I just made one of the leaf blankets from the New Zealand collection to use as a dog bed for my very large puppy. The second I put it on the floor, he was on it and it’s now his favourite place to hang out when he isn’t busy destroying my garden. It was a very easy and fun make, and it looks great in my living room. I’m now making a couple more to use as furniture throws.
Great designs!
I really enjoyed this quick, simple make. The result was just what I envisioned.
Still a pretty novice sewist and this was my first quilt. Easy to follow instructions and a delightful product. Looking forward to making more.
These patterns are so adorable! They instructions are easy to follow and I could see making these as gifts etc. for sure!! Buying the wings next :)
I used the paw-paw leaf pattern. Made the biggest blanket for a new baby nephew!! Loved it. Tha pattern and the instructions are so clear and easy to use. I will definitely make more of these leaf blankets!!
Gorgeous and easy!!
Agréable à coudre avec peu de fournitures.
Yet another great pattern from T&T. I have been eyeing up this one for a while and when my little girl no longer needed her cot duvet I was sorted. A bed sheet, cot duvet inner and canvas drop sheet later I have a beautiful leaf blanket. As a nzer living in the UK it's so nice to see my girls lying on a bit of NZ! Really easy pattern. Brilliant instructions as always and such a satisfying outcome. I want to make a bunch of the smaller ones for my older daughters dolls now.
These were so fun and easy to make. I have made a few different sizes out of a variety material. I made a few for our cats and they live them. I made one for our school carnival raffle basket which was beach themed. So we decided to go with flamingos on the Beach with a fleece back. We even made some dinosaurs ones. So many uses for these leaves. I made some as a placemat for Mother's day for my mom.
My first attempt at anything like this! So easy to follow and the videos helped also. Loved the result and am looking forward to doing more. Pattern with several sizes is great. Thank you.
