I’m super excited to be launching my newest pattern, the Chit Chat Puppet! I’ve been interested in making open-mouthed puppets for a long time now and finally got some time to explore them over the summer. I made so many prototypes in an effort to come up with a design that would be adorable, easy…
Pattern in Progress
I’m working on a new pattern for a little owl. This will actually be my first print pattern! It’ll be a two-sided card and should be ready in a few months. I wanted this owl to be a project you could make in an hour and hold in the palm of your hand – a…
Free Pattern: Ferdinand the Frog
Ferdinand is a lovable frog, perfect for Valentine’s Day or any day. He’s got Velcro hands and feet so that he can hug a soft, plush heart (or a box of candy or another gift you have in mind). Oh, and with that golden crown he’s also a frog prince. To make Ferdinand you’ll need:…
Free Pattern: The Josephine Doll
Today I have a fun, free pattern to share with you: the Josephine Doll. I made 10 of these dolls last week for a members of my local artists group. We do a holiday art exchange each year. Everyone makes a series of tiny originals and we put them all out on a table and…
Maya the Mermaid and a Finished Doll Quilt
A few months ago I was searching for a hand sewing project I could do in the evenings and weekends while relaxing with my family. I gave English Paper Piecing a try and fell in love. Here's why EPP is perfect for me: You don't have to cut anything in a straight line with a…

Halloween Sewing Pattern: Candace the Candy Corn
It's officially fall, which means Halloween is just around the corner. I don't know about you, but candy corn is one of my favorite October treats. If I eat too much of it, though, I feel like this… Fortunately, we now have Candace the Candy Corn! The plush version will give you a hug instead…
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,…
Emma: A Fleece Doll to Sew
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…
New Pattern: Emma Doll
Say hello to Emma and her best friend, Emma! I’m sewing a third Emma today. My new doll pattern will be released next week and I really hope you like her. She’s fleece and entirely machine sewn so she’s not only cute and stylish, but she’s also durable and machine washable. It’s good that we…
