At last year's Sew Expo -- the IPCA (Independent Pattern Company Alliance) launched their sewing challenge -- "Midnight Magic".  I am happy to report that it was a HUGE SUCCESS -- and they are going to DO IT AGAIN...

When you buy a pattern from an IPCA member, you are assured that it has been professionally drafted, professionally graded for multiple sizing and include comprehensive illustrated pattern guides.
