Little Felt Robins PDF Pattern

Psst - there's a new PDF pattern in my shops!

 

You can use this tutorial to sew sweet little felt robin brooches or Christmas ornament... with or without sequins! 

The printable PDF file includes step by step photos and instructions, plus three easy-to-print sizes of the templates. 

 

As with all the PDF patterns I sell, once you've bought my little robins pattern you have my permission to use it to make items for sale at craft fairs or in your own online shops.

A Wonderful Vintage Cross Stitch Booklet

Talking of my recent Instagram sales, last weekend I sold an utterly wonderful vintage cross stitch pattern booklet.

 

It got snapped up super quickly but it was so lovely I feel like it needs to be immortalised here on my blog so you can a) "ooooh" over its gorgeousness and b) know to buy it for yourself IMMEDIATELY if you ever come across a copy!!!

 
"Points de Croix Scandinaves" was published by the thread company DMC and OH MY GOSH IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL. It's got some lovely Christmas and Easter designs, some nice borders and useful alphabets, and pages of fruit and toys plus some charming ships and buildings... but it's the wildlife pages that just slay me.

Those mushrooms alone!! Just magnificent.

I also adore these birds and butterflies...

... and these lovely wildflowers (can you spot the cricket?)

I'd be hard pressed to pick a favourite design, but I have a lot of love in my heart for the floral wreath with the little bee. So delightful!

Which one's your fave?

Felt Greenfinches Tutorial (& a Greenfinch Embroidery Pattern!)

Another week, another new pattern in my shops! I am on a ROLL at the moment.

My latest printable PDF pattern is based on a lovely British garden bird: the greenfinch!

 

The PDF file includes detailed step by step instructions for sewing felt greenfinch brooches and ornaments. There are lots of tips, loads of step photos, and three easy-to-print sizes of the templates so you can easily make bigger greenfinches.

 

I've made and sold so many felt birds over the years, I just adore them! Here are a few I stitched along with some robins (also available as a pattern in my shops).

When you buy any patterns from my shops you have my permission to use them to make handmade things to sell at craft fairs or online, so maybe you'll be stitching up a whole batch of greenfinches soon?

As well as the felt version, I've included a greenfinch embroidery pattern. This is lovely and easy to sew with backstitch and looks fab framed in a 5 inch embroidery hoop.

My bird patterns have been works in progress for a while (I shared this in-progress pic of the greenfinch embroidery last spring, I think!), life has rather got in the way of me finishing them but I hope you'll think they're worth the wait. I'm hoping to have lots more added to my shops in 2020!
