A quick heads up: due to inflation and the recent rise in Etsy fees, I'll be increasing my printable PDF pattern prices slightly on Monday (18th April).
I wanted to give you guys some advance notice in case there are any patterns you've had your eye on which you'd like to buy at the lower prices!
UPDATE: my felt teapot and teacup brooch tutorial is now available from my shop, or in my Patreon pattern library.
Subscribe for a small monthly fee and you'll get access to a growing library of PDF patterns and tutorials, with an email whenever I add a new project. You can cancel any time.

Fancy a step by step guide for sewing felt teapot and teacup brooches?
You could also use the templates to make a teapot or teacup ornament (just add a loop of ribbon!) or applique the shapes onto a larger project.
The PDF file includes three easy-to-print sizes of the templates, or you can resize the templates as you prefer.
Today in "PDF patterns that I'm randomly adding to my shops in the week before Christmas"... an embroidery pattern for book lovers!
This design would make a lovely gift for your book-devouring bestie - you can stitch it as it is, or customise it by adding the titles or authors of beloved books to the spines.
The pattern includes two versions of the embroidery pattern: one with the book page lines added and one without in case you'd prefer to stitch those freehand.
I've added another printable PDF pattern to my shops this week: a tutorial for sewing pretty felt peony brooches.
Is it a sensible business strategy to be adding summer flower patterns to my shops in the middle of winter? Probably not, but never mind!
I wanted some simple sit-on-the-sofa-with-my-feet-up tasks to do after packing and posting the last of my pre-Christmas orders... aaaaand so I've ended up launching a bunch of entirely un-seasonal PDFs :)
The peonies are easy to sew but they do involve cutting lots of layers of petals. Don't worry if you think your cutting skills need a bit of improvement though, peony petals are a bit wobbly in real life after all, and cutting all these layers will give you lots of practice.
I always recommend investing in a pair of embroidery scissors to help you with cutting small or fiddly felt shapes - the small, narrow blades make it so much easier than using standard sewing scissors.

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

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.

Sew lots of doves this Christmas with my latest PDF pattern!
The printable PDF pattern includes a step-by-step guide to sewing the ornaments, and templates for two sizes of the birds... plus a Peace on Earth embroidery pattern!
I've included instructions for adding embroidery, sequins, and beads to your doves. You can copy my doves, or get creative and add your own embellishments.
These look so pretty against the dark green of a Christmas tree, and make lovely gifts.
As with all the PDF patterns I sell, once you've bought the doves pattern you have my permission to use it to make items for sale at craft fairs or in your own online shops.

Want to sew some pretty felt poinsettia brooches?
My newly updated Fabulous Flowers PDF sewing pattern is the one for you!
The PDF includes step by step guides to sewing large felt flower brooches...
... plus some matching flower embroidery patterns. When I launched the pattern last year a comment on my Instagram page made me realise that this pattern would be perfect for making poinsettia brooches and I'm so pleased with how they turned out!
These are big and bold brooches which make a real statement. They'd look fabulous pinned to a winter coat, or you could glue several flowers to a homemade Christmas wreath.
Already bought my Fabulous Flowers pattern and want a copy of the updated version? Send me a message with your order number and I'll get in touch as soon as possible.
... or use gold beads instead for a more glam festive look.
These brooches would make lovely Christmas gifts (I've given some as gifts myself!). I'm also happy for you to use patterns you buy from my shops to make items for sale at craft fairs or online.
