I design sewing patterns for softies! My patterns are unique because they show the home sewist how to create a sophisticated, truly 3-dimensional softie from simple pattern pieces.
I sell more of my patterns as instant downloads on Craftsy. You'll find patterns for a plush rubber duck, an octopus, a shark, and a catepillar that transforms into a butterfly! Check it out here: http://www.craftsy.com/user/pattern/store/330178
My first book of softie designs, entitled The Artful Bird, was published by Interweave in January of 2011. My second book will be out with Lark Crafts in the Spring 2013. It will be all about how to design sewing patterns for your own, original soft toys! I am also a licensed designer for Simplicity.
I do custom work! Do you have a particular animal in mind? Your corporate logo? Need a particular toy for a photo shoot? Contact me and I'll work with you to design something you'll love.
