Cool Shop! #2 for January is Clares Place...
Clare's patterns are bright and bubbly, beginner-friendly and quick to sew - what more can a busy sewer ask for?! I received a very generous package in the mail from Clare last month containing each of her six lovely patterns. I know the time and effort that goes into writing patterns, it is tedious work and long hours in front of the computer and Clare's patterns are beautifully written. I particularly love how the instructions are set out clearly and are easy to read and the addition of step-by-step colour photographs is awesome.
Clares Place patterns can be purchased from retail and online stores around Australia. A complete list of stockists can be found here. Clare has also recently decided to sell her patterns in pdf download format for a great price at her online store also.
Take a closer look at some of Clare's patterns...
Jayne's Love is made using Amy Butler's recent range "Love" - so pretty!
I really love her Bubbles & Ruffles pattern...particularly the orange version
FIRST PRIZE - Complete set of six pdf download Clares Place patterns

Nice patterns - and I haven't seen them before either :)
These are beautiful! Exactly the style I have been looking for. I have wanted to have a go at quilting but I really only like modern styles and hadn't seen exactly what I was after. I would love to win this giveaway but if I don't I will definitely buy some of her patterns anyway to make quilts for my two boys! Thank you for the opportunity!

Hi Toni,
Hoping you see this, I've emailed you a few times, started stocking your patterns in my online store not long ago and wanting to do a Sew Along using your Lazy Day Sunhat as the first pattern - have emailed you regarding permission for this but haven't heard, sent them from November onwards - perhaps have gone to your spam folder? Are you able to email me quickly at some point (know your a v busy lady!) on sewaddictivefabrics@gmail.com
Thank you so much! Hazel
What gorgeous patterns - I have 2 little girls who would love to be the proud owners of a gorgeous new quilt. Stunning! xo
I'm with you on the orange ruffle quilt! It's really gorgeous and would be beautiful for a girl who really isn't into pink. Thanks for introducing Clare's patterns - I haven't come across them before.
