On Monday this week, I shared some photos I took of the finished dragon pincushion before I mailed it off to my “sewing swap” partner. Today I’m offering the second of two free, printable pincushion patterns, so you can make my “Sleepy Baby Dragon” pincushion too. (Look back at yesterday’s post for pattern #1.) Once again, this pincushion is not for the novice sewist! It’s quite difficult to … Continue reading #PinCushions make great #MothersDay #gifts

Here we see an image of an 18 inch Madame Alexander doll wearing a traditional Swedish costume. Around her waist is a felt, hand-embroidered "pocket," a type of purse or bag worn around the waist. The image is watermarked with the website where you can download free printable PDF sewing patterns for making this 18 inch doll outfit, including the pocket, a Pilgrim-style hat or bonnet, a handkerchief, a vest, an apron, a skirt, and a long-sleeved shirt with collar : ChellyWood.com

#Sewing Pattern for #Doll #Tiara

Yesterday I showed you a picture of the burgundy-colored doll tiara I planned to make for this week’s tutorial. Today I’m going to give you the pattern for it. Remember, when you download my patterns, it’s important to enlarge them to fit a regular-sized sheet of paper (8.5 x 11 inches or 216 x 279 mm) before printing.
