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.
I have made the large lily pad in double gauze and am beyond happy with the result! The baby loves it as well! It's a relatively easy make, so it should be suitable for beginners, too. Great pattern!
These were a great re-introduction to machine sewing for me, and my first time really working with a pattern. They were simple to follow, and the videos were appreciated. I made three of them for my daughters, and they are the cutest things. I had no issues feeling successful in making these!
I bought the tropical leaves blanket to make for the new baby in our family. The patterns are great. The video tutorials are perfect! No messing around- right to the point of the tutorial- quick and easy!! My favorite video tutorial ever!
