The Great Pattern Hack :: Kait from Michael Miller Fabrics

Oh, I love when this happens…when you get to see the person behind-the-scenes! Today’s ‘hacker’ is Kait, one of the powerhouses behind Michael Miller Fabrics. She does social media, the blog, outreach to bloggers and even some fabric design assistance.  She’s a true Jill of all trades and she’s a lovely women and a friend.  I was so thrilled that she decided to join in and sew along with The Great Pattern Hack.  She pulled together a dreamy dress by hacking the gorgeous Anna Blouse from Charise Creates.  Doesn’t it look like a dress Jane Austen would wear on a picnic? I’ve fallen in love with this blouse pattern myself and love Kait’s tweaks.  Be sure to check out how she did it on her blog. Kait used the sweetest eyelet fabric and a flow-y print from Garden Glitz.
