Anime North 2017

6/3/2017

Anime North 2017 in Toronto, Ontario went off fabulously last weekend! We showcased our new Lolita sewing patterns and dress designs, plus had the chance to talk "shop" with many Lolitas and sewing enthusiasts. Plus, there's always a "buy at show" discount that makes everyone smile :)

As always, some incredible ideas were notes - such as adding smock dresses, jackets and Brolita designs to the collection...look for these soon!

Couldn't Make the show? There's MORE!

To help celebrate International Lolita Day (and to share the love for our international customers), we are having a site wide 20% off sale with coupon code ild201720 - valid until June 10th only.

And IF you like free stuff....

Huzzah! Sewing Patterns Are Here!

After many (many) months of sewing, drafting and editing, I am so incredibly proud to announce the launch of our first ever sewing pattern collection!

When I started this project many moons ago, I wanted to make sure that our patterns addressed so many of the issues that I've help Lolita's with through years of classes and forums.

Save an additional 10% on all orders until March 16th, with code - Grand10

We've started with two JSKs, one OP, bloomers and a fun beret set designed for beginner to intermediate seamstresses. Beginners can follow the complete directions, whereas more experienced sewers can use the base to get creative!

We'd like to brag that all of our patterns have:

Sizing from XS to 3X (see size chart here)
Full sized pattern pieces (no drafting, complicated assembly or grading!)
Printed on sturdy paper for multiple uses
All patterns are test-sewn to ensure a great fit
Clear instructions with many illustrations
Clear bag with handles for easy storage
Required materials listed in Meters AND Yards

We know some of you are asking - why can't we download the patterns and print them at home? Well, this was a large debate for quite a while. The benefit of receiving your pattern immediately was huge, but there are often frustrating issues with printing a pattern online, plus it's not very nice working with tape all over your paper. Ultimately we decided to print the patterns (so we can check the scale is right!) and ship them directly to you.

We'd love to see what you've sewn! Email us pictures of your work, or share them on our Facebook page!

Forest City Comicon

So with a new fabulous website...comes a new fabulous blog! Although Forest City Comicon in London, Ontario was a few months ago (ahem....October?), we didn't have a chance to share our visit online during our "virtual move."

This was our second year at the show, but our first time rolling out the new Tea & Treadle label. We showcased the new Sweet Caroline JSK (shown left...with pockets), and promised that it would be one of our first patterns to launch after Christmas.

We also got to show off our new smock dresses, including a Dark Teddy OP with pockets.... and matching bloomers :)

As always, we had plenty of "treats" for sale by way of embroidered patches, food plushies and a great sample sale rack. As of right now, we do not have plans to return to Forest City Comicon 2017 because we are hoping to make it to RuffleCon in some capacity around that time. We'll keep you posted as plans get finalized.
