Pink Chalk Fabrics is welcoming Spring with fresh patterns and LOTS of new fabric. This week I decided to highlight some of our downloadable pattern designers. We carry 229 designs that are available for instant download. Everything from simple bags to stylish clothing designs complete with full scale pattern sheets.
Sis Boom patterns by Jennifer Paganelli and Carla Hegeman Crim have been with us since the beginning. We love the upscale designs and extremely well-written and illustrated instructions.
Besides designing some of the CUTEST bags on the planet, Keyka Lou allows you to make and sell items from her patterns. Carrie has made several of these designs, they sew up nicely and are quick to make.
More fabulous new downloads:
We’ll be giving 7 lucky winners their choice of one of these patterns. Good luck!

I’ve bought a sample from Keyka Lou, and it was sewn very nicely. She’s on my list of pattern makers to try!
ooooohhhhhh! Wow! I love the new patterns and would love to make something bright for my daughter – spring is here!
I love the Sherbet Dreams pattern…
I love the Kitchen Delight Apron Pattern.
Love that Jamie dress!
Just wanted to say that I LOVE the little ninjas pattern you featured in the newsletter — super cute
Enjoy looking at the fabrics, and like the patterns available.
I need motivation to get sewing again, life’s been kind of hectic. Keeping my fingers crossed for a win as that diva dress is super cute and looks easy!
I can see the many options for fabric on Keyka Lou’s purses and clutches. The pattern and fabrics of these features makes me want to run barefoot!
My question is when you download a pattern, how do you print it off big enough?
When the pattern is full-sized it is presented on separate sheets of paper that get taped together using register marks provided. You then cut out the pattern piece.
I’ve made a Sis Boom pattern myself and it was a very enlightening experience as to how these pattern work. Having made tissue patterns for years I loved the process of being able to print my daughter’s size, tape and cut.
I then printed, taped and cut the pattern in a size for me. Something you can not do with tissue patterns that are multi-sized.
Also great when you have to make sizing adjustments and want to start over!
Many sewists trace their tissue patterns in order to have this flexibility. Downloadables make it easy.
The only step that is an additional step is the taping. You have to cut out the pattern no matter what
Ooooh, I’d love to win Sherbet Dreams! (Of course, then I’d have to buy the fabric!)
beautiful new fabrics
lots of wonderful patterns!
wow hope I win … enjoy your blog… thanks for sharing …. RLH

I never own a pattern before. It would be great if I win this one. Thanks !!!
How is it that everything you post is always so adorable? Always!! I love, love, love all of the cute little dresses pictured in this post.
The Jamie and Marissa dresses are adorable!
Kathy – you really know how to entice us to buy more fabric! Darling bubble dress would surely be an Easter hit!

Love those bag patterns!
Love the Jamie Dress! My husband keeps telling me I should start making my own clothes (I just laugh at him!)…but this pattern looks totally awesome!
Oooh, I have a couple of these patterns on my Wish List! Thanks for the chance to win.
Thanks for the giveaway. There is probably a dress I would enjoy wearing.
Very cute patterns.

I was debating whether or not to purchase the Jamie dress pattern–does anyone know if they run pretty true to size?
Also, this is the first I’ve seen of the Kate Conklin Sherbet Dreams pattern–too cute!
Very nice. I’m crazy about Sherbet Pips and about Kate Conklin–seeing them together is a treat.
I love the colors of the new fabric, great spring colors make me want to start sewing now.
I love these patterns, so cute!
you highlighted some really great patterns!
I love the clutch pattern!
I love the wrist bag!!! That is adorable, and I bet it goes together quickly.
I love the SisBoom patterns. I have been using them for the past two years. They do a great job at explaining things within the instructions and they are super cute.
I really like all the spring fabrics and projects.
I was thinking about buying the Jamie Dress pattern earlier in the week, but I guess I’ll have to wait and see if I win first. I’d love to sew it as my first dress.
Adorable patterns and fabrics, too! Just recently found your blog and fabric website. My first order arrived so quickly and the fabrics are lovely. Thanks so much!
Going to be hard to pick just one! I love the fresh new ideas for children’s clothing…so boutique-ish!

Hi,
This is the first time I have ever really explored your fabric and pattern site and I was very impressed and saw many things I would like.
As a doll maker, I especially liked looking at all the Melly & Me patterns and the Wee Wonderfuls. And of course all the fun fabric.
I will return after I have done my taxes.
Susan
I wish the Melly & Me patterns were e-patterns as they are a little expensive right now. And they appear pretty simple and easily converted to e patterns. Susan
What a fun give-away! The patterns are charming.
Awesome patterns!!
what great patterns! Thanks for the great giveaways!
