Pattern Updates

June 17, 2013

I'm working my way through my older patterns to bring them up to my current style. This means I'm sewing new samples, taking some new photos, adding additional links to helpful blog posts, and generally polishing each one until it's shiny and new.

New Dachshund Cover
Darcy the Dachshund PDF Sewing Pattern

I worked on sewing all new dachshunds this weekend. I used this awesome piece of cheater patchwork that I've been saving for years to line her ears. It's so nice to actually use this treasured bit of fabric and this was the perfect project.

Another Darcy. I love this burnt sienna fleece! Such a perfect color for a weiner dog.

Spend an afternoon sewing a dachshund. It's fun! The pattern is in my shop now.

And my pattern for the Six Months of Softies subscription club was released on Friday. Meet Hadley the Horse:

Hadley the Horse 3-in-1

As the cover says, this pattern includes instructions to make not only a horse, but a zebra and unicorn as well. One basic set of templates – three fun softies to make! Find out more about Six Months of Softies and see the other Hadley variations right here.

Happy sewing!

    I recognize that patchwork fabric, haha! Did I really send that to you years ago? (Shows how long I’ve been reading your blog) 😉
