Back to School - Celeste Dress, Elodie Skirt, Jack Back Pack

 It's such a delight to be able to offer you the final 3 patterns for your Back to School sewing.  These are designed by Iris May Designs, a European designer.  Here's a little geography lesson for you: maybe you've noticed that trends tend to hit Europe first and then migrate to the US?  Well, that means that these patterns are what you're seeing in the current Back to School offerings in all the retail stores!!  Except you get to choose the fabrics and make them fit your child's body!  A+ performance if you ask us!
