I made the largest doll-sized elm leaf. Instructions were clear and I appreciated the attention to everything that makes those leaves unique. I will definitely follow up and make some child-sized leaves.
Sky & clouds Mum, leaves can reflect what’s above!!
2nd leaf blanket made for my grandson with fabric picked by his Mum (Taylor)
Used wool/cotton batting because she wanted the softness and made it slightly larger as we discovered my grandson likes to sleep rolled in his 🍃 blanket (picture of his first blanket)
Thanks T&T for your beautiful, creative and wholesome designs
I am still waiting for my pattern to be delivered
I used the snak child oak leaf pattern to make a bath mat, it's perfect! Great instructions with lots of helpful tips and tricks, very beginner friendly! I was able to complete it in a single day with plenty of interruptions 😄
Made a small leaf from the North American collection using my projector and it worked wonderfully! Such a cute idea - perfect for a baby shower gift!
Making the leaves involved updating Adobe to print the pattern, and then sticking lots of A4 sheets together to get the full pattern, I transferred it onto some pattern paper which made it easier to handle. I felt I had achieved as I’m a bit of a technophobe, but it’ll be dead easy another time. I’ve made the large banana leaf and large Lilly pad, they look great, really simple to follow the video instructions. They are wrapped up already with a cuddly monkey and frog respectively as gifts for my lovely nieces for Christmas. Great patterns, and nice to contribute to such an important cause, very well done to the little girl, I hope she raises lots of money and trees.
I loved making this pattern - the maple leaf. It was easy, and the design is super effective and finishes so beautifully.
I made one as a Christmas gift for a baby, and it's going to be my go to gift from now on.
We absolutely LOVE our leaves! I can't wait to make a bunch more for all seasons! They are going to make great seasonal, nature-inspired decor.
