Free Pattern Friday – Strawberry

Leave a reply

free-pattern-friday

Welcome back to Free Pattern Friday!

Today’s pattern is a sweet part of a previously published pattern! While designing a block some years ago for Quiltmaker, I started with a simple strawberry. That strawberry eventually ended up topping a piece of cake.

Strawberry Yum Yum, by Jennifer Ofenstein 2

Yum Yum Strawberry Cake appeared in Vol 9 of Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks.

Today’s pattern is just the strawberry, liberated from the cake! It’s a super simple pattern to paper piece, coming in at 6″ finished.

Enjoy!

Free Pattern Friday – Groovy Mushrooms

2 Replies

free-pattern-friday

Welcome back to Free Pattern Friday!

I always look forward to getting to share with you. ♥

Groovy Mushrooms

Today I’m sharing an old favorite.!

This was my very first hand embroidered pieces made in 2010 or 2011. This was early in my days of learning to hand embroider. This little hoop hangs next to my desk as a reminder that we’re always learning. Also, I think it’s sweet. 🙂

Groovy Mushrooms was inspired by a vintage hand-drawn pattern that came to me in a pile of other things. Date and original designer unknown. I can tell you that the original version was brittle with age and practically fell apart in my hands when I held it. This is my own take on that original doodle.  I share with you now in homage to the unknown, but obviously groovy, artist!

Sewhooked Patron Pattern Club!

Leave a reply

downloads_wordmark_white_on_coral

I’m thrilled to announce something entirely new:  the Sewhooked Patron Pattern Club!

Here’s how it works:

When you become a $10 Sewhooked Patreon Patron, you will be added to the Sewhooked Patron Pattern Club!

Pattern Club members will receive newly released for sale patterns designed by me, Jennifer Ofenstein, that are regularly sold in my Craftsy shop. You will receive these at no additional charge. Think of your Patronage as a monthly subscription to receive my new for sale patterns.

$10 Patrons will receive new patterns via email directly from me after the monthly pledges have gone through. As with Patreon pledges in general, you’re free to cancel at any time.

August $10 Patrons, check your inbox for your very first pattern, French Macaron!

Disclaimer: I will do my best to provide at least one Pattern Club pattern each month, but I can’t guarantee it. Some months may have several, some none at all. Club Members do not have access to all of my paid patterns, only new or newly reissued paid content. I retain the right to cancel Pattern Club at any time. If that is the case, members will be notified prior to the end of the month in time to cancel or change their Patronage.

(The $10 tier was formerly Pattern Dedication. Updated August 2017)

The overlays in today’s video are completely off, but I’m leaving it because, well, I’m human like that. I hope you don’t find it too distracting!

New Pattern! French Macarons to Paper Piece or Hand Embroider

Leave a reply

french macaron title

Fresh from the Sewhooked Suggestion box, with BIG thanks to Robin B for the idea, I’m pleased to share French Macarons, a new pattern now available in my Craftsy Shop.

This pattern is dedicated o $10+ Patron Susan Pepper. Thank you for your support, Susan!

This $2.95 pattern includes:

  • 6 – 4” x 6” individual Macarons patterns to make a 12” pattern to paper piece (12 1/2” unfinished)
  • 10” design to hand embroider (stitch on 12 1/2” or larger fabric)

Get it on Craftsy

macaron half dozen diff colors 12 in

Robin’s suggestion was for French Macarons to paper piece. I wanted a simple way to make as many of these delectable treats as you wanted for your quilt, so instead of designing an overall block, I went for something more modular. Make as many as you like. Make them one color or mix it up for a fun, colorful selection!

I’ve also been wanting to include more hand embroidered designs in my patterns. The embroidery is included here as a bonus to see how you like it as an option. If hand embroidery is something you’d like to see more of my patterns, let me know!
