do you want to make one of us?
I really hope so because work on patternbook volume number 1 is underway! Dolls are done, pattern pieces are scanned and now it’s time to get working on the diagrams and instructions and the fun stuff – design and layout. Right now we’re in the middle of a heated discussion on scalloped borders. Wish us luck!
A captivating gang of 24 huggable, lovable creatures to sew—from classics like Margot, a topsy-turvy doll, and the button-jointed teddy bear Bjorn Bjornson, to irresistible Evelyn, a wool felt inchworm decked out in mod glasses and a kerchief, and Koji, a fiercely cute spiked softie monster. There’s something for everyone here—from kids to grown-ups and from beginning sewers to advanced dollmakers. Published by STC Craft, August, 2010.
Good luck! I can’t wait until it’s finished! =)
