Winter Birds & needlecraft from the year

Winter Birds / A free pattern for December (click the image to download)

I finished the sample for, Good Morning, in April of this year - it was made from a hand drawn pattern.

I’ve thought of putting together a collection of hand drawn patterns - I enjoy the slower, meditative process which allows me to simplify the design. I think this translates to more relaxing stitching.

I use pencil crayon, pencil & watercolour on graph paper

a few that haven’t been developed into patterns yet - but might be part of a book soon.

Another meditative craft I’ve picked up recently is crochet. There are a lot of good YouTube tutorials to follow step by step. I hope to figure out vests and sweaters :^) (all thrift store and scrap yarn)

I will also continue adding to the Soup for Lunch shop in the new year - more vintage textiles & pattern books to come:
