This is such an exciting time for me, a great mix of stress and joy, to announce the opening of the new shop! I’ve been working on a new page for almost one year and I couldn’t be happier to share it with you.
In this new online store, you’ll find all the Pauline Alice patterns in print and PDF, just like before. But there are some big changes as well: fabrics and haberdashery! They go hand-in-hand with the patterns and I’ve been curating a great selection for some time now. You’ll find beautiful and timeless fabrics, most of them in certified natural materials and a nice selection of supplies to make all our patterns.
Now you can get your pattern and all you’ll need to make it in one place! I hope you’ll have a lot of fun choosing your fabrics and supplies and even more later sewing your garments.
Some practical info:
- If you already have an account, you’ll need to ask for a new password to access it. We don’t store private information so we were able to transfer your account with your address and your downloads but not your password. All your previously ordered patterns are available under “my previous downloads”.
- Fabric is sold by multiples of 25 cm.
- Supplies are sold by unit or by meter (cords, elastic and webbing).
- Just like before, we ship worldwide. I’ve also added a new shiiping method with tracking. You have the possibility to choose shipping with Correos (spanish national mail) without tracking for packages under 2 kg and Seur with tracking.
- Any questions, feel free to send me an email at info@paulinealicepatterns.com, I’ll be happy to help.
This fabric I actually had before but I think it would look beautiful paired with the Camà dress pattern. It would make a very romantic dress. How about changing the shirt collar for a peter pan collar for a more 1950’s retro look? It’s a cotton poplin with a nice drape, a little bit of stretch and it’s very soft to the touch.
Gingham of course! There were 3 pattern testers versions made of gingham and they looked amazing. This one has bigger squares and would make such a cute summer dress with the short sleeves (very Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz!). There is a lot of variations possible: how about playing with the grainline for some pattern pieces? Or changing the skirt for a circle skirt?
With its basic dirndl skirt (2 rectangles gathered at the waist), the Camà dress allows you to play with borders. I found this white cotton-linen blend with blue flowers stripes and a larger stripe border that would look nice at the hem line. As a spring/summer version it would be so pretty and breathable, yet not too prone to wrinkle thanks to the cotton percentage.
Finally, this is the fabric I am going to use for the Sew-Along. It’s a cotton fabric with little blue, red, yellow and green flowers. I will make the collar and cuffs in contrasting fabric: white cotton sateen. The one I have is a bit on the heavy side but it will do.
