Connie Crawford

In August, 2018,  Islander Sewing Systems acquired Fashion Patterns by Coni and we are pleased to be the ones that carry on her product line and legacy. Although Connie is on hiatus, her products speak for themselves. We invite you to enjoy our newsletter, products and Facebook Live program, Tuesday's at Two.
