New Simplicity Patterns is Available: #1131

May 3, 2015

Simplicity 1131I’m so excited to show you my new Simplicity pattern – #1131. This is a selection of under the sea softies. I haven’t seen the inside yet, but they asked permission to use my step-by-step photos and instructions for this one (which is the first time they’ve made this request). Perhaps it looks different from the typical pattern instructions? I’ll have to head to Joann’s this week and check it out.

This is my fifth licensed pattern and I’m so happy with all of them. The others are #1681, #1649, #1386, and #1218.

    Wonderful! Such a great collection!
    We have just been working on an underwater assortment for Bo Twal. There are such great characters and animals to choose from.

    Congratulations, they all look great. That shark is both scary and adorable!

    Love it!!
