Gather some supplies: all-purpose thread a few pins a pinback or hairclip (if you’re so inclined) one piece of fleece that’s a…
New Pattern: Liam the Doll
My older daughters play school together. Actually, they play special needs school. Every doll and stuffed animal in their school has some kind of disability. Some of their special school supplies. We have a furry pig with severe food allergies, a brown bear with leg braces made from pencils strapped to him with masking tape,…
How to Make a Fleece Rose (2 Ways)

I'm very excited today because the Emma the Doll pattern is officially released! Hooray! I've made more than two dozen patterns since turning in my book manuscript last year and I have to say, this one is my favorite. I knew I wanted to design a doll and started to think carefully about what kind…

Baby Bear and Blankie Set
It's so easy to collect fabric. It's beautiful and it feels good to the touch. It's not all that expensive for a small cut, and when you see something you love it's hard to know if you'll be able to find it again. In December I began keeping weekly financial records for my business. Looking…
New Sewing Pattern: Stella the Owl
Look who's coming! I'd like to introduce you to Stella the Owl. Stella is made from a single fat quarter of quilting cotton, plus some scraps of accent fabric. It's so fun to pair prints for her wings and body, then choose another for her feet. I made three owls, but I could keep going…
Benji the Bumblebee: A New Pattern
I've got a brand new pattern in my shop today! I'd like to introduce you to Benji the Bumblebee. I designed this guy in the middle of a very long, cold New England winter. His bright smiling face cheered me up while we waited for green grass and longer days. I made Benji for Stitch…
