One Thimble Issue 12

Now that things have calmed a bit around here from getting the Satya Pants released, it’s time to talk about the other pattern I released.  I contributed the Calla Lily Crop Top* to One Thimble Issue 12*.

First let’s chat about One Thimble.  It’s a sewing e-magazine, so very similar to a physical sewing magazine you might pick up at your local fabric shop, but this one is in digital format.  It contains 10 sewing patterns, and many tutorial and great articles.

The sewing patterns included are:

• #111 Dress by Thread Faction
• Oswald, Pond and Williams Bow Ties by Paraplu
• Cozumel Shirt by Winter Wear Designs
• Calla Lily Crop Top by Jennuine Design (hey that’s me!)
• Brook Blossom Skirt by Orange Daisy Patterns
• Girl’s Brook Blossom Skirt by Orange Daisy Patterns
• Darling Daisy Bag by Molly and Mama
• Melbourne Romper by Jilly Atlanta
• Azure Party Dress by Ainslee Fox Boutique Patterns
• Flutterby Kite by Molly and Mama

I am going to try to sew as many of the patterns in the issue as I am able.  I already have two adorable #111 dresses finished and just need to photograph, and I have fabrics and pattern ready for an epic Azure Party Dress.

The Calla Lily Crop Top is for girls’ sizes 2T to 12 years.  It features a waist-skimming high-low hem with a button closure in the back which can be made as a visible or hidden placket.  Fully lined, it can be sleeveless or with shaped cap sleeves.  A cute little design element are pleats or gathers at the front shoulder, or you can make a plain top.  It can even be made reversible!

Here’s a fun little slideshow with some of the tester versions.

It’s been a great experience contributing to One Thimble.  Jen is supremely easy to work with and the process for publishing appears to be well-oiled and professional.  The photos by Poetic Light Photography are just stunning!  I want to replicate this top for the girls – I know they’d love it, especially if I added lace trim to the hem, which is an option in the pattern.

I highly recommend picking up Issue 12 and any of the prior issues.  25 AUD converts to about $19.25/divided by ten patterns and you’ve got a bargain at $2/pattern.  And that’s not even factoring in the articles and tutorials that are included.  So hop on over and pick up your copy*!
