SALE! One Day Only - Leap Day Sale

I love Leap Day - the gift of an extra day in a year. It's one day that only comes once every four years - how could I not do something special?

So I'm having a sale. A very special one-day-only Leap Day sale. Here are the details. . .

29% off all orders of $29 (or more)
BUT ONLY FOR THE FIRST 29 CUSTOMERS

:-)

Here's how to do it. . .
  1. Visit the Shiny Happy World shop.
  2. Add stitchy stuff to your cart. Everything is on sale - kits, supplies, tools, patterns - everything. Make sure you have at least $29 in there (excluding shipping).
  3. Enter discount code LEAP.
  4. Proceed through checkout.
  5. Wait for your goodies to arrive.
Fine print: This can't be used in combination with any other discount, and the discount doesn't apply to shipping. Sorry.

Sale starts NOW and runs until midnight EST, or until 29 people have used the LEAP code - whichever comes first. :-)

Oh - and one more thing. I won't be having another big, everything's included sale like this one until sometime this fall. Just sayin' . . . :-)

Happy shopping!

Best,
Wendi

New Video - How to Sew Up the Bunny Kit

Here are the video instructions to help you assemble this Bunny Kit.

Watch and see how easy it is! You can make one of these guys in about an hour. That's a naptime!

The video is 13 minutes long, and I show you almost all the steps in real time.  There are a couple of additional videos I mention in this one that you might want to take a look at. . .

How to Stuff a Softie
How to Whipstitch (the easiest way to sew up a softie)
How to Ladder Stitch (the invisible way to sew up a softie)

Remember, the kit has basic instructions printed right on the fabric and you can also download detailed printable instructions with step by step photos here.

That's all you need! Well, that and the kit. You can get the kit here.

Happy sewing!

Best,
Wendi

Easter Just Got Easier

Last week I released my first kit - a Shiny Happy Bunny Kit. Thanks so much for your terrific response! There are a couple more kits left in stock - and plenty more on order.

Finishing the bunny kit made me realize that I have a bunch of other Easter/Spring patterns - including some freebies. While there's still plenty (6 weeks!) of crafting time, I thought I'd do a round-up of all of them in one place. Ready? All the links go to the shop, where you can find more info and, of course, buy the patterns. :-)

First up is the Bunny Kit. Easy peasy. Make one in about an hour. That's a single naptime people!


And if you want to use your own fabric there's the Bartholomew Bunny pattern. There's a bit more work involved, but you can still make one in an afternoon.


Is embroidery more your thing? Well, here's a cute little bunny pattern! It'll probably take about 3-4 hours to stitch up - if you're slow like me. :-)


Here's a free pattern for a super-easy embroidered chick. Click here to download the pattern. And click here for a tutorial showing how I mixed applique and embroidery to get the striped egg without any fill stitching.


This chick was one of the three stitched by my daughter in this group. She used the "fill with colored pencils" technique you'll find in this video. The other chicks come from the Chickens embroidery pattern - just enlarged a bit. These are terrific for kids to stitch because they're really simple and super fast.


And finally - there's this free pattern. You know those candy-filled cellophane carrots you see every Easter? Well, this fabric carrot is my riff on that idea. Download the free pattern here.


There. That should be enough to keep you busy for a while. :-)

Happy Monday!

Best,
Wendi
