Olive & Opal Maker Round Up Part 1

Olive & Opal maker roundup 1

One of my absolute favourite things when releasing new patterns is seeing the individual spin you put on them! So, to celebrate the release of Olive & Opal, I asked some of my favourite makers to show us how they would use the patterns!

As usual, each and every one has absolutely hit their make out of the park!  I’ve already popped some of the clever ideas onto my list for future Olive & Opal makes (the wardrobe is getting seriously full you guys).

I really hope you enjoy these takes on Olive & Opal and make sure to check out these wonderful makers reviews and Instagram accounts. This is only the first post of two so there is serious inspiration coming your way in the coming weeks. I hope you get as much joy as we did when looking through these makes!

WOW! The original pattern and the testers’ creativity are both such a breath of inspiration this summer. Thank you, Thank you! I can’t wait to get my hands on this. Saw Opal on The Foldline first, and “What is that TOP?” Well done, MN! Xxx
