I’m pretty sure that in all the excitement of Winning this years Stitcher’s Guild 2012 SWAP I forgot to mention that the first prize was $100 worth of HotPatterns.
It did take me a while to select these and I have just received them (well after 3 weeks holiday) and here they are:
- Denim Diva Biker Babe Jacket
- Artful Dodger Virtue Dress
- Weekender Chilled-Out Sweat Suit
- Weekend It’s a Wrap Top and Dress
- HP 1033 Plain & Simple Fitted T Redux
- Classix Nouveau Sportive Skirt Suit
- HP 1137 Riveria Summer Breeze Sleeveless Tops
This pattern line is completely new to me so I will be interested to see what changes I need to do for the fit I like.
With all the Spring/Summer fashions that are appearing at present, what will I make first the:
- Weekend It’s A Wrap Dress, or
- Riveria Summer Breeze Sleeve Top with the tie front?
But first I need to finish up a couple of UFO’s

Wow what a fantastic prize! I would selfishly like you to make up the summer breeze top pattern. I haven't tried any of the HP styles yet, but if I did this one would be my pick. So a review would be mighty helpful heh heh!

I look forward to your posts about these. I am also small and haven't had any luck with the few Hot Patterns I've tried… would love to get some tips on how to make it work!

Wow – great haul! You will enjoy these. I have had mixed feelings about HP but I think some of it was my inexperience.
