Girl Charlee Fabrics :: NEW Sewing Patterns from Imagine Gnats


Girl Charlee is pleased to announce the arrival of several new sewing patterns from Imagine Gnats. From tops to skirts to dresses to cardigans, Imagine Gnats has it all. These patterns are unique and yet so simple to follow that all sewists, beginner or expert, will enjoy sewing them. One of my personal favorites is the Tumble Tee. This color blocked tee is the perfect opportunity to mix fabric colors and patterns in such a fun way. Here is a little more information about Imagine Gnats.

Imagine Gnats
Imagine Gnats patterns feature classic silhouettes with a modern twist that incorporate clever details and practical techniques making them a pleasure to sew and easy to wear. Designer Rachael Gander first learned to sew alongside her mom, but lost in the craft until her early twenties when she got her own sewing machine. Over those last fifteen years, she has made up for lost time experimenting with modern quilting, accessories and garment sewing, pattern design, hand-printed fabric, and textile design.

Imagine Gnats Bess Top Sewing Pattern :: 
The Bess Top has an easy fit that is designed to flatter a variety of body types. Both shirt and tunic lengths have a subtle hi-lo hem, and the dress is designed to hit at the knee. All options feature pleated yoke formed by a wrap-around sleeve, and tunic and dress lengths include optional in-seam pockets. The neckline, sleeves, and hem (for shirt and tunic lengths) are all finished with jersey knit, a technique that gives a clean, easy finish, allowing for a well-stitched curve while providing stability. Pattern has US women's sizes 2 through 20. Try one of these fabrics:

Imagine Gnats Adler Skirt for Women Sewing Pattern :: 
The Alder Skirt for women is a retro inspired a-line skirt with generous pockets and an easy-going style. The pleated front and back darts make for a flattering silhouette, while the elastic back means no finicky closures and a comfortable fit. For a less pronounced a-line shape, flat front and pocket options are also included. The Alder Skirt is perfect for everyday wear, and includes options that are simple enough for a beginner sewist. Pattern has US women's sizes 2 through 22. Try one of these fabrics:
