Thanks to all of you who’ve given such great responses to the release of the Overmost! Ever since its debut on MADE, I’ve heard nothing but complimentary words, and I’m so grateful for that. It’s such an easy, sweet shape and a quick sew, and I really love it on girls and boys.
And because I love it so much, I’m giving you a chance to win one!
Up for grabs are FOUR finished versions of the Overmost, in four different sizes. These are all made specifically for this giveaway, and are constructed using some fabrics I’ve been hoarding in my stash. I think every pair turned out super cute, and had to slap my own hand to keep from saving them ALL for our kids!
Size 12m, in a Michael Miller airplane print called Fly By Day–bright blue background, aircraft all over, and a red plaid reverse.
Size 2T in an out-of-print Michael Miller Waves design, very chic and vaguely Asian, with a cotton stripe as the reverse.
Size 3T in a linen/Tencel washable blend in a softer-than-soft spring green. Amazing drape, and lined with a wonderful leaf print cotton.
Size 4T in a fabulous Japanese cotton/linen blend from Etsuko Furuya. Bright fuchsia, with a small-scale plaid reverse.
To win, leave a comment. That’s all! Giveaway is open through NEXT WEDNESDAY, July 21 at 12 noon. Winners will be announced here on the blog, and your fabulous new Overmosts will fly to you on gentle wings!
Thanks again, everyone, for all the kind words and your endless support of independent design and the handmade. You’re awesome.

Super cute! I love the airplanes and the green ones especially!

So cute! I know a pair of girls that would love the Etsuko pair (well, sis #1 would love it right now, sis #2 later down the road)!!

Love your store and all the fabulous fabrics! So thankful to FINALLY have a place to buy sewing supplies inside the perimeter – even grateful to have it on the westside!

Love these! Nothing cuter than a grand baby in overalls. I definitely need to check out your pattern. (I am a beginner at clothes so it would have to be pretty simple.)
July 16th, 2010 at 5:38 pm
you have such good taste..I love your choice of fabrics..cute, cute.
and the pattern is great..
July 16th, 2010 at 7:49 pm
Awesome! My daughter pretty much lives in onesies and shorts, as the minute I put a dress on her she lifts it up over her head
. It would be great to have some prettier options, and these fit the bill!
July 16th, 2010 at 8:21 pm
I love the pattern and the fabric used. I also enjoy going to the shop and the demonstrations you have had there since opening.
July 16th, 2010 at 8:36 pm
Love the overmost. But what I really love is the frequency of your posts. It so nice to get an almost daily dose of Whipstitch news!
July 16th, 2010 at 8:47 pm
I love these! I need this pattern!
July 16th, 2010 at 9:10 pm
I love the Overmost. But what I love most are your (almost) daily blog posts. I’m always happy to see that Whipstitch has a new post!
July 16th, 2010 at 9:26 pm
What beautiful craftsmanship! The linen overmost is my favorite but all of them are very fun!
July 16th, 2010 at 10:22 pm
Love the clothes! They’re SO cute. My favorites: the airplane & the Japanese one. Why are little kids clothes always so adorable??
July 16th, 2010 at 11:18 pm
They are all so cute. I need to get my printer working so I can buy the pattern!
July 17th, 2010 at 8:20 am
Those are so crazy adorable!!
July 17th, 2010 at 9:22 pm
So cute! I overalls! Love the airplane and the purpleish one!

These are utterly adorable and I would *never* be able to give them all away – I so admire your iron will
July 18th, 2010 at 9:35 am
I am so in live with all of your prints!
July 18th, 2010 at 1:32 pm
It was hard to pick a favorite, but I’d have to go with the airplanes!
July 18th, 2010 at 6:41 pm
It weakens every time I look at those airplanes–good thing they’re too small for our boy! I’d been hoarding that fabric for most of a year, but this was totally the perfect place to use it.
July 18th, 2010 at 6:44 pm
Because they know we’re suckers and will plunk down some cash on kids’ clothes!
July 18th, 2010 at 6:44 pm
Thank you so much! This comment made my day!
July 18th, 2010 at 8:46 pm
Ooh! Ooh! Perfect for the soon-to-be babe!
July 18th, 2010 at 9:13 pm
my husband lived in Japan for a year (and claims if it wasn’t for me he’d still be there) so we are super partial to the Japanese print overmost. Oh my it’s soooo adorable! thank you!
July 18th, 2010 at 9:58 pm
The green 3T would be great for my toddler. The airplane fabric is too cute!
July 19th, 2010 at 10:29 am
These are so sweet. This is my first time on your site, and I can already see that it will be a favorite of mine. I love that this pattern is trendy cute, but that it still reminds me of pictures of my childhood. I’m a former-NASA engineer, so the airplanes win me over easily!
July 19th, 2010 at 3:14 pm
These are so great. I’m def passing this site on to all my crafty friends.

Superdeduper chic and pretty! What a lovely giveaway. Yay!
July 20th, 2010 at 12:39 am
Wow, these are fantastic! I love the design, I love the fabrics! I would be happy to win any one of them, as my baby will grow into these sizes. I think my favorites are the 3T because I just love that shade of green, but I really am oohing and ahing over all of them. Thanks for sharing them with us!
July 20th, 2010 at 11:56 am
I love these…. so so so cute!
July 20th, 2010 at 12:05 pm
Great pattern. Love the shop. A friend and I drove “in” (took about 30 mins.) and had great fun there picking out our purchases. I especially liked your 1/2 yard cuts in a very convenient box. We had a local lunch and enjoyed our time. She was actually back sooner than me since she needed more of the same print. We plan on making Whipstitch a frequent stop in the future!
July 20th, 2010 at 4:19 pm
All of them are so sweet and unique but that Etsuko Furuya one is by far my favorite. Love the combination of fabrics!
July 20th, 2010 at 7:12 pm
Love these!
July 20th, 2010 at 7:49 pm
Absolutely adorable! Either of my twin boys would be so cute in this! I hope I win!
July 20th, 2010 at 8:28 pm

Aren’t these so sweet! You couldn’t have picked more beautiful fabrics. The children who get to wear these beautiful clothes are very lucky!
