Darla and ideas on dressing up already existing clothes. Like adding a ruffle to the bottom to lengthen a skirt also what about a little girls apron pattern.

Hello Betty fabric
I would love to see a ladies edition of the Tessa Bloomers.
I received my Tessa Bloomers pattern today..Love It!

[angel]

I've always loved Barefoot Roses, but I think I prefer Darla now!

[Dana]

I love "Hello Betty"! I've had my eye on that fabric for a long time now!

Blessings--
Dana

[Tamara (AK)]

I like the Black & White fabrics or Good Folks! I agree - a ladies edition of Tessa bloomers would be sweet!

Thanks!

[Mrs. Pear]

I love the Barefoot Rose and Flirt and the new Darla!

I still love the ruffle skirt for my daughters, but love the new tessa bloomers too!

[Missy Weaver]

So many beautiful designs...if I have to choose, I guess I'm kinda partial to 3 lines - the black and white, farmer's market, and garden party. LOVE zesty blossoms red, cubes, up all night,polka line, receiving line, pink medallion bloom, spring pomegranate seeds...I could go on and on!

[Ashley]

I just love this fabric- nicole pink bouquet. I also agree that a ladies edition of tess bloomers would rock. God Bless, Ashley

[Joanna]

Hi! I have lots of favorites in the fabric lines but I do like the new flower power...I can see Mary in some of those fabrics!

[Joanne]

I really like the Darla collection. And I'd like to see more little girls clothes, mainly long dresses.

[Barbara]

I'm liking the black and whites and the garden party line and I still love the farmer's market line. I would like to see some pre-teen/teen skirts - something cute and casual that would look good with a tee shirt and flip flops!

[Isabel]

It was really hard to pick a favorite line but if I had to pick one I would go with "Pretty Please". I love the patterns and colors and can see my little girl wearing anything made with this exquisite fabric. I would love to see some long little girl dresses preferably sewn for me since sewing is not something I have picked up--yet. It's on my list of things to learn but I'd better hurry b/c my little girl is growing up sofast:-) I so enjoy reading your blog. It's like a breath of fresh air.

[Bethany]

I like the "Hello Betty" fabric.

[Mary Ann Miller]

I love all of Tanya Whelan's fabrics. I enjoy your website. I would love to be a winner.

[melanie @ whimsical creations]

Love the darla line. I would love to see patterns for shirts.

[Cathy]

The Darla line is great (who am I kidding...they all are!) and I'm interested in jumpers and some feminine under garments (bloomers, pantaloons, petticoats, etc.) Thanks!

[Megan Z.]

I love the Darla (pink) Collection, especially the Ditty Pink! I think a purse in that fabric would be adorable. I would carry it around all the time! :) I wouldn't personally wear the bloomers, but They would make a great gift for a young girl that I know!

[Jenny from San Antonio,Tx]

I like all of your fabrics, so it was hard to choose. I guess I would have to say...gosh, do I have to pick just one? Heather Bailey's fabrics. But really, I could have easily said, Darla, Ava Rose, all of Jennifer Pagenelli's lines, and of course Sandi Henderson. As for designs I really like the childrens Asian patterns/designs I have been seeing online. Kimono type dresses(Patty Young's Kyoto), Peasant styled dresses with the flared sleeves. I also love your tessa pants and the ruffled skirts.

[Megan Z.]

I forwarded the email I got about this giveaway right away! Your collections are so beautiful. I also really like your patterns.

[Sirena]

These are just too adorable!! My niece would be thrilled to wear these. Elizabeth Rose fabric is my fave!! I will forward this to my sisters - there's 4 girls in my family and I love to see all the pics of your girls!

[Sirena]

I forwarded this to 4 friends!! Thanks for the opportunity!! :o)

[Julie]

Hi there, I like the "flirt" material. I love the Tesse bloomers and would like to see a ladies version. Thanks for the chance to win and Joanna sent me! ~Julie T.

[Kara]

Tough choice - I think I would have to go with teal birds from park slope or polka line from garden party. Both are so cute! I just ordered your pattern for a cute skirt (gracie? I think), and i haven't had a chance to make it yet, but I am so excited about it!

[Katie]

I love the Barefoot Roses collection!

I would like to see patterns for simple yet elegant tops. - maybe flared, 3/4 "bell" sleeves?

[Joanna]

I love the Darla and Barefoot Roses collections. So do my hard-to-please daughters! You have so many beautiful things to look at. I love your site!

[Joanna]

I forwarded this to 10 friends!

