Is it a bowl? Is it a pouch? It can be both!
Ask anyone who sews or knits, there are always small, but vital tools of the trade that go missing under the couch, beneath the cushions, or they simply roll away, never to be seen again. This project aims to tidy and corral those little essentials in two ways, at home or on the go, it all depends on the finishing. Is it a bowl? Is it a pouch? It can be both!

All Swedish weaving patterns that were designed for the traditional Monk’s Cloth can be woven on the finer 22ct Hardanger fabric using the same thread measurements and techniques.

Eadie Mae
Most designs begin with basic shapes. Eadie Mae began with the same basic body shape that Sherry used in the Spring 2011 issue, but Lucy adapted the doll’s construction to suit her style and to suit the machine embroidery techniques used in this pattern.

Little Bonnet
Turning a handkerchief into a baby bonnet is a simple and sweet way to create a memorable baby gift. The intent of the handkerchief bonnet is that it will be worn as a bonnet for the baby’s homecoming or Christening, then put away. When the baby has grown up and is getting married, the stitches will be snipped out of the bonnet and the bride will carry it at her wedding as part of the ‘something old’ tradition. It can then be stitched into a bonnet again for the couple’s child.

Oops-a-Daisy Christmas Tree Ornament Elves
Have you ever had a cat climb your Christmas tree? You know what chaos can result. Imagine if the ornaments come alive when this happens and they all scramble to save themselves as the tree is being shaken. That is the image that comes to mind with the whimsical elves designed by doll maker Colleen Babcock. Their look of surprise as they appear to grab for branches makes one think the cat has just reached the star at the top of the tree.
