Today is the day!
It's finally complete!
My first pattern is available for PDF instant download
in my etsy shop!
You may remember the pincushion and thread catcher set
I made a few months back.....
While blog hopping I happened upon "Threads on My Socks"
owned by Susie Layman, a super talented illustrator.
She is so amazingly gifted!
I contacted her and asked if she would be interested
in designing an embroidery pattern
for the top of the pincushion I was working on.
She said yes
and the rest is history!
We have been working together since then
and I'm so proud of the both of us.
This project could not have come together the way is has
without her amazing skills!
I feel so blessed to have met her :)
We are already working on other patterns
to be released soon.
Now you can see what I've been so excited about.
I want all of you to get a chance to share our excitement.
We are hosting a giveaway!
Would you like to win the Pins & Snips Stay Put
Pincushion and Thread Catcher
that was used in our photos for the pattern?
I used "Ruby" by Moda
and the embroidery was done by Susie Layman.
Here's how you can win it.....

And for those of you who don't embroider,
you can still use this pattern to make an awesome set
by using any fun fabrics you have
or "fussy cutting" the top panel for the pincushion
as my friend Regena did when she tested the pattern for us.
You can see her version HERE.
Darn, I don't qualify but some lucky dog is gonna win this baby!! Luckeeeeeeeeee
ReplyDeleteAwesome, awesome, awesome! Congratulations my friend!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Karen. Hope this new venture brings you much success. I love this and would love to win it as I do not sew at all..only cross stitch and some embroidery..so to win this already made up would be great. I pinned to my Pinterest page and posted link on my Crazy Annie's Stitchin FB page and my personal FB page also. Good luck on this awesome new product line of yours.
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern! So darn cute! I pinned it on my " I love sewing" board. My User name is usagypsy(Nancy). Thanks for the chance :)

I'd pin this, but clicking on the Etsy box on the left didn't work for me. Searching Etsy under your blog name brought up one item that, unfortunately, wasn't the pattern. Maybe you could put a link of the word "Etsy" in this post??
ReplyDeleteIn any case, congrats on your first pattern!
