So I just sewed a pair of doll legs on backwards for the third time. THIRD! So I’m taking a little computer break. How about some relaxing embroidery instead. The Bear & Bunny pattern is up now on the freebies page. And thanks for asking after the Tulip Fairy, she and her friends will be up in the shop later this week.
ok… 4th time’s a charm
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.
so cute!
Oh my goodness- those are very, very cute. Thanks for sharing the patterns with us!
Thank you very much!
thank you! I have the perfect little person to make these for…

Oh my gosh… you know what my first thought was as soon as the picture started coming up? Those cookies look sooooooooo good. Can you guess where my brain is right now……? They really are very cute!
So cute! Thanks for sharing your designs. I know how you feel about sewing things wrong time after time. How come we just can’t get it in our brain right the first time? haha. Good lucky on your dolly! 🙂
Many thanks for the embroidery patterns!
They are adorable, thank you for sharing the pattern. Thanks for sharing your foibles too. I get so frustrated sometimes as a beginning sewer, it’s comforting to know I’ll probably make the same mistakes on occasion years from now as well.
Sorry, but I kind of had to smile at the “3 times wrong” thing… So you do that, too? Once, after picking up my seam ripper for the third time for the same. darn. seam, I was ready to sell my machine and never sew a thing again. You make me realize we all have days like that. Hope yours gets infinitely better!
Thanks for the free pattern, it’s appreciated so very much. Looking forward to the Flower Fairies.
Only three times? It took me an hour and a half just to post on my blog today because i just couldn’t get my little dyslexic brain to figure out what i was doing wrong! Needless to say, i have the same troubles sewing too! 🙂
So cute! Thank you so much for the freebie lovin’! I made three of your wee bunnies for Easter gifts (and donated a wee amount for your generousity). Again, thanks!!
Thanks for these! I love the way the bunny has great big feet just like me!
soooo cute~~ i love your works so much!!
Yay! Thanks for this. It looks like so much fun 🙂
Thank for these! They’re cute. And I can hardly wait for the new stitchette, it’s the best one yet I think.
These are adorable. Thanks for putting them up as freebies. Considering all you’ve been through lately… makes the gesture even more generous. You certainly have a lot of support and respect from the blogging/crafty world and it’s not hard to see why.
Hi!
I check your blog everyday. It makes my day to see fun creations online; smily faces of dolls and cats… I checked a couple of times your dolls on your blog and they really make my day. Little things put a smile on my face. Continue the great work. You are very talented.
All the best
Tee hee, I am glad to know that I am not the only one who sews things on wrong more than once!
so glad to hear how many others do that sort of thing–several times in a row…and i thought i was the only one.
Oh dear, how sweet!! Thanks for these patterns!!
I just love your designs – so simple and spare, but yet, the detail! Love the little collar on the bear – too much.
Thank you so much for sharing.
I first have to finish the little spaceboy i bought, but after that I will be doing the embrodery.
YOu are really generous
Thanks for the awesome patterns. I am looking forward to trying my hand at them…and then getting the tuplip fairy ones when they come out. On a freaky computery website note, is anyone else having problems opening the freebies page? It hangs up everytime trying to upload the donate button (according to the screen note). Just wondering.
These are super cute! Thanks! One thing I love about your work is that it has your mark on it. All of your things are so beautifully done and have the same style some how. Your style! Love it!
Thanks for sharing the patterns!! : ]
Like others, I am an everyday checker of this site.
I am so enamored of yesterday’s banner, I am beside myself. And now these cute stitchy patterns?!? I will be working my fingers to the bone!!
Gros bises for the patterns and i can’t wait for the tulip fairy!!
So sweet! Thank you!!!
Those are really cute–I especially like the shoelaces on the little boy–cute touch!!
Smiles, Karen
How cute!
oh how cute! i was looking for an embroidery pattern!
The seam-ripper is the most worn tool on my sewing desk.
Thank you for the gorgeous patterns!
So adorable! Thanks for sharing. I LOVE your embroidery designs!
LOL… i am so glad you do it to! My poor make along girl sat in a draw for weeks cause her legs were backwards!!
De-lurking to say that these are so cute! You always seem to add to my pile of new projects.
Thanks for sharing!
You are so sweet to share with all of us! Thank you so much!
wowa – glad that some else does super stupid things behind the sewing machine
these are ‘sew’ cool! lol
Thanks for your generosity Hilary, these are lovely!
These are amazingly adorable. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talents!
I am at my end trying to set up my website! Nothing is working right and my ad came out earlier than expected so I have people coming to a website with no way to purchase any of my patterns. urrgh! I come over here for inspiration (maybe a little creative thearpy too)and once again you have made my day :). I love the way you have your site set up and I hope mine will look this good one day!
Don’t know if you read Dress a Day blog, but she did a post today that I thought you’d enjoy
