Meet Cat & Mouse, they are great friends and love to sit in unexpected places around your house. Cat makes a fun paperweight and pin cushion; Mouse can be a cat toy. Easy and quick to sew from scraps, they make adorable gifts. This is a pdf pattern and 5 pages of English instructions. Free shipping! I email it straight to you. Cat is 6" tall and weighted so she will sit up straight- great for displaying broaches too! Mouse can have catnip added for a little extra fun.

2011 was a Great Year!
Happy New Year to everyone! Doing what I usually do at the beginning of a new year- I look back over the old one. The most popular pattern for 2011 was the Gig Bag ! Lots of musical sewing enthusiasts and friends out there. My most recent release was the Chatelaine, to hold sewing tools . It is too new to be the top seller yet, but I have great hopes for this year. Most of my sales come from the USA, but I'd like to also thank my customers from England, Australia, Canada, Poland and other points around the globe! I couldn't do what I do without any of you so thank you for reading my blog, checking out my etsy shop , and telling your friends about me. I will have a new announcement on Friday but for now, my wish for you all is a happy, prosperous and healthful 2012!

New Chatelaine Pattern- keeps your most used sewing tools handy!
A chatelaine was the mistress of the chateau and/or keeper of keys and household tools. I just finished this pattern to sew one yourself! The chatelaine features 5 pockets and a pin cushion. I load mine with scissors, flashlight, screw driver, post it notes, pen, pencil, pins, needles, thimble, bodkin and a seam ripper.
It has been a real lifesaver when I teach classes. I was always ending up at the opposit end of the room from my tools. It would be quite handy for any kind of craft really. There are 2 safety straps on the 2 bottom pockets to keep tools where you need them!
As always, free shipping!

New Pattern- Cabin Pillow and Quilt
I just finished up a new pattern- Cabin Pillow and Quilt
You get 8 pages of photos and instructions explaining how to make this great pillow and quilt. Instructions are in English and come straight to your e-mail so shipping is free!
I call this a Cabin design because it is based on a log cabin block. Easy to sew. Use up your scraps!
These would be great as a matching set or, like my examples, separates destined for different houses. I actually made a pair of pillows to sell but my family liked them so much I had to keep them!

Most Popular Purse Pattern
My most popular purse pattern is the Weekend Bag or Lola. She is relaxed and easy going, no hardware involved so you probably have enough supplies at home already! A great summer bag as shown or change the fabric to richly textured upholstery remnants for an autumn/ winter bag. I was inspired to create this pattern because a friend gave me the fabric and I was excited to make something RIGHT NOW! So I used what was in my stash and I love the results.

Cardigan to Purse
This is a special order to make a purse from a cardigan. The sweater is 100% wool but refused to felt, so I inserted a sturdy lining to keep it from sagging. There were alot of holes that needed mending.
I replaced all the buttons with more substantial metal ones. I used everything except the sleeves.
The finished purse has a large outside pocket created by the V neck (see left, below). It also has a large secret pocket reached by unbuttoning the front (see right, below). The strap is webbing with a strip of the lining fabric sewn on top.
For step by step instructions on how to make similar purses from sweaters, see my shop http://catsongstitchery.etsy.com/
