super excited and just can't wait for their period and others dread or even fear this new stage. The last thing they want is embarrassing stains on their sheets or mattress.

Juniper
This pattern comes as either a completely reversible peplum shirt, or as a knee length dress. The front bodice boasts clean lines and a slight boatneck neckline.
