Beautiful Cinnamon!!!!!
Thanks
Simply stunning — I can’t wait to make it! May be a bit of a challenge for me, but I love a challenge
What fun! An intermediate pattern. Wonder where Cinnamon has been hibernating since intermediate patterns are what is wanted here.
Hi Trish,
Nope, not hibernating. We are working hard to serve you better.
Want pants with waistband and belt loops with no elastic.
Well it is about time LJC. You got more advanced outfits you can publish patterns from. Please get to it.
Wow. That hurts. I spent most of the summer figuring out this jacket concept. Then over 30 hours experimenting to make the first one. Then about 3 weeks putting the pattern guidebook together, with the help of Karin, who also spent an enormous amount of time on this project, and this is your comment?
I realize publishing these guidebooks looks pretty simple. But they aren’t. They are incredibly complex to get right. And if you want to encourage me to do more, then mocking me in public is not the best choice.
I’m not trying to be unkind, but you need to realize I’m a real person, and you’re criticizing something I just spent an enormous amount of my life working on.
When I spend time responding to unkind & emotionally draining comments like this, it takes time away from productive activities, like pattern creation.
I hope this reply helps you understand a bit about me, my work, and how your play a part.
All the best,
Cinnamon
Agree, Cinnamon has been relying on her other designers to fill the the pattern pages. This is her business and expect more from her.
Hi Minnie,
The other designers are not ‘mine’. They are working hard to build their own brands, and publish quality patterns. I’m honored to work with them.
I appreciate your high expectations for me. But nobody has higher expectations for me than – me. We are trying to publish more patterns, and get faster at doing it. I hope you can appreciate the challenges associated with publishing a quality pattern.
All the best,
Cinnamon
All above are true. Guess LJC wants to waste time on youtube events and overpriced beginning sewing lessons.
Hi Sara,
As it happens, this week is our 4 year anniversary on Youtube. Our design contests are some of the mostly responded-to-videos of ALL TIME on Youtube, bigger than any other company’s contests. We’re proud of that, and don’t appreciate it being called a waste of time. Through our contests we are teaching girls to design clothes, and think about fashion as creators, not just consumers. We are changing the way girls interact with Youtube content. Wasting time? Nah, not in our opinion.
“Overpriced beginning sewing lessons”, I assume you’re referring to the Design Academy. It’s not actually sewing lessons. It’s a 1 month course, which teaches professional doll clothes design. The prior participants have raving positive comments about it.
Our business is more complex than publishing patterns, and the cool part about it is – it’s our business – so we get to decide what we do, and how much of it we do. And inspiring young girls to become designers, and teaching people how to design – those are key elements of the business we want to create. We are going to do more of it in the future. If you want a ‘pure’ pattern publishing company to ‘like’, then maybe you need to find another company.
I hope you can appreciate answers. I’m not trying to be unkind. But I’m a real person, and your comments are very personal to me.
Cinnamon
Beautiful. Tongue is hanging out for more.
Are you ever going to make a pattern for these shorts or the Lightning Ridge shirt and pants? I’m just curious.
~Miranda
Yes, that’s the goal.
You girls are being a little harsh. Cinnamon’s site fills a need for all sewers.I can sew at all levels and I enjoy the simple and the challenging projects as well.Just keep doing what you are doing – it is an awesome job !
Cinnamon,
I absolutely LOVE all of your patterns and all aspects of what you are doing. You have a lot of fans out there!! Keep up the amazing work! You definitely don’t deserve all the nasty comments.
Thanks Laura,
We are grateful for you!
Cinnamon
Cinnamon,
I was scanning the comments (because I’m really excited, too for whenever you publish the shorts pattern) and I couldn’t believe the heartless, inane comments. Who are these people to expect anything from you? If they don’t like the way you do things, they can shop elsewhere, but I don’t think there is anywhere else you can buy 1) this cute of patterns, 2) in this scale 3) at this good a price.
I’m so sorry about these nasty comments! This is gorgeous, my favorite of the many beautiful outfits on your site
You do a beautiful job making all of these, especially at such a reasonable price and in such a straightforward way! I haven’t had the time or resources to sew things like this lately, but as soon as I do, I plan on buying many of your gorgeous patterns!
Thank you and I hope people like that don’t discourage your great work!
Calise
Cinnamon,
Keep up what you are doing because you are doing a fantastic job.
As far as the mean and hateful comments…Well if they can do a better job let’s see them offer up a design either simple or intermediate or difficult with a design book with beautiful pictures. No I think not. They would rather just be critical and make hurtful comments.
I love your designs and those of the other designers you work with. Thank you for all you hard work!
Cinnamon, I want to toss some roses at your feet. This is such a beautiful, carefully thought out pattern! Liberty Jane patterns are the best I’ve every used–and I have a large collection. The construction methods are clear and extremely clever, and nothing else I’ve used has ever come close to the beautiful fit that is one of the signatures of your work.
Thank your for your generosity and commitment to excellence. Your work and attitude, I’m sure, are a reflection of the creator you love. “Be strong and take heart.”
I am shocked that some people would have the nerve to get on here and criticize Cinnamon for not getting exactly what they want, exactly when they want it. Not only is it mean, but it is also ignorant. I draft and design patterns for dolls as well, and I full well know the amount of work and effort that goes into each one. It isn’t like turning on a machine – and people who do not make patterns seem to confuse it as such. Cinnamon’s patterns are high quality, and her instructions very, very well done. I think people too quickly lose appreciation, and start believing they have the right to judge and jury.
This pattern in incredible! I don’t have any modern AG dolls, or I would be dying to get it!
LOVE Cinnamon’s patterns! Have a large tote filled with the printed patterns.
OH yea! Thxs for the jacket found the bubble shorts in a McCall’s pattern.
I would love to see this made in denim.
I would love to see this made in fabric that is shiny silver!
