As you know Circa is truly sweeping the nation and because of that I am holding tight to mine. I have a photoshoot to do!! But I thought that because all of you mean the world to me that I would at least offer up half yards of all of Circa for all my pals out there. So here’s the deal. The comments have to be here for us to really know what the heck is going on. So share with your neighbors we love that about all of you. Tell us your favorite Sis Boom story if you like but you don’t have too or maybe how you know Jennifer (me) or maybe how you got into sewing. We love your stories!! Tell us about your business and what it means to you. Short and sweet , we love getting to know you. If you know me from facebook / twitter you’ll know I try to reach out to everyone. As we are growing I’m still the same girl who launched Sis Boom and know the heart of what goes on here is because of all of you. It’s a special place with lots of special people and it does take a village.
So leave your message here and you will be entered to win a big stack of 1/2 yard of all Circa’s. I kid you not.Offer ends June 15th at midnight so everyone gets a chance.

We love our Betty Ann pattern named for a beloved mentor of mine. This Maxi looks so terrific on Jeanne Hamling, one of our long time testers daughters. Look at the shoes my friends , that’s what caught my eye!!! I love her confidence and pride in wearing one of mom’s creations!!! All of Jeanne’s kids are beautiful and I had the pleasure of meeting this one Miss Lily out in Utah!! Folks I’m sorry I won’t be at quilt market but I will be thinking of all of you!!! This pattern can be found under patterns on this site as well as many other pattern platforms! This fabric is part of our Crazy Love collection and can be found here. Thank you Glam Fabrics on Etsy.. In Australia we found some here. Thank you Fabric Traders AU

We are so grateful to Carla Crim for our amazing PDF patterns. Every Day, and I mean Every Day, you all are singing the praises of Sis Boom patterns and we feel truly blessed to have the Scientific Seamstress tried and true pattern designer for the Sis Boom Pattern Co.
She gives it her all and simplify’s the process and anticipates your questions before the pattern debuts. Our faithful testers give her feedback and talk each stage through. They also add to the magic of Sis Boom Patterns.
I can tell that you are all happy because we get so few questions It’s kind of like the Maytag repairman there is nothing to fix!!
Kudos to Carla and her amazing team of testers. We appreciate you all so much.
So here it is the most popular pattern for it’s ease of creating and of versatility. It’s the Molly Peasant! Named after my sweet sis and that’s Sophie my niece when she was a little one. You probably know her from our book Girls World.

Whenever Tim comes in the house I feel so special. He’s a busy man, hugely in demand, and always so gracious. His wife is ever so busy as well with the demands of Vagabond’s Daughter. Nancy always gives 100% to me. She is make up and good cheer and adds such good humor to the day. Madeline (read about her here and her amazing services) this was her first photo shoot on her own. I was blown away… and of course the models and especially their mothers who trust us!!! Big responsibility. Stage moms don’t have it easy and Nicole Morris takes it all in stride. The children our hers. Then we brought in Laine Parsons who just yesterday was the little one trailing her older brother and sister, and look how she has blossomed. That’s the beauty in the long dark hair. I am so blessed with well-mannered, good looking children in my neighborhood!!! The best is that we have fun on set!! Tim, even as the sun sets at 4:00 and it’s dark outside, still rolls with it, even as we know natural light is always preferred. I really love this amazing team. Happy Holidays to all.
Here is Madeline in this beautiful photo.
Don’t miss our Holiday show! 9-5 coming in two weeks..I should start making stuff. 🙂

We introduced the Betty Ann later in the game to get a jump on spring but look what Jenny did for her daughter Kelsey.
She made a Leighanna peasant and used it beautifully under the Betty Ann. This is sensational for the cooler months. Jenny you’ll have to tell us that sweet fabric on the blouse. Lovely. We will never ever get enough of Jenny’s wonderful work!
Look at some of her amazing work using our patterns and even one she designed herself. Jenny at Sew Pretty Dresses you make my world go round.!

That’s right Laminate is sweeping the nation!! Folks be loving this new product and love the way it sews. I asked Melissa P of 100 Billion Stars to show folks what to do with Laminate and she went long!!!!! As in garment Bag!! She didn’t stop there she’s even offering this cool design for free!!! This is one talented lady!!! We all know that Laminate can be a bit pricey bit remember it’s 54″ wide and that’s quite a bit of goods to do several projects. Melissa also told me to make Laminate last longer line with less expensive fabric. We are the cheat club!!! Keeping costs down is our mission when we are in business!! Thanks Melissa. I love your surprises!! This is so uber cool and I am enormously grateful for your amazing ideas. A book is in this girls future!! I want a signed copy!!! Ask her questions about using Laminate. She is a pro and has great ideas for you!! Painters tape..she’s got the 411!
