Blog Lovin: Welcome to the Mouse House
We have yet another amazing blogger to share with you guys today. Welcome to the Mouse House is a craft and sewing blog written by Hayley Crouse, a 33-year-old stay at home Mom with a lot of creativity. Hayley brings so much joy and life to the words of her blog. Each post, reflects her own personal style (which is amazing) while actually keeping it personal. After finishing each post, you feel as if you learned something new about her adorable life and family. She is also not afraid of telling of some of the milestones she has crossed to get where she is. She tells the story of the medical scare that changed her life. We mention this purely because it is a story that shows true strength and inspiration behind the brand she has built! She has been featured in many publications, including West Elm, where her own home was featured within it's pages! What, are you serious, See it here. Needless to say, we love Welcome to the Mouse House and think you will just as much!
Hayley jumped onto our Piper Blog Tour team and did a phenomenal job! Her post features an amazing geometric, chiffon fabric from Michael Levine and it knocked our socks off! Her photography is so superb and we think you guys will go crazy over her final product. So check out her post on her Violette Field Threads Piper Misses. If you don't already go and follow her blog! She has a great Pinterest! You can also find her on Facebook and Instagram.

Blog Lovin: Sew Caroline
We LOVE the blog Sew Caroline! We recently met up with Caroline Hulse at Quilt Market and it was so exciting to meet the voice behind one of our favorite blogs. Caroline's lifestyle blog is based out of Texas and she creates anything and everything homemade. She truly leads a creative lifestyle, we're inspired!
Caroline's blog is the second stop on our Piper Blog Tour. She went with a playful polka dot fabric and incorporated lace to keep the feminine feel of the Piper. It is perfect summer ensemble and we love her photography! Click here to view her post on the creation of her Piper. And if you don't already, start following Sew Caroline. Caroline gets even more inspiring and creative each week! You can also find Mrs. Hulse on Facebook and Pinterest! Thank you for playing Caroline, you look fabulous!

Introducing: Piper Misses
The day has finally come! We are happy to announce that the Piper pattern is now available in Misses' sizes! The pre-release feedback has been so amazing and we have been so eager for release day to arrive. The Piper pattern is now being offered in women's sizes in both top and dress options.
We are very excited for you too see the hard work that has gone into the drafting of Piper Misses. We feel that we have taken our pattern drafting to a new level and have included everything you would love to see in a women's pattern including:
* pattern notches to assist in sleeve and front & back placement
* pre-marked gathering lines on the sleeves
* skillfully graded sizing from XXS - XXL
* darts for a more tailored bust.
* lengthen and shorten cut line for ease of adjustments.
Here is an example of the new pattern details:
The features of this pattern will make sewing it up almost as enjoyable as wearing the finished product! We plan to incorporate these new features into our current Women's patterns on the market and updates will be provided to previous purchasers! We love how our fans continue to inspire us to grow and improve in our talent, thank you for being with us for this incredible journey!

We wanted to share them with our fans in hopes they could inspire you too! So here are some of the most beautiful, Violette approved ways to coral it up. Enjoy, Xoxo!
