Does Anyone Want Some Free Patterns?

Are you ready for some new projects? I have a few patterns I would love to share with everyone.


Children's Spats

Any mother is in need of this pattern! Why? When your child dresses up for halloween, school play, or just at home this pattern is essential! It is essential because it gives finishes off the entire costume. Who wants to see sneakers on a Knight of the Round Table, or on Spider Man?

Something else this pattern can be used for is a base to attached stuffed bird, bear, anything feet! The sky is the limit!!


Fingerless Gloves:

These gloves can be made out of any fabric. Or if you have any old t-shirts or sweaters you would like to recycle why not make a pair of Fingerless Gloves!



SunBonnet:

This pattern is one I recently drafted. The size I drafted it in was fine for my five year old and also on me! You can make one using cotton fabric with fun prints! Or various colours! Or silks with some pretty subtle decor!

I began with a paper pattern, but I adjusted the brim/cape to be slightly smaller. And the middle piece to gather with my brim at the back.

The brim is also very beautiful folded back at an angle! This is just another of the many ways this can be worn!!

So, begin sewing! To download PDFs of the patterns just click on the pattern image!
Hope you enjoy these patterns!! I would love to see what you make with them!
