I am excited to show you this week (and next) some great fall pieces for my tween.This post was originally part of Sew cool for the Tween Scene talking about some of sewist's favorite patterns for tweens.

Orange, flannel and polka dots….
Today we are taking part in Riley Blake Designs Flannel tour...and it is absolutely perfect timing.
