I'm so excited (and a little bit exhausted) to say we have a new sewing pattern in the shop this afternoon. Last week I was gearing up to make a pile of folkster dolls for the shop when I thought it'd be fun to tweak her outfit a bit and make a set of holiday elves for the shop. Well she turned out so dang cute I became determined to make her into a new PDF pattern for the shop just in time for holiday crafting.
So here she is the basic Folkster doll pattern is Elise...
These are such fun dolls to make. They sew up quick and the yarn hair is super fun and easy, and very secure which is great for little ones with grabby hands. The hat is sewn in place but the skirt and shoes can be left removable. Pick out fun heavyweight fabrics for her to make her extra durable -- fun flannels, printed corduroy, heavyweight cottons, wool and wool felt. I start by picking out a favorite ribbon for trim on the cap and go from there.
The PDF pattern is here in the shop and I'm going to be super quick on the draw so everyone gets their PDFs asap. And since we now have two NEW holiday crafting patterns, Farm Folk X-Stitchettes and Elise & Elsa Elf, we're going to put our previous holiday pattern offerings on sale for the month of December. Christmas Wishes Stitchettes and the Mr. & Mrs. Gnome (who make excellent elves themselves) are now on sale for just $5 each!! Happy crafting and as always, thanks so much for your support of our little shop!
