It has been a wonderful year full of FASHION, thanks to many contributors, and especially for our sewers, Tamara Casey. This month’s pattern from Tamara Casey for Club Grace is Autumn Chill. Autumn Chill is a sewing pattern perfect for fall that features a close-fitting and flared fully lined coat with princess seams, slit pockets in the front side panels, and a wide collar for the 16.5" RTB101 body dolls.

Here’s what another member, Pam Walker, said about the Weekender Pattern: “I made another outfit for Dee and the other girls from Tamara's "Weekender" pattern. I love this one..I think it looks so chic. I added a shawl for the chilly evenings. I love the "Weekender" pattern. I love the fit, the look, and everything about it. Best of all, it is easy and quick to make.”
