The BO PEEP SKIRT official promo + GIVEAWAY!

Hello my sweet friends! 

I must apologize for my looong absence on this blog! A lot has happened in the past few weeks, including my trip to my native Argentina, an expansion of our warehouse/offices, and the usual juggling between fabric design, pattern design, quilt design, you know the drill! 

So, I know the girls in the AGF team kept you guys posted on some of the stuff going on here, especially the thing I'm most excited about right now; the BO PEEP SKIRT PATTERN!

I love this pattern and I'm sure you will too!! Featuring double layers & gathering detail on the side, this flirty high-waisted skirt is as easy to wear as it is to make!

The skirt has a zipper on the back of the waist. I thought that because many of you could be a zipper first-timer, a very detailed section with many pictures it's included. Isn't that cool?

You know my CD patterns, they come in a CD containing more than 40-page PDF file with detailed diagrams and step by step hi-resolution pictures. And don't forget that the real size templates are included.

I'm so in love with this skirt! We shot this reaaally cool video promo and I wanna share it with all of you! 

What fabric combination do you like most? 

This pattern will be available at your local quilt shop next week... but... if you tell me which one is your fave right now you could be taking home THE BO PEEP PATTERN + the FABRIC to make it in your favorite combination free!!!! 

Other two winners will be taking the pattern as well (so, 3 winners!)... don't miss the chance! 

I'll close the giveaway this Friday this 16th, and will choose the winners randomly. 

Oh, and have you stopped by my Facebook Page?? "Like" it and let me know for a double chance on the giveaway, yay! 

Have a great week everyone and GOOD LUCK!!!!! 

 

Love, Pat

Color Alert: New Pure Elements.

Hey! How was the weekend? Mine was pretty good, caught up with some much-needed rest, haha! 

Now, some of you may be familiar with my line of solids, PURE ELEMENTS. I'm reaaally excited about it and it's had amazing reception so I'm thinking, why stop? 

Last season I launched the line with 10 brand new colors, and now I've added 6 more to match my newest collections and whatever you have in your stash! 

Let me introduce them to you:

Parisian Blue. Well, the name says it all; let's just say, if you were going to Paris tomorrow, this is the tone of blue you should use to make your cocktail dress. 

Dark Citron: I really like this green cause it's so vibrant and easy to use! 

Tender Green: Very similar to what's known as "mint green", is definitely the color of the season. Trust me on this one guys! 

Ash: Grey just got better! A soft tone that goes really well with vibrant colors. Specially for modern projects!

 
Quartz Pink: Because there's no such as thing as "too much pink".

Caviar: To be quite honest I'm not much of a black kinda girl, but it is a classic! Now I kinda wanna make myself a little black dress. Don't you?

Hope you like my color choices, any favorites? Any color suggestions? Would love to hear!

  

Hope to hear from all of you!

Love,

Pat.

New Facebook Page + Giveaway

This week's been crazy with work but at the same time it was cool since it was super productive... I'm reaaally excited about the collections I'm working on right now even though they're giving me major headaches, hahaha! But it's cool, I'm used to it. The result is always worth it ;) 

I also used this week to prepare my own Facebook Page, Pat Bravo. Why? Cause I'd like to keep you updated with everything that goes down at my studio, my life, and also be able to offer you guys the chance to win cool prizes by only "liking" my page. As simple as that!

So, counting with the fact that almost every human being on this planet has a Facebook profile lol, I invite you all to take a look at my page and become a part of my life... don't be shy! 

And, if you "Like" my page, you'll be given the opportunity to take home one big fat juciy prize, learn all about it here.

Also receive the inside scoop on behind the scenes pics&videos, fabric collections sneak peeks, tips&tutorials and more!

See you guys there... hope you have an awesome weekend :)

Love,

Pat.

Who wants some Hyperreal Garden fabric?

Whoever is raising their hand and going "me me meeee!" your chance is NOW! 

For the chance to win a 15 piece fat quarter bundle from my latest collection Hyperreal Garden, watch this video I posted on Friday and tell me ...what does it inspire you? It can be anything! Does it inspire you to make a fabric bookmark for your bookworm sister? Does it inspire you to take an adventurous vacation to the Amazonas? You tell me, and you may be taking home 15 fat quarters from this collection which hasn't even hit stores yet, whohoo!

And now a little reminder of what could be added to your stash...

Giveaway winners!

Hey!

Thank you sooo much for participating on the CAPRI BAG giveaway!

I read all your comments (and I mean, ALL!), and found the different opinions to be super interesting... I saw that many of you are a little reluctant to PDF patterns because of the whole "having to print it out in 8.5 by 11 and taping pieces together" thing, and I totally get you there! That's the main reason why I'm doing this on a CD with printed templates instead of downloadable (yes, it is instant gratification but it's not that instant if you have to go through the whole printing ordeal, right?) So I hope this format works for you!

And now on to the juicy stuff... THE WINNERS!

Congratulations Peach Rainbow and Nicki Davis, you are taking home the CAPRI BAG PATTERN! 

But not only that, I invite you to go to www.patbravo.com and choose your fabrics to make the bag; remember they are 3 fabrics, and they have to be from the Paradise, Coquette or Dreaming in French collection... I'm excited to see what you choose!

Once you're done you can e-mail me to pat@patbravo.com and tell me your chosen ones... after you finish the bag I'd love to get some feedback... (or at least some pictures, lol!)

I'll come later this week and give you the scoop on my newest fabric collection: BOHEMIAN SOUL...

Congrats to the winners and thank you all so much for entering!

Love,

Pat.
