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.

Sky & Tad Boy Doll Sewing Pattern

Hello Poppets, Time for a new pattern release. Today i'm introducing the cheek little Sky and his little froggy friend Tad as the latest addition to the Dude Pops.

I took inspiration for his name from Sky Masterton in Guys and Dolls (quite apt for a  boy doll range don't ya think?) and Tad is short for tadpole. Don't they make a great pair. Remember if you are a cottage business you can sell doll finished dolls Elf Pop Patterns, so sew them up and pass around.

This is Sky with his sister doll Rosie, how adorable - well until they start to quarrel! Sky is available from our the Elf Pop Website and Etsy Shop.

I'll be working like a trojan this week to try and have a double pattern release next time, so join me on facebook or twitter for any updates on when patterns are due to be released.

In non sewing news, tonight is bonfire night (or Guy Fawkes night) here in the U.K where we watch lots of fireworks and huge bonfire. Our city has two official displays so I'll be taking the two eldest ELFs to see one tonight and hope not to freeze to death in the bitter Scottish night (yes we've had snow already!!!) then toddle home and cosy up with a nice cup of hot milk or hot chocolate, yum yum.

Have a great week everyone and lots of 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

Violet & Bo Doll Sewing Pattern

Well today is the last day of  the new Doll Pop pattern release week. Last but not least we finally have the lovely Violet and her fluffy little lamb Bo.

My apologies for the lateness releasing this pattern I was at a family BBQ today and forgot to schedule my blog post, better late than never though eh? I had a lot of fun making this little sweetheart ,and as with the other girls she is super quick to sew up and makes such a super cute dolly.

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

Oh now I'm a little sad that the pattern release week is over, however don't fret as I'm working away on another range to be released in the near future. In the meantime I'll keep you guys updated with any progress and perhaps a sneak peek if your good boys and girls!

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.

Olive & Pea Doll Sewing Pattern

Good Morning all!
I'm rather excited today as it's the first day of the Elf Pop pattern relase week, Yippee! I have been working away on a brand spanking new range of patterns and after much sketching, sewing photographing, designing, and double checking all of the above I have FINALLY finished the range and i'm so excited to show you guys. So without further ado I introduce you to:

Olive is the first doll from my new Doll Pop range, and she comes with her very own little raggy pet, a stinky little cat named Sweetpea (but she likes to be called Pea ). Olive and Pea are super quick to sew up for experienced stitchers and a fun project for beginners looking to advance their skills.

Olive measures 12" tall and  is the perfect little companion for kiddly winks.
You can purchase the Olive and Pea pattern from the Elf Pop website or our Etsy shop.

I will be releasing the second Doll Pop girl tomorrow so keep you eyes peeled for a little friend to join Olive.
