Designed by my step-daughter Anna, when she was pregnant with her fourth child, Archie, and wanted a cool outfit for our hot Queensland summer. This playsuit opens out flat, so you can lay your baby on top and clip it on around them. So much easier than trying to push unco-operative arms and legs through holes!
The Archie Playsuit is a great sewing project for beginners and is very versatile. Sew in light quilting cottons for summer, or cosy corduroy for a cool weather jumper over a purchased tee.

Clothesline Patterns
An older neighbour once told me about how she would shop in the morning for a pattern and fabric, sew a new dress in the afternoon and wear it out that night. I love that idea! That's the spirit of Clothesline Patterns, simple clothes-making to be sewn in a single day.
Back in 2008, when I couldn't find the simple, speedy clothing patterns I was looking for, I decided to make them myself. Private patternmaking classes led to full time study in clothing design and technology at MSIT, a technical college in Brisbane, Australia.
I've worked in a number of creative industries - visual merchandising, graphic design, event styling - but now live amongst the sugar cane fields just outside Mackay in rural Queensland, happily making things for my website www.clotheslinepatterns.com.
Our motto at Clothesline : Be you. Everyone else is taken.
