Bean Bag Buns Toy Kit

This little guy is the prototype for a new

bean bag pattern kit.

Made of organic cotton sateen, and poly stuffing.

The pattern has 8 to 12 bunnies to a fat quarter,

and 32 to 48 bunnies to a yard,

depending on the fabric type.

The actual bunny from the fabric kit is even cuter!

I added a pom pom tail to this one,

and it is filled with rice.

Now available at Spoonflower, KDL Designs:

Holiday Cheer Stockings

Decorative fabrics for fun and gifts.

I love pre-printed fabric kits that are fun and festive.
It was fun to make this one.

A 4 Stocking kit on a yard.

These were easy and fast to put together,

with straight stitch quilting,

one layer of batting,

and cotton muslin on the insides.

I used coordinating ric rac for loops to hang.
I especially love the little ruffle detail.

Several ornaments are included with this kit,
you can make 20 two dimensional or 10 three dimensional
flower ornaments.

Happy Holidays!

Fabric Pins

I've been thinking of ways to use my fabric swatches and scraps.

I came across some pin backs I had picked up at 

a crafters sale.

 Cat Nap Pin.
Inside is one layer of batting and interfacing.

 Sew pin on back.
Backed with cotton muslin.

Little tractor pin is backed with interfacing.
Cute to identify your belongings,
such as a backpack or luggage,
or inside a coat.

Apple and Pear Pins.

2011 Kitchen Towel Calendar Gifts

I have been working on these

dual purpose gifts for the holidays.

My sharpie marker design.

I Love it in these colors.
Tea towel calendars are also an excellent
way to hide a land line phone jack on your kitchen wall!

Sewing Tiny Things Is Not My Strength, however, I am improving a bit...

I would consider myself a beginner to intermediate sewer,

and a clumsy and impatient one, as well.

I also have a machine with just the basic features.

I really surprised myself when I started coming up

with these little 18 inch doll patterns.
Designing and editing these little patterns is a fun project,
and surprisingly this little outfit pattern below came in
8th of 22 great entries in Spoonflowers 18 inch doll clothing contest. :-)
