✂️ The Tic Tac Toe Children's Jacket! 👶✨
We’ve had so much fun making quilted adult jackets at the shop lately, and our classes have been such a blast! But we kept hearing the same thing: "I wish I could make a tiny one to match!"

🧥 Meet the Tic Tac Toe Pattern
If you’ve been dreaming of a "mini-me" moment, the Tic Tac Toe quilted children’s jacket pattern by Melly and Me is exactly what you need. It’s the perfect way to use up those favourite fabric scraps or coordinate perfectly with your own handmade wardrobe.

🧵 It’s designed specifically for little ones, giving them that same cozy, quilted look we love in our adult versions.

Is there anything cuter than a custom-quilted jacket for a birthday or special occasion?

✨ From Stash to Showstopper: The Echo Lake Journey! ✨
Have you ever looked at a fabric in your stash and thought, "I love you, but what do I do with you?"

That’s exactly how Lindsay’s latest project began! Using the Echo Lake pattern by Canadian designer , Lindsay decided to shop her own stash first to find her starting point.

🧵 The "Stash + Shop" Strategy:
The Starting Point: Lindsay pulled several "must-use" fabrics from her home collection—prints she loved but hadn't found the right home for yet.

The Perfect Match: She brought those fabrics into the shop, where we spent time auditioning new bolts to pull the whole palette together. Key "must have" fabrics included the plaid fabrics from the Cannon Beach line!

The Result: By mixing unused or leftover fabrics from home with carefully selected new pieces, the quilt top gained a unique, curated depth.

💡 Why We Love This:
Mixing your stash with new fabrics is the best of both worlds. It allows you to use those "beloved" pieces you’ve already invested in while giving you the thrill of a fresh project.

📍 Let Us Help You!
Bring your own "stash stars" into the shop. We love nothing more than helping you find those missing pieces that turn your leftover fabric into a finished masterpiece.
