The newest addition to the Pollywoggles collection is one that I'm super excited introduce you too... the Kokanee Hoodie!  This one of those wardrobe staples that makes great use of one of my favorite fabrics, beautiful fuzzy Fleece.  Check out the colorblocking options that allow you to mix & match solids and prints to your heart's content, and imagine what you can do with this great scrap buster!

When the weather turns toward winter, our whole family gets cozy in our fleece housecoats!  Whether you might call them robes or dressing gowns or perhaps bathrobes... but they all mean the same thing: comfort.  This new update to the Pollywoggles pattern collection, Fundy, is all about being cozy! 

This is the time of year when I want to sew ALL the pajamas!  Flannel and fleece are both on sale and our family has already seen the first snow flurries of the season outside our windows.  I know other people are also thinking about sewing up Christmas pajamas for their families, and I got thinking 'Hey, wouldn't it be great if someone made a huge list of PJ patterns so people could browse through to find the perfect one?'  Then I realized... I'm someone!  I already had a pretty big list of pattern options I liked for my own family, all I needed to do was organize it and find more.  So... the pajama pattern hunt began...

My list grew from big... to huge... to EPIC!  In this post, you will find over 80 patterns for the whole family in every style and fabric you could hope for!  Pajama party time!

Sometimes, it's just a simple change that makes a design feel completely new.  That's exactly how I feel about the latest addition to the Pollywoggles Pattern Collection!  

It can't be a surprise to many of you that I love woven fabrics.  I love the stability and precision.  While my heart is easily captured by bright cottons and yarn-dyed linens, there are some things that are just more comfortable and casual when made with a stretchy knit instead.  Sleeves, for example.  Which brings me to the most exciting new feature of the newly updated Gaspe pattern... a faux-layered knit long sleeve!

For our family, summer begins the first time we hit the beach!  Near to our home is a beautiful lake with clean water and a sandy bottom, perfect for swimming.  The shoreline weaves and curves against rocky outcrops and shallow inlets and calls us to grab our paddles and kayaks to go exploring.  My kids have been swimming pretty much since they've been walking.  Their love for water also includes pools and water parks, and splash pads are always a hit!  Water means PLAY.  And with all the many water activities out there, I really wanted to design a swimsuit for those kids that can spend the day at the beach and still ask for more!  With that in mind, let me introduce you to Nahanni.
