Shop News: Price Rises Coming Soon

I've got some non-fun news to share today, which is that I'll be putting up the prices of my PDF sewing patterns slightly at the start of April (2019).

Currently, all the PDF patterns in my Etsy and Big Cartel shops are £2.50 (+VAT if purchased via my Etsy shop), but from April they will be £3 each (+VAT if purchased via Etsy). So, if you've had your eye on any of my current designs now's the time to grab them before the price goes up!

Good news, though: I've got lots of new patterns in progress and I've decided to have a special launch price for all of them (£2.50), rising to the standard price after a week... so you'll still be able to snap up the new patterns at the old price. Don't want to miss when I add a new pattern to my shop? Sign up to my newsletter!

Currently in my shops, you'll find...

Felt Poppies (including a poppy embroidery pattern).

 

Felt Primroses and Auriculas.

 

Felt Robins (including a robin embroidery pattern).

And a wren embroidery pattern, inspired by an old proverb.

 

Visit my Etsy shop for instant pattern downloads, or head to Big Cartel to buy direct from me (if you make a purchase from my Big Cartel shop your pattern(s) will be emailed asap and always within 48 hours).

February's free project for my newsletter subscribers? A pair of little floral embroidery patterns!

These sweet, easy-to-stitch little flowers are designed to be framed in 4 inch embroidery hoops but they'd also be great for embellishing all kinds of spring projects.

There's a large, solo daffodil...

 

 

... and a trio of narcissi (or daffs, I guess, if you stitched them with yellow thread instead of white!)

 

 

Stitch your fave, or embroider them both as a pair! They'd make lovely gifts for Mother's Day or Easter.

Sew Felt Spring Flower Brooches With My Primroses Pattern!

Do you know what the absolute best part of my job is? It's seeing things people have made from my patterns!

This fabulous photo Daniela, aka ivyarch, shared of the brooches she's been making from my Primroses & Auriculas pattern has brought me such joy this week:

I love the bright colours Daniela has chosen and I adore how the brooches look when worn together like that.

Want to sew your own version of these brooches? My Primroses and Auriculas pattern is available as a printable PDF from my Etsy shop as an instant download.

The tutorial includes templates and step by step instructions for sewing primroses and auriculas, floral trios and single flowers (with or without leaves), and lots of ideas for different colour combos.

As well as using it to make brooches (perfect for adorning your jackets and cardigans this spring) you could also use these patterns to make spring flowers for decorating anything you fancy. Hair clips! Floral crowns! Purses! Pincushions! Even cushions!

For even more spring flowers, check out my tutorial archive for loads of free floral projects and sign up to my pattern newsletter - the next free project I'll be sharing is two little daffodil / narcissi embroidery patterns! Here's a sneak peek of one of them...

... I'm just waiting for a delivery of 4 inch embroidery hoops so I can frame both designs and take some decent photos of them, then I'll be sending out the newsletter asap.

This month’s wreath is all about joyful spring colour: fresh spring green yarn paired with bright felt daffodils and narcissi.

Just like real daffofils, the felt version will add a vibrant pop of cheerful colour to wherever you hang this wreath!

As well as making a wreath decorated with felt flowers, you could adapt this tutorial to make floral brooches or headbands, or add stems to the flowers to create a felt bouquet.
