Monsters! Meet the Knuckleheads

All the monster patterns are available now! Woo hoo! I'm so excited to finally launch them - I'm running around with flailing Muppet arms! I'll be introducing a different pattern every day this week, but you can find all the patterns here now.

Do you want to make a whole horde of monsters? First - you're awesome! Second - I'd like to give you a discount. If you buy all the patterns in the new Monster Collection, enter the discount code MONSTERHORDE for $5 off the bundle. That's more than a 10% discount. :-) (Please put the patterns in your cart before entering the discount code - otherwise the fairies won't recognize it.)

Meet the Knuckleheads! This pattern is for an easy-to-make softie with three variations. You can get the pattern here.

Clyde (the mopey gray one) is crazy easy to make. He's made from forgiving, easy-to-sew, easy-to-find, cuddly soft polar fleece  If you're looking to make your first softie ever, I'd recommend Clyde. Plus - he really needs a best friend.

Leonard (the purple one) has a very hairy back. Some people think he was born in the wrong decade, but he thinks he's pretty awesome just the way he is. :-) He's made from a mix of faux fur and woven cotton fabric - a great way to get started working with fur.

Mary Margaret (the red one) has a few self-control issues - but she has a kind heart and she loves to give hugs with those long skinny arms.

The finished softies are 8 inches tall - a great size for hugging. :-)

With one pattern you can make a whole horde of monsters. After you make the basic Knuckleheads you can play mad scientist and start rearranging the parts. Add Mary Margaret's long arms to Leonard. Replace Clyde's ears with Leonard's horns. Give Clyde's ears to Mary Margaret. I'm sure there's a limit to the number of combinations possible, but I don't remember how to do that kind of math. :-)

This is a very easy pattern - appropriate for beginners. Can you control the speed of your machine? Are you comfortable sewing straight lines and turning corners? Then you can sew this pattern.

You get full-sized pattern pieces - no enlarging needed.

The 17-page pattern is loaded with full-color step-by-step photos and very clear instructions PLUS links to videos teaching you all the techniques you need to know to complete the project. You can totally make this!

I designed this pattern to be extremely easy. It has a flat bottom to sit nicely, but it's not set in (trickier to sew). Instead it's constructed like the base of a tote bag. So easy! It's a great pattern for kids to sew!

I'm so excited to introduce the new collection! I wish I could invite you all over for cupcakes and a chance to pet and hug the new softies - but most of you live so far away! :-) So instead I'm having a little giveaway here.

What are the prizes? They're pretty dang good! There are four prizes - one for every day through Thursday. . .

Two Monster-Making supply packs - you'll get enough faux fur to make any of the softies, and enough polar fleece to make another. You'll also get a small pack of fun safety eyes and some plastic pellets for stuffing.

Two Getting Stared with Felt supply packs - you'll get a sheet of every color felt I used to make the Oddballs, plus a few sheets of Printable Freezer Paper and The Magical Embroidery Stuff and a Sulky Iron-On Transfer Pen.

To enter - just leave a comment on this post. I'd love to know which of the Knuckleheads is your favorite and who you'd like to make it for. :-) I'll draw a random winner every day and then Friday I'll announce a Monster-Sew-Along for the month of March - with prizes for that too!

Spoolhardy Girl won this giveaway - but there are more every day this week so come back!

Please help me spread the word about the new patterns! Share them on Facebook, tweet about them, pin them to Pinterest. I do appreciate it. :-)
