Maybe the Cutest Pattern Ever Made

Lisa

I never quite know what I’ll come across in my stash, so when I saw this little cutie, it intrigued me. It’s a Learn to Sew pattern from Advance, which I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen, especially when I read the instructions:

The pretty side. Isn’t that the cutest thing ever? Apparently this series of patterns were written for children doing their first sewing projects, so they are written especially for children. I suspect that I would do well with these instructions. I hope to find more like this, because I just think it’s the sweetest thing ever. And the pattern is cute too.

Fabulous Friday

As you might imagine, after last week’s arrival of 10,000 patterns — no joke, folks, it is 10,000 — one could probably surmise that I’ve been just a wee bit busy. It’s actually been like Christmas in May here, with all of the beautiful designs I’ve seen. I’m slowly working my way through them, as well as building another website, because hey, who’s a glutton for punishment? THIS GIRL.

I may have squealed a little bit when I came across this beauty. I’d imagine that there is a fair bit of handwork in it, but it’s glorious, nonetheless.
