Today I listed my first original sewing pattern! A little scary, mostly exciting! The pattern is for a basic dome style teapot cozy or warmer – a good beginning I think in a line of original pattern design publications I’m in the process of perfecting.

Recently added colors include… autumn harvest colored rose brooch pins in camel, wine and pumpkin orange…

Next new items… semi-custom oven mitts — you get to choose the trim and/or lining colors…

Neon Tiziana 12x12 pillow cover

Sunkist Express 12x12 pillow cover

Hot Pink Cosmopolitan 12x12 pillow cover

All are made from recycled high-end decorator fabric swathes.
