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.
The lovely North American Leaf bundle is another beautiful, well drafted pattern, with clear, excellent instructions/videos. I made a variety of doll and child-sized leaves for our children. Beautiful for indoor and outdoor use, it's like bringing a bit of nature into our home. The leaf blankets are functional and beautiful.
As a newbie quilter I was delighted with my results making a set of elm leaves, one of the American Leaves collection. The written tutorials and helpful videos that Twig & Tale include with each of their patterns are so logical to follow that even a beginner can sew professional looking pieces without any stress. I choose to make my leaves in a heavy wool upholstery fabric (which I had eco printed using leaves from my garden) with an old woollen blanket for the batting. The tips for turning the points and ways of transferring the veins to the fabric were excellent and gave me the confidence to run with my gut. Instead of copying the lines exactly I just drew them freehand as that was a lot less stressful for me. T&T’s patterns encourage one to be creative, give loads of options and photographic inspiration so I’m now looking forward to making some other leaves as presents for the holiday season!
