Urban Kimono Sneek Peek!

So we have been pretty busy here at heidiandfinn - sorry for the lack of new posts! :)
we are working on creating some really great stuff for our new store http://www.heidiandfinnstudio.etsy.com/

Also we are preparing for our first clothing trade show in september, we hope all our canadian fans that are in ontario will stop by and say hi, we will have lots of goodies to see, lots of OOAK and limited production clothing to browse, lots of new accessories and bedding, and of course some great deals on heidiandfinn pdf patterns (CD packages). But more info on that later......

Sooooo.... we will probably be a bit slower on producing new patterns...hope you all understand

But We have been working on some things...and for a quick sneek peek, here is the latest pattern that will be available by the end of the week:

The Urban Kimono

a REALLY comfy and cute sweater that is super quick to make! a bit longer in length so it makes a great tunic and keeps their little tushes warm in cold months. it can be shortened to make are more traditional sweater the hits at the hip - both look super cute. And since there are no buttons, ties or snaps - it makes this a really great option for little ones that want to dress themselves, just pop over their head, or step into it!

anyway - hope you all like it

we are also working on the bubble dress pattern, since we have had so many requests (we are  glad you all like it so much 'cause we love it too! ), we will keep you posted on this one

thanks again everyone - and remember the photo contest is ongoing - so keep taking great photos of your creations and sending them our way, you never know - it could get you some free patterns !
