I just started sewing for my 3.5 yr old daughter and TWIN (almost 2 yr old) boys (I didn't realize you were twins until the other day when I sat down and read some stuff on FB)! I would SOOOOOO love to win the pattern pack so I can make some stuff for my little ones! I really love the Waldorf inspired dolls and would love to make each of my little ones....especially since one of the twins keeps stealing his big sister's dolls! :) Love your items! Thank you SO much for sharing your talents! - Kristen Kozeliski Katula

Avital won the other pattern pack!

A Celebration of Two Years in Business With a Giveaway!

Today is a milestone of sorts. Two years ago today we made a change, we changed from being makers of goods, to sellers of patterns. 

We had a business, Adirondack Mama's Gifts, selling handmade goods for babies, and adults.  Everything sewn from our 4 hands hands, and sewing machines.  Whisked away and piled into our vehicles, with our boys in tow, these goods were brought to craft fairs at local farmers markets, and were widely praised. We had repeat customers, lots of word of mouth referrals. 

Overall a huge success!

Eben in 2009~so little!

This was our first farmer's market!

We made bibs, bags, burp cloths, blankies, booties, sewing wraps, needles cases, coloring wraps, and dresses. All of these things made with our own patterns, and in a huge variety of fabrics!

Here we are Spring 2009

Boy did we have a blast!

Here is one of the 100 or so dresses I made

One of Julia's Coloring Wraps (another 100 or so made and sold)

A Diaper Wrap

Unfortunately in early 2010 we decided to close up shop due to the numerous restrictions by the US Government and labeling restrictions on goods for children.  

We cried, we moped, and we got angry.  Then we got real. So, if we can't sell our goods, lets sell our original patterns! That way we still have creative freedom, and we can allow other people to make lovely things for their little ones!

So Adirondack Patterns came to life!

Over the 2 years in business as a pattern shop we have grown a lot!

And we have almost 1000 sales under our belt!

Julia designs Waldorf Inspired Dolls, and accessories
