Thank you so much to The Girl Creative for letting me be your guest today! I’m Melissa Stramel, a pattern and fabric designer and am so happy to be here. I wanted to let you know a little more about me and my business, Lilac Lane.

Shop Wedding Dresses, Special Occasion Dresses, Prom Dresses On Sale!

I’m a mother to three beautiful children, ages 7, 6 and 4. They’re close together and because of that they’re also very close. It’s so nice. You don’t often see my oldest, Nathan, on patterns because, well, he’s a boy. And my things are so very, very girly. He doesn’t mind.

When I went to college, I finished up with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree. It’s a nice thing to be able to do now and then. But at heart, I’ve always been an artsy person. I love anything involving domestic and fine arts including cooking, photography, painting, decorating, gardening and sewing. You can find a little bit of all of this on my blog.

It’s been a dream come true to see my patterns available in print. To date, I have five out, all from last June through the present. I hope to be able to do this for many years to come. I also hope to someday see my fabric designs on fabric! That is a much slower adventure.

 

 

I would love to give one of my patterns away to one lucky winner.  Here’s the ways that you can enter:
