I’ve had this rainbow Sassafras paper forever. Of course when I was trying to make this card yesterday I couldn’t find it for the life of me. After pulling out every patterned paper I own and going through them one by one I finally found it. It’s perfect for this cute little leprechaun from Simply Charmed. The pot of gold on the inside is also from Simply Charmed and the card shape is from Campin’ Critters. The stamped face is from Peachy Keen.

Ok, so it’s kind of cheesy. But we do woof our niece and nephews so it works. I’m pretty sure they’ll love it for Valentines. It’s coming up your know and I’m so on top of it this year. The dog and the card shape are from Create a Critter. The stamped face is from Peachy Keen Stamps.

Stuffed Owl PDF Pattern

Finished owl measures approximately 6.5X6.5

DOWNLOAD HERE: Stuffed Owl Pattern

Hope I did it right!! It’s my first time figuring out how to attach a PDF. The pattern should fill your entire 8.5X11 sheet of paper right up to the edges. If there are any issues leave a comment and I’ll get ‘er fixed.

Supplies needed-

fabric scraps

scissors

sewing machine

needle and thread

stuffing

fusible webbing (These are the two that I use. You only need one.)
iron/ironing board

Pellon Wonder Under- must sew around the perimeter
Thermo Web Heat n’ Bond No Sew- if you don’t want to sew the pieces down

Print your pattern and cut out the pieces. You’ll need two of everything except the beak.

Pick out your fabrics. Trace and cut out the front and back of your owl. I made the back of my owls the same fabric as the wings.

The rest of the pattern pieces trace on the smooth paper side of your fusible webbing. Cut out around the pieces and iron them on to your fabric selections. Follow the directions on the back of the package.

Start with the wings. Match them up to the outside edge of the owls body. If they don’t match perfectly no big deal. You won’t be able to tell once you’ve sewn around the owl body at the end.

Next attach the back layer of the eyes (I did them in green). I then layered the second layer (white) of the eyes and sewed only on the second layer. Once you’ve sewn down the wings and eyes add the feet, the third layer of the eye (black), and the feet. Sew them all down. *You can also use the “No Sew” Heat n’ Bond if you prefer to not sew each layer down.

Pin the front of your owl and the back together with the back side of the fabrics showing. Sew a 1/4 inch seam around your owl leaving an opening at the bottom for turning and stuffing.

Turn your owl right side out. Make sure to use a pencil or some other pointy object to push the ears out. Stuff him and then sew your opening shut.

When you are done your kids will look like this.

Turkey Applique Pattern

Lisa — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 06:07:05 +0000

I hadn’t made my mom and mom-in-law a Thanksgiving pillow cover for last year’s Christmas gift (pillows with changeable covers for each holiday). It took me a couple tries but I finally made a Turkey pattern I love. If you love it too go ahead and grab the pattern. Feel free to use the pattern for personal use and to create projects to sell. Just don’t copy the pattern and sell it as your own.

Supplies needed-

fabric scraps

scissors

sewing machine

buttons for eyes

needle and thread

fusible webbing (These are the two that I use. You only need one.)
iron/ironing board

Pellon Wonder Under- must sew around the perimeter
Thermo Web Heat n’ Bond No Sew- if you don’t want to sew the pieces down

DOWNLOAD THE PATTERN HERE

(2 pages)

Print the pattern and cut out the pieces. You’ll need a total of seven of the back tail feathers. Trace the pattern pieces on to the smooth side of your fusible webbing. Now cut around the pieces you’ve traced leaving some negative space around each one.

Above is a photo showing the order of placement for each piece. I measured to the middle of my fabric for the top of my pillow and then situated my top tail feather from there. The pillow form shown in the photos is 14 inches square. Follow the directions on the back of your fusible webbing.

I like to sew around each piece which is needed if you use the Pellon wonder under. For the pieces that have the same number that just means I iron them on at the same time and then sew them both down before moving on.

I hope that makes sense and I haven’t left anything out. If I have please leave me a comment and I’ll get it fixed asap. Happy crafting.

Joy

Lisa — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 06:02:10 +0000

I decided my Grammy could use a little joy for Christmas. She just had knee surgery. I bought it unfinished from this etsy shop here.

The bell came in red and I just left it as is, blemishes and all. The J and Y are covered in sparkly s.e.i. On the Coast patterned paper and then inked.
