Blank Slate Patterns, true to the name, provide basic patterns that can be sewn as is for awesome basics, or a as building blocks for any design you can dream of!  Here's just a small sampling of how other designers have been inspired by Melissa and used a Blank Slate Pattern as a basis for one of their looks.

  2. The pocket pj's are cool. I'm just curious, does anyone know why in our society, if a male is wearing a sleeveless garment, it's considered casual, but most formal wear for females is sleeveless?

    1. Probably because historically women were on show either to shop for a husband, or to be the bauble on his arm.

  41. I really love the look of the Zippy Jacket - it could be made in a neutral colour with 'boy' pockets and when he outgrows it, I could unpick the pockets and add in 'girl' pockets for my daughter!

  42. My first Blank Slate Pattern was the Lazy Day Pyjama's and I still love it. A lot of what I had to do was new, but it was easy because the instructions were good. They look like they'll be an annual staple.

    I'm just starting on the Salt Water Trunks though, so the pyjama's might lose their top spot

  43. The Trendy Tuxedo. Awww...
    And most of the girl's dresses of course
