Big Announcement: Introducing the Ruffled Begonia {and a double Giveaway!}

sewing pattern for ruffle bag

Giveaway has closed!
i’m so excited to let you all in on a little secret….errr…project i’ve been working on. 
i started a pattern shop called  
The Ruffled Begonia!!! wahoo!
it’s something i’ve been tossing back and forth for awhile. and thanks to my good friend and mentor, Scotti, i opened The Ruffled Begonia about a month ago. i was hoping to get at least 3 patterns done before i told you lovelies about my new shop. but mommy life happened and only two are done. but i am really excited about the 2 patterns that are done!

ruffled breastfeeding apron

being a breastfeeding mom myself, i wanted a cover that was both stylish and functional. so i designed this Ruffled Nursing Cover. it is lined and has plenty of coverage. i have a couple more designs for nursing covers that i plan to create patterns for {whenever i get the time!!} .

bag with ruffles

i {heart} ruffles! and this bag is rufflicious!! this is the perfect little bag to grab on your way out the door. this bag can be made using fat quarters for the ruffles.

***i will be giving away “Party Favors” from the Ruffled Begonia later today. so check back and act fast if you want one!!***

    I love that bag, but I rarely see any patterns for LARGER diaper bags, so that would be a pattern I would want to see. I love that Layla bag, too, so I would want that sample.

    Congrats on the Ruffled Begonia (cute name, by the way)!

    I absolutely love both patterns! With ruffles, what's not to love?! Though with a 3rd wee one due in May for our family, I would love to win the cover!

    Love the ruffles! I would love to see a ruffle inspired diaper bag – cute and functional.

    As a nursing mom, I would love, LOVE your nursing cover. Sew cute! Couldn't help the pun – I'm an English teacher. =)
