I’ve just manufactured my second sewing pattern!

I’m so excited about the arrival of my Bon Vivant car stuffie patterns from Simplicity! I got to collaborate on this with Leslie Asch! For more of my Bon Vivant fabrics

My sweet neighbor Sam agreed to pose as our model and he was cracking us up by yelling “Vroom and Cheese” while playing with the first sample!

I asked Cathy at The City Quilter www.cityquilter.com if someone on her staff would like to test our pattern and Nancy created the sample below using fabric from Timeless Treasures.

Many Thanks to both Cathy and Nancy for their feedback! They suggested we simplify the the base for easier assembly so we came up with a modification which you can see below:

Sam’s Mom Bess told me that the sample I gave him is now parked in his crib so I think that’s one of the best compliments yet!!

You can find this pattern at The City Quilter 133 West 25th St. New York and at Pink Chalk Fabrics 9723 Coopertop Loop Suite 205 Bainbridge Island, WA. or on their website  www.pinkchalkfabrics.com/index.php?main_page=index&Path=39_75_742 Enjoy!
