So many little ones, so little time

6.26.2012

I frequently receive requests for finished items, and even though I reallyreallyreally want to make elephants and owls for all those sweet baby nurseries and dolls for all the adorable kiddos, I just no longer have the time. Sigh. But. I know there are lots of talented stitchers out there who are making beautiful creations with my patterns, and I would LOVE to direct the requests your way.

So. If you are a Retro Mama Stitcher, please give me a shout in the comments or send me an e-mail. I’ll be posting a directory for where to buy finished RM goodies and I want you to be included!

Please read the following for my simple requirements and other info:

1. Make sure that you are following all my policies (particularly that you put the credit line, "This item was handmade with a Retro Mama pattern" in the description for every product made with one of my patterns).

2. A link to my pattern product listings in your descriptions is very much appreciated, though not required.

3. I specifically get many requests for elephants and pincushions, just so you know.

4. Be sure to post your photos on my Facebook page!

Here are a few finished RM items that I found on Etsy

    Hi Kim!

    First off, I am new to your patterns, but have purchased the adorable elephant pattern and numerous fabrics to create them.

    I would greatly love the opportunity to be included in your directory. My shop is: www.tinyhearts2009.etsy.com

    This is a new shop for me, although there is nothing listed, I am currently creating elephants to add.

    Thank you so much for creating and sharing such adorable patterns!

    I've thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog and catching a glimpse of your talents. I have admired your patterns in some of sewfaithful's work. We are on the same etsy street team (CAST). Although I sew, I use vintage fabrics and lace in my sammysgrammy shop and no patterns - the fabric dictates. Your work just tickles my fancy.

    Hi Kim I love your patterns and have made the Greta doll from your pattern and it is in my shop www.stagiworks.etsy.com. Your pattern by far was the most fun to make. I would love the opportunity to make more of your items, I just purchased the apple pincushion and pleated purse patterns and cant wait to get started. Thanks
