Hooty and Tweet

Lesley, one of our customers, emailed me this morning with a photo of Hooty and Tweet which she made for a friend who is mad about owls.

“I’m just a novice at the moment and still getting to grips with my sewing machine, so they don’t look quite like the examples on the packet, and they’re a bit squint in places, but my friend loves them and I’m quite pleased with them too.”

I think they’re great!  You can make your own owls with the Melly and Me pattern available in our shop

New additions to the Melly and Me family

If you’re like me, then you might not feel like knitting or crocheting in this warm weather.  So how about a sewing project?  We recently added some new Melly and Me patterns to our collection…

From the top left, these are Florence, Dee Dee, Hilda, Clancy and Clarabel, Penguin Parade and Claudine.  The instructions are clear and easy to follow.  You could make one in just a day if you’ve got all the materials to hand.

Meet Phoebe

I’m falling in love with the Melly and Me toy patterns.  This is Phoebe…

Made with fabric from our stash, she was very quick and easy to make and I’m just delighted with how she turned out!  I think that a collection of Melly and Me toys might be beginning ;-)

If you’d like to make Phoebe, then you can get the Melly and Me pattern here.

Rudy from Melly & Me

As I mentioned recently, we’ve just started stocking Melly & Me sewing patterns in the shop now and my Mum immediately grabbed one of the toy patterns, Rudy, and made this little fellow with some Christmas fabric in her stash.

Rudy is just one of the toy patterns that Melly & Me have designed and I’m sure that we’ll be making some more very soon!

NEW! Melly & Me sewing patterns

Melly & Me are two sisters from Australia who have joined forces to produce a collection of wonderful sewing patterns for bags, quilts and soft toys.  We’re delighted to now stock a large selection of patterns from their range.  We love the toys in particular and are already making Rudy the reindeer with some Christmas fabric from our stash!
