Welcome to giveaway week on KCW! All week we will be featuring some of our fantastic sponsors and giving you a chance to win some great patterns and beautiful fabric.

1. zippy jacket 2. cool cardigan 3. coastal cargos 4. pristine swing dress

There is no better place to start than with Blank Slate Patterns. Melly is a talented designer with a shop full of amazing children’s wear patterns. Her business is called Blank Slate Patterns because her patterns are indeed blank slates: they are your canvas for creativity!

1. signature look by max california 2. jersey baggies by handmade frenzy 3. w pants by sew a straight line 4. leather blazer by Aly Frog

Look at all the amazing examples above! You can turn a simple blazer pattern into an amazing Sgt. Pepper style jacket or a rocking leather one. You can take a basic pants pattern and turn it into comfy knit shorts or bleach dye your fabric, slap some huge zippered pockets on the back and instantly your kid is the coolest on the block.

1. saddle shoulder polo by Alida Makes 2. stripe bandage knit pants by Melissa Esplin 3. floral yoke pants by Shwin & Shwin 4. winter white blazer by skirt as top

And even though Melly does boy patterns so well, she hasn’t forgotten the girls. There are some lovely dresses–casual and dressy (christmas, anyone?). The patterns that maybe look more boy are super fun to play around with for girls too. Like the perfect polo pictured above with that great geometric knit print. I love the W pants pattern done in that crazy stripey knit or with just a bit of floral on the yoke. The blazer pattern is perfect for fall and beautiful lined with a bold print.
