Tomte

I showed you the first Tomte I sewed last week.  This is the rest of the clan.  

It's been a sew a long with a bunch of other folk all around the world.  It is always interesting to see all the different ways people make them.  Mine are fairly ordinary though.  Blue sky, white snow, green trees.  You get the idea.  They were a lot of fun.  I still haven't done the 2 girl designs though.  Maybe after Christmas I will get them back out & maybe even turn them into something.  

I finally started getting the hang of the foundation paper piecing too.  Good fun to try new things!  

These designs are by Moss And Lotus...  check them out.

This one I had to include.  The design on the left is an "ugly sweater pattern" from kidgiddy.  It's from the sister of the designer of the Tomte.  So I decided that I needed to make this Tomte a match sweater block ..  Turned out pretty cute I think.   Now I need to make a whole bunch of sweaters! 

Sew Along

It's not like I don't have plenty of other things to do.  

But I saw this one Instagram & had to join.  I had purchased the pattern bundle for the gnomes last year.  

So I got stuck in.  Foundation paper piecing again, & after the quilt recently I was pretty impressed that I had a clue now.  Some of the things I learnt from that helped a lot now.  

Not that it went without errors.  Bwahahahha...  I don't start easily either...  why not begin with trying to pattern match a stripe fabric.  But I really love this little Tomte's sweater.  

Pattern is fro Moss & Lotus on Etsy.
