Meet Greta

11.30.2010

She's here!

Photobucket



I'm so excited to present Miss Greta to you. And she brought along a few of her friends...

Photobucket



This is a PDF sewing pattern, with my usual tutorial photo and text instructions. Greta Doll is 18" tall, and you can customize her with hair accessories, 6 different felt applique patterns (mushroom, pear, apple, umbrella, cupcake, and cherries), and reversible apron.

This pattern recommended for intermediate stitchers and beyond. I do not recommend this as a first project--but if you are comfortable sewing tight curves and working with small seam allowances, you will do fine with the pattern. Let me know if you have any questions, and I'm happy to offer suggestions for felt colors and skin tones (by the way, I used Bella Solids Ivory, Fig Tree Cream, and Parchment for these girls' faces and arms; Parchment is the one that shows up best on camera--there are also some lovely darker solids: Tan, Fig Tree Wheat, Hay, and Paper Bag; all can be found here)

This week is a great time to try out the Greta Doll pattern; all patterns are 20% off in my shop (use coupon code: KICKSTART20) and in the sidebar (no need for promo code), through Friday. So let's get sewing!

Scrappy Apples

9.21.2010

Are you ready? For autumn, I mean. The leaves are turning colors, the kids are in school, and there's a hint of crispness to the air. And one of my favorite things about autumn has arrived: Apples. Apple pies, apple cider, apple...pincushions...

So here you go!

Photobucket



My latest PDF Sewing Pattern, Scrappy Apple Pincushions & Ornaments, is hot out of the oven. The PDF contains full-size pattern pieces for both pincushions and ornaments, along with color photographs, lots of hints and tips, and complete text descriptions for each step. I've aimed to write my patterns so that even beginner sewists should be able to follow along, and as always, you are welcome to post questions (and photos!) in my flickr group, or just shoot me an e-mail.

I'm in love with these mini apple ornaments, they are so cute hanging on their "new" vintage mug tree (found on Etsy).

Don't you think apple ornaments would make excellent holiday teacher gifts this year *hint hint*? And for those of you non-sewists, I will try to list some apples in my shop, soon. As for the pattern, you know where to find it!

So let's get cracking...or peeling, as the case may be, and sew up some apples today!
