To be honest, the most rewarding thing about launching Indiesew has been meeting awesome people. Hundreds of emails and countless phone calls have resulted in some solid connections with people I can truly call my friends. Lauren Dahl from Baste + Gather is no exception. In fact, Lauren and I completely connected from our first phone call. Kindred spirits, I tell you. I’d like to move to Salt Lake City and sew with this woman. All day, every day.

And because Lauren is such an awesome woman, she, of course, is doing awesome things. She is the brilliant mind behind Pattern Workshop, an online class that teaches aspiring designers to create digital patterns. Pattern Workshop is garnering stellar reviews from top sewing bloggers. Check them out! And now, Lauren is launching her own line of women’s sewing patterns called Selvage Designs.

We are thrilled to announce that Selvage Design's first pattern, The Foxglove Tank (modeled by Lauren below), will be exclusively sold on Indiesew for the first two weeks of its launch! Selvage Design’s patterns embody the Indiesew brand. Her pieces have modern silhouettes that function well in in the real world. And since she's the expert in the digital pattern arena, we knew Lauren’s pattern quality would be top notch. We weren’t wrong.







This past weekend I was able to test out The Foxglove Tank pattern and was so impressed by the quality of Lauren’s drafting. This pattern was one of the quickest that I’ve printed, taped, traced and cut out. The instructions are clear and concise. The overall sewing experience with Lauren’s pattern felt easy and enjoyable.



This racerback tank is a comfortable wardrobe staple that can be dressed up or down. Both knits and wovens are suitable for this pattern, making it one that you can easily make several times. I’m working on my second this week!



The Foxglove Tank will be coming your way in the next few weeks, along with lots of inspiration for your own racerback creation. A “How We Wear It” post will accompany the pattern launch along with pattern giveaways!
