It's DONE!
Yippy... it's done! The Girl's Best Friend Wallet Pattern is now available in the shop. And because you all have been SO good about patiently waiting for it, I'm offering a special PRESALE for one week only. All Girl's Best Friend patterns purchased during the presale will be shipping on 3-5-08. You can view more pictures of the pattern in the shop or on flickr.
It was such a pleasure to work with Sandi Henderson's Ginger Blossom for the cover wallet. Isn't it yummy and just screams spring... which seems far off in this winter cold, but has been on my mind all week. I have a few plans for some of the other prints too ( I ordered them all hehe) maybe some bags for the shop... and of course a few wallets I'm sure too.
Thanks to everyone for your support during my writing of this pattern. Each and every comment, email, phone call, and hug made this possible. I'd like to give a special shout out to my testers Rachel, Sarah, Barb, Donna, Lynn, and Kate... These ladies are incredible sewers who I've learned a lot from and hope to continue to learn from. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Hope you each had a lovely weekend!
xoxo,
Jennalou
Congratulations Jenna - I love your first pattern - Fiona, and am excited to preorder this one as well! Best wishes, Amy (aka oblinaknit)

Hi Jenna,
I just found your blog. Wow, you've sold tons of them already-that's wonderful! You need (or do you have) and flickr group for Jenna Lou's design patterns? This way, people can post all the cute things they make from your patterns (just a thought).
Take care = )
