Dear Santa,
I've been good this year. Pinky-promise. I've been
buying too many clothes at thrift shops donating to charity and making things for
myself, and on rare occasion, others.
As you're making your list and checking it twice, I hope that you'll discover my name there next to three new patterns from a brand-new independent pattern line, Canada-based
Victory Patterns. (Who doesn't love the Canadians?)
I discovered Victory Patterns through my blog-pal,
Toria. (She kindly requests the
Madeleine. You might want to bring something for her dog, too.)
See, while I'm staying home—
out of trouble—I could really use a comfy, stylish number like the
Lola:

And once Spring comes and it's time to get a little leggy (modestly, of course), what fits the bill better than the
Chloe? (Note the pockets on both of these, Santa: A cure for chilly fingers.)

Most importantly, I want you to know that I'm the kind of gal who believes in the capacity for human beings to do great things, realize their potential. Because of that, I'm always aiming higher than my ability, seeing what I'm made of. And this pattern, dear Santa, could be my Mount Everest in the Spring.
The Anouk features front and back pintucks, fitted yoke, and button detailing leading into a decorative front placket.

I realize this is a last-minute request, so if the elves are swamped and you're forced to stoop to using cash, I just wanted you to know that
Victory Patterns is offering 3 patterns for $25 in their Etsy store.
Thank you, Santa, for considering my plea. And, it's not a bribe, but I want you to know there are homemade cookies that I
didn't make but am happy to share with you and some almond milk (I'm lactose intolerant, my bad).
Merry, merry Christmas to you and the Mrs.
Love, a very, very, very nice girl,
Ali
Hahaha, you're too funny! Glad I could help you find more pattern-y goodness, thanks for adding my request to yours for Santa, I totally forgot (and Bear thanks you too). If it were up to me you'd be getting all three! How's the sock in your bun working out for you? Will you post the results?
ReplyDeleteThe patterns are gorgeous, I love the detailing on the anouk and chloe. Lola just looks so wearable. Definitely one for the wish list. x
ReplyDeleteAli, I nominated you as inspiration for your jeans and jacket making this year over at the Seamless blog. Hope this is okay. Happy new Year x
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! I haven't seen this pattern line before, they are all wonderful! You most certainly deserve them all, and if Santa disagreed, send him my way for a good talking to.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year lovely lady!
