Happy 2016! We hope your sewing year is going fantastically so far. ;-)At Muse, we thought we'd kick off the new year with a new mini pattern - an expansion pack for the popular Jenna cardi.Many of you have asked for a vee neck variation for the Jenna and now, here it is. Plus, there's also a variation for a narrow Peter Pan style collar. Mix and match the expansion pack with all of the original Jenna options for a total of 36 different styles! Like vee necklines? This pack contains all you need to make your Jenna cardigan with a vee neckline. New front bodice pieces are included for both the plain-shouldered Jenna, and the shoulder yokes variation.

Hello everyone, and welcome to 2016!
Muse started the new year with some rather exciting news - the Jenna cardi pattern was the runner-up for the cardigan pattern of the year on the Curvy Sewing Collective (CSC) blog. 25% of CSC readers voted it as their favourite cardigan pattern - which we think is pretty good, since Muse is still quite young!
A huge thank-you to the CSC and to everyone who loved the Jenna enough to vote for it. :-)
Have you made a Jenna cardi? We'd love to see it! Email us (hello@sewingmuse.com) to tell us about it, and we'll add it to the Made By You page so everyone can see your creation.
A huge thank-you to everyone who entered the Sew Mama Sew giveaway! It was great reading your comments, and hearing why you'd choose particular patterns. And especially thanks to everyone who told us what you'd like to see from Muse in the future - so much fun hearing your ideas!
And now, it's time to draw the winners....
The first name drawn is... Mary, who chose the Jenna cardi.
And the second winner is... Karen B, who chose the Tahi skirt.
Congratulatons Mary and Karen B! We'll be in touch very soon with your prize. Happy sewing everyone!

Firstly, a huge thank-you to everyone who entered the Muse Loves Merino contest! It was so much fun seeing what everyone made (and I'll admit it - there were quite a few pieces I want to add to my own wardrobe, haha!) It was hard to choose the winners - I wish we could have given all of you a prize, but sadly there were only three lengths of merino to give out this time.... And now for the big question - who won? The Dresses prize The winner of the Dresses prize (a lovely length of dark teal blue merino with matching thread) is.... Jenny! Who made a gorgeous version of the Natalie dress. Such lovely styling, it gives the...
