Lady Bug Sewing Pattern

So it has been a lovely summer here in Scotland with temperatures hitting around 30C (86F). This is probably cool for some of you guys but it's like a desert here in our usually freezing rainy country. So recently I've been very garden inspired by spending a lot of my free time outdoors with the kids. So I got to doodling and out popped this little ladybug. Well we actually call them ladybirds over in the UK but i think ladybug sounds cutesy just like this little doll.

This little darling is working those spots!

You can buy the ladybug sewing pattern in my

Webshop & Etsy Shop (instant download)

I can't wait to see what you guys make from the pattern, she seems to be a hit and I'm so glad you all liked her. So if you make a little ladybug then please send on  photos or post them on our facebook page and I'll pop them on the gallery page.

I've missed being immersed in my world of design and sewing whilst back to the day job. At the moment I have two weeks holiday until I start my last placement of 2nd year. Although  I have a yucky  essay to complete I'm trying to sneak in completing my new designs in between. I have an awesome little design coming up next which I'm working away on and hope to have out hopefully by the end on July or start of August. As always I'll let you know when I have any updates on new releases or sneak previews because I know how you love those.

Cat Sewing Pattern

Hello all, I hope your all having a lovely start to your 2013.

I've dropped by to introduce the adorable Cat Sewing Pattern (or kitten is you wish). What a sweetheart, you've got to love an animal who has toes shaped like little baked beans!

Look at that swishy tail, makes you want to purr in delight. The cat measures 12" tall the perfect size for kiddy kisses, hugs and love. Cue the complementary baby squish to join the POP squad.

You can find the Kitten Cat Sewing Pattern in our

Webshop & Etsy Shop

I also wanted to ask if you gals (or guys) would be intrested if I had diffrent size options available for my patterns or if it's easy enough for you to resize  yourself? I would love to know your thoughts on this so feel free to leave a comment.
Happy Sewing

Sonny & Hugo Boy Doll Sewing Pattern

The fifth Dude Pop Pattern is here!
Today I'm introducing Sonny and his toy hippo Hugo, aren't they adorable. I've had this pattern ready for a few days now but the weather is getting gloomy here in Scotland, which is makes it a bit of a stickler for taking photos. So dear mother nature all I just need a little ray of sunshine for an hour, thank you.

His hair is a little longer than the other boys with a sort of sweeping fringe for that boyband type look!

Sonny is available from our the Elf Pop Website and Etsy Shop.

I've started working on creating the last Dude Pop Pattern, so keep checking back or like us on facebook or twitter for updates on pattern releases, because i'll be introducing some new pattern (which won't be dolls) in the next coming months.
Happy Sewing

Double Boy Doll Pattern Release!

The latest two dude pop doll sewing patterns have arrived, yipee! So first off i'm introduing Boyd and his pet toy Todd the Fox.

 
He loves spending time with his sister doll Saffy.

And next we have Robin and his pet toy Milo monkey, don't you love his little rocket print top?

Robin is the twin brother doll to our Ruby doll pattern. I was humming and ahhing about his name for a few days an d feeling generally uninspired. Then one day I was teaching the girls about robins (the birds) on the way to pick up papa elf from work. Once we arrived, I stopped the car and perched on the hill in front was a cheeky little robin searching for worms, and thus our latest dude pop was named after his stunning red chest.

 You can find the latest Dude Pop patterns available on our website and Etsy shop. 


Things are starting to get geared up here for the Christmas holidays however I'm continuing to work on the Dude pop doll range and will be releasing the last two patterns over the next coming weeks. If you want to keep up to date with when the patterns will be released then friend us on Facebook or twitter for news and future offers!
Have a lovely week all and happy sewing.

Hunter & Rex Boy Doll Sewing Pattern

Well as promised today is release day for the latest Elf Pop pattern. I haven't given much away about the pattern as I wanted to keep the range under wraps until today. So, I'm proudly introducing the first pattern from our latest range of boy doll which I'm calling the Dude Pops.
Hunter is the first in the series and he comes with his canine partner in crime, Rex.

 
My own little boy has taken quite a shine to this doll as not only do they both have red hair but he loves doggies too (actually I think my son thinks he is a dog!!!). I had to keep little Rex under lock and key to stop him being swiped before I took some snaps.

As with the girls this is the latest pattern range and I'll be releasing 6 boys in total. Unlike the Doll Pop range I have not finished all the patterns yet and will be working on them one by one and releasing as they are complete. So if you want to keep an eye out for any updates of when the next Dude Pop doll pattern will be released then why don't you join us on Facebook or add this blog to your friends feed by clicking the link on the right hand side ---->.


If you like Hunter and Rex they are now available from the website and Etsy shop.
Happy sewing poppets

Amber & Tilly Doll Sewing Pattern

Happy Friday!

Amber measures 12" tall and Tilly measures approx 4" tall.
You can purchase the pattern on the Elf Pop Website or Etsy Shop.

Tomorrow I'll be back to show off the last of the Doll Pop to complete the range. Have a lovely day.

Ruby & Mei Doll Sewing Pattern

Hello Poppets and welcome to day 4 of the Doll Pop pattern release.
Today I would like to introduce Ruby & Mei, two little cutie patooties.

I think this doll is a particular favourite of the middle ELF child as she particularity wanted to name her Ruby after her obsession with all things wizard of oz (ruby slippers) and her friend from nursery school. I made Ruby as a sweet little asian girl however you can customise her with your own favourite fabrics to make her a special doll for your little loved one.

Ruby measures 12" tall and Mei measures approx 4" tall .
You can purchase the pattern on the Elf Pop Website or Etsy Shop.

I hope you like, and i'll be back tommorrow with our fifth Doll Pop pattern.

Saffron & Belle Doll Sewing Pattern

Happy Wednesday all!

We're midweek already and it's time for another Doll Pop pattern release.
In the limelight today we have Saffron (or Saffy as I like to call her) and her beautiful bunny toy Belle, say hello Saffron.

You may notice by now that the dolls are all brightly coloured and named aptly after their favourite colour.  As with the other girls Saffy is super quick to sew up, and of all the dolls I would say is the best choice for babies and young children as their are no 'dangly' hair parts which are always the first to be pulled and gummed by little ones.

 
Saffron measures 12" tall and Belle measure approx 5" tall (including ears).
You can purchase the pattern on the Elf Pop Website or Etsy Shop.

Have a lovely day guys and dolls and i'll see you tommorow for doll number four.

Rosie & Lulu Doll Sewing Pattern

Welcome to day 2 of the Doll Pop pattern release week.

Yesterday I introduced the Olive pattern and today is her sweet friend all pretty in pink and her darling piggy.

Rosie and Lulu are super quick to sew up and look adorable. Our eldest ELF girl is in love with Lulu and aslways asks t play with her, i think its her affinty to the pinkness. I made Rose as a fair skinned blondie, but she would look super sweet customised to look like the little girls in your life who would love to give their own Rosie doll lots of kissys and huggles.

Rosie measure 12" tall and Lulu is approx 4" tall.
You can purchase the pattern on the Elf Pop Website or Etsy Shop.

I hope liked Rosie, I'm excited to show you another new Doll Pop friend tommorrow so check back to see another friend.