[Lucy]

Woohoo. I hope I win. :o) I would have to say that it would be lovely in any of the Darla fabrics, well just about any fabric but I love the soft sweet prints in the Darla line in all the colors. I blogged your giveaway. I hope that was ok and I hope that at least 3 of me readers come over.

[Christa]

I totally love the black and whites...with a splash of yellow added...I am glad I stumbled on your site. Great to see girls dressed decent. I forwarded your page to a friend who purchased you pattern for Tessa Bloomers...She can't wait to get strated making them. Thanks!

[Emma]

Pretty please is my favorite. And I love skirts with ruffles and tiers. I love everything on marie-madeline studios! Emma

[Michelle B.]

I love flower power and the barefoot roses. I love all your patterns. Especially the gracie skirt

[ilena]

Choose one? they are all so gorgeous ~ Darla I think, or Hello Betty, what a toss up!

[Rebecca]

I have always loved your fabrics and wonderful creations that you sell. I would love to see some type of tote bags or maybe messenger bags and maybe women's sizes in the culotte styles.

I love the Ava rose collection and the hello betty collection. They are both so vintage and very bright and cheery and feminine! thank you for your site and all your efforts, my sister Bethany and I are loving the fabrics we bought to use to make many bags, head bands, and many more things for our own business.

Blessings,
Rebecca

[Mary Ann Miller]

I forward on to three friends. I know they will like your website too!

[diana]

Flower Power!!! I Love flowers!! These prints remind me of my Mom's rose/flower garden!!! I can smell it now!!!

[Chelsey]

I like the Barefoot Roses collection and the Darla collection. I like the Tessa Bloomers and the T-shirt dress shown in the tutorial. I'd like to see little girl purses on your site. Thanks for the great giveaway!

[mamaTAVE]

Black and White fabric is my favorite at this moment.
I would definitely wear the bloomers in a ladies' size! They look so comfortable... My daughter would love them, too.
My sister's name is Tessa, so I was drawn to this post. :-)

[Susan (A Happy Heart at Home)]

I like Flirt. I love the Tessa bloomers, the ruffled skirts, and your aprons. Thanks for hosting this giveaway!

[Tami D]

Wow, what a difficult choice! I guess my favorite fabric would be Red, White and Bold. These would be perfect for my daughter! I have been looking for something like this for her. Thanks for the giveaway!

[Rebecca R.]

I LOVE the Darla collection! As for new designs, how about a pattern for a girl's/little girl's dress that is a takeoff on something similar to the Gracie ruffle skirt . . . I am picturing either a jumper style with ruffles on the bottom (maybe even ties at the shoulders instead of regular straps) or a dress with little puffed or cap short sleeves and the ruffles on the bottom. The ruffles could be either like the Gracie Ruffle Skirt or just gathered "tiers" of 3 or 4 different fabrics . . . one for the bodice and a different one for each of 3 or so horizontal strips with gathers on each. I can picture what I am thinking of, just can't describe it very well! LOL

[Rebecca R.]

I also emailed 4 friends about the giveaway, as well as called one of them up to tell them to be sure to check out all of your wonderful patterns and tutorials that you have available!

[Cassandra K.]

ALL your fabrics are so beautiful! But I would have to say my favorite is the black and white collection. I would love these tessa bloomers in a ladies pattern! My younger sisters and I have been on the lookout for a pretty culotte pattern, and this one is perfect:)

[Cassandra K.]

I just sent an email to 4 friends who would love this pattern. They are always looking for new patterns, too!

[Becky]

Becky Lambert
LOVE your patterns and fabrics
especially love darla by tanya whelan
Also love your photos!!!!!!!!

[Colleen]

I like the colors & patterns of the "pretty please" and "swell" fabric lines. I'm always a fan of ruffle skirts for girls, but I'd also be interested in new designs for boy's rompers.

[Stacy]

I like the Darla fabric! It is so feminine & sweet! I would love to win this giveaway! I just love this design. Even if I don't it is definitely on my wish list! :)

Thanks for the giveaway!

[Patty Adams]

Hi, My favorite is Ava Rose.
Patty

[Cynthia]

we love farmers market! I too would like a ladies version of the bloomers.

[Beth]

I like Ava Rose and Darla. Out of the new fabrics I like Flower Power. I am hoping I can soon find some time to order a pattern to try sewing some of the cute things. I love the ruffled skirts. The girls look adorable in the bloomers and the bags are also great looking!

[Lisa]

I like your Red, White and Bold line. I also think that a women's version of your bloomers would do well.

[Gail]

Good morning! I love the new bloomer pattern! My favorite line is "Darla". Hope you day is blessed! Gail in Kansas
