Violette Field Threads: Sophisticated and Fashion Forward

We just LOVE Violette Field Threads designs for their unique fashion sense, classic looks and darling photography. See our selection of patterns Violette Field Threads patterns and kits here.


Ericka and Jessica of Violette Frield Threads

Ericka and Jessica of Violette Field Threads both love to sew. Ericka started to sew as a teenager while Jessica’s husband bought her a sewing machine 10 years ago.  But their passion really ignited when they began creating clothing for their daughters Cairo and Scarlett. 

Josephine Dress

They both say they just can’t get enough of sewing outfits for little girls - darling outfits like the Josephine Dress and the Molly Jacket.



Molly Jacket



 The ladies began their business because they felt that sophisticated, well-written patterns were lacking in the market.

Ericka said, “Let’s do it. Let’s start our own pattern line!” Within a couple of hours the two had ideas and a game plan for implementation.



“We were so nervously excited because we really felt like we were on to something!” said Ericka. 



Lucy Pants

The name, "Violette Field Threads," combined a few ideas. “Violette” is the name of an imagined girl who would be drawn to classy, feminine, and fashionable patterns. “Field” is a term that speaks to the natural, outdoor photography that sets the company apart in its promotional materials. Lastly, “Threads” is about clothing and sewing.

Speaking of beautiful photography, Jessica does about 75 percent of the photos featuring her daughter Scarlett and Ericka’s daughter Cairo. Violette Field Threads also borrows nieces and friends to mix up the looks. Sometimes, the company sends their clothing to other photographers to use on their models/locations just to keep things interesting and fresh.

Two of Ericka and Jessica's favorite designs include Chloe and Whitney. Here's why:

Chloe Dress

The Chloe is the perfect party dress! It was so much fun to create because we drew inspiration from 1950s formal dresses. The photo shoots were some of our favorite to-date because the dress allows for over-the-top syling!

Whitney Pants

The Whitney pants started out as an idea to classic, tailored women's trousers and make them appropriate for children. The pants we ended up with are our favorite - they are so stylish and sophisticated! Our girls are lavished with compliments whenever they wear them, but (believe it or not) they only take about an hour to create!
