Clearly I'm not the only one who's caught the sewing with knits bug! Who can ever have too many t-shirts? Straight Stitch Designs just released the Montlake Tee! It's a beginner-friendly pattern for a classy t-shirt with a scoop neck and multiple sleeve length options, that will look and feel great no matter where your day takes you.

Colette Phoebe Dress
Colette released their third and final pattern of the year, the Phoebe Dress. It looks like an instant hit to me - so versatile as far as season, style, and fabric - a real classic. The samples for the pattern release were mostly very winter/holiday-friendly, but I'm really enamored with the denim version and could see that being a great year-round staple. And I have to mention Jaime from Fancy Tiger Crafts' Pendleton wool plaid Phoebe, it could not be a more perfect holiday dress!

Megan Nielsen's new children's collection is out!
Megan Nielsen has been teasing us with peeks at her upcoming children's collection for months now, and they're finally available! It's so nice to see kids clothes for girls that are the perfect balance of cute (but not overly frilly) and modern. Here's the whole children's collection (the patterns also come in a discounted bundle), which features mini versions of her popular adult patterns:
The Virginia leggings The Briar sweater and tee The Tania culottes
She's got a blog post up with loads of photos and ideas on how to customize and style the finished garments, and she also just posted the first of a series of more detailed posts on how to style and modify the patterns, starting with the mini Briar top.
