There were a lot of entries (324!) to last week’s Sheep themed Spoonflower contest – Viriginia O’s Night, Night Sleep Tight was a lovely winning design, beautifully drawn and I liked the simple colour palette of white lines on a blue/ grey background. My design came 94th with 118 votes – thank you to anyone who voted for it! You can see all the entries here.
This week’s challenge was to create a cut and sew pattern to make a plush mythical creature toy. The pattern and instructions all had to fit on a fat quarter of linen-cotton canvas. Although I have sewn little toys before I had never designed a pattern like this, so I was looking forward to the challenge of something new! It was tempting to try and make a three dimensional creature, but with time constraints I thought I should keep the design as simple as possible. I chose a dragon as my mythical creature and designed it with a front and back body piece and 2 wing pieces to be sewn onto the back piece.
Once I have a sample printed I will show you how it looks made up, then can start offering the fabric for sale in my Spoonflower shop.
