Mama & Baby Babushka
Just putting the finishing touches on the next pattern I will be releasing through Pattern Press, Mama Babushka:

And her Baby Babushka:

The Babushka was published in Handmade Magazine last year and I have since received numerous requests to publish it as a standalone pattern.

I have added the Baby Baushka to this new release and I think it would look very sweet for the Mama Babushka to be surrounded by two, or three, or four Baby Babushkas made of different fabrics :-)

Thanks to Hugo & Elsa for this week’s Eye Spy theme: Eye Spy A Work in Progress
Here we are at the very beginning of one work in progress – fabric choices! Got these beauties from here:

The two on the left are Fortune Sea and Cathedral Dusk by Anna Maria Horner and the two on the right are Wonderland by Momo – Metamophosis Sky and Teatime Tomato. I can see two fawns, a Woodland Girl and a Peg Bear in these :-)
And also in progress, a doodle that will hopefully turn in to a new fabric design:

* Thank you so much to those of you who have voted for my fabric in this week’s Spoonflower fabric contest – your support is a huge encouragement!

I’ve been waiting for this pattern!:) I’m in the middle of making Little Miss Mushroom at the moment and she will most definitely need a little babuska friend!

my first ever attempt at something with a sewing machine!! my babushka is well loved no. i didnt stuff her enough and i still have no idea how to do the base but i am proud of her and she is so pretty. thanks to you.. you inspired me to sew and i love every minute of it. i havent touched the machine much but i love to hand stitch. you are so creative.
