We're rather excited to introduce the latest Muse pattern - the Sophie cardigan! Sophie is a cute, sporty cardigan, perfect for wearing with skirts, dresses or trousers. A fitted style, which curves gently in at the waist and flares out again over your hips. The cardigan sits at the high hip, making Sophie work just as well with trousers as with dresses. Inspired by the gorgeous Sophie-Lee (who blogs over at Two Random Words), the Sophie cardigan can look dressy, classic, or casual, depending on the fabric and style mix that you make up. (Plus, it has a v neck option, which Sophie-Lee has been asking me for for a while now. Finally, here's your pattern, Sophie-Lee! ;-) There are...
Hello everyone! Remember when the Knit Sleeve Pack was launched, we promised the full sale price (less bank fees) for the first week of sales was going to be donated to Kids Can, a charity chosen by one of our Muses? Well, we're pleased to say that we've just tallied up how much that was and made a donation on behalf of you all! Want to know how much it was? We just donated USD $54 (which works out to NZD $72.80) to Kids Can. Yay! A big thank-you to everyone who purchased a pack in that first week, and contributed to the donation. You all rock! :-) (PS have you made anything using the Knit Sleeve Pack yet? We'd...
Here at Muse, we love to make patterns as versatile as possible. Giving you lots of options so there are several ways to make each design, meaning you can pick the elements that you like best and get the most value from your patterns by making them multiple times in multiple different ways. Since we love versatility, here's a new idea we've been playing with - mini pattern packs to mix-and-match with existing patterns! This is the first mini pattern pack - a set of sleeve designs that can work with any of the Muse knit patterns with set-in sleeves. (Currently they'll work with the Jenna, Natalie and Gillian patterns. They'll work with other patterns we release in the future as well.) With four sleeve...
A big thank-you to everyone who supported the first week of the Melissa dress, skirt and blouse pattern.
As promised, the full sale price (less bank fees) of all sales of the Melissa pattern during that first week are being donated to the Life Flight air ambulance and air rescue, a charity chosen by the muse who inspired the Melissa pattern.
And we're happy to say $275 was raised for Life Flight! (Which translates to $365 in New Zealand dollars.) We're making that donation right now. :-)
We hope you all enjoy your Melissa pattern, and we're looking forward to seeing what people make with it!
Say a big 'hello' to Melissa - the new addition to the Muse collection! Melissa is a wonderfully versatile pattern - make it as a dress, as a blouse, or as a skirt! The Melissa dress is a sleek shirt dress, ending just above the knee. The blouse ends just above the hip. The skirt sits at the natural waist. Double princess seams at front and back, originating at the shoulder and extending to the hem, bring a touch of 1940’s elegance. V-shaped pocket openings on the bodice and skirt, a V-shaped inset between the shoulder blades, and short sleeves with cuffs that rise into a gentle point all add to the subtle 1940’s influence. Slim pockets on the skirt are...
