Girl Charlee Kicks off Sewing Pattern Partnership to Support Independent Designers

SIGNAL HILL, CA, May 26, 2013

Girl Charlee Fabrics, a privately owned fabric e-retailer, kicked off its Sewing Pattern Partnership Program with the launch of sewing patterns exclusively created by independent designers. The selected sewing patterns are drafted specifically for knit fabrics and the perfect offering with the exclusive knit fabric selection available at GirlCharlee.com.

The Pattern Partnership Program launched with patterns from carefully selected designers, including Bryanna's Clothes, Figgy's Patterns, Fishsticks Designs, Greenstyle Creations, Jocole, Lilyggle, and Whimsy Couture. Patterns range in all sizes and style, and include those for children's, women's, and men's clothing. In keeping with Girl Charlee's mission to provide materials at the lowest prices possible, these patterns are affordable and can be sewn with Girl Charlee's current selection of knit fabrics.

President and Owner Heather Peterson stated, "Girl Charlee Fabrics specializes in providing top quality, unique knit fabrics and many customers have asked for patterns that can be sewn with our fabrics. With the Pattern Partnership Program, Girl Charlee would offer PDF sewing patterns from carefully selected independent pattern designers that we feel offer top quality patterns utilizing knit fabrics that would be of great interest to our customers."

Girl Charlee is dedicated to supporting independent designers and small businesses. The Pattern Partnership Program is open to submissions by pattern drafters whose patterns sew up beautifully with the unique knit fabrics offered at Girl Charlee. These designers are encouraged to submit their designs if they are interested in becoming a pattern partner at Girl Charlee.

The Pattern Partnership is more than a typical resale program. Girl Charlee aims to provide marketing and sales benefits to both companies through sewing project collaborations, cross promotions, social media engagement, and editorial features.

"Rather than just being a regular wholesale provider of designer patterns, Girl Charlee would offer more of a partnership that will provide benefits to both Girl Charlee and the designer," said Peterson.
