From the aptly named wee wonderfuls pattern collection, it's my pleasure to introduce to you Monsieur and Madame Gnome - an absolute delight to sew, and an even greater delight to look at.
Holiday decorations? I think I'll have a hard time packing these away come January. Plus, if M. & M. Gnome stick around, Amelie and Timoun will have others on which to blame their daily mischief.
"Amelie, why are all of the pistachios on the floor, and why are some of them half-eaten?"
Amelie responds, "Oh - that. It was Monsieur Gnome. It must have been yet another of his gravity experiments. And, well, you know how it goes ... once something is on the floor, it should be tasted."
Uh huh.
By the way, thanks to all of you who left comments telling me of your love for the Emmeline Apron! For those of you who expressed interest in testing the pattern - stay tuned. Once I have the pattern ready, I will be putting out another call, and will be outlining the requirements and my time frame (it needs to be a somewhat quick turn around, as I want to have these ready to send to the printer before Christmas.) I will only need 3 testers for each pattern - the apron and the messenger bag. You all are awesome - thanks for your enthusiastic response!

Meg

so adorable.....the gnomes and your kitties! Love these little cloth people you made! I would have a hard time putting them away, too! SO CUTE, Meg!!!! I want to give them a try, too.......take care, Laurie~
ReplyDeleteI am waiting anxiously for the messenger bag pattern. I would love to test it for you before Christmas. I want to make it to use as my carry-on for my bus trip. I already bought a pair of wool pants from Goodwill.

The gnomes are simply adorable! I am anxious for the messanger bag pattern to become available!
ReplyDeleteThe gnomes ARE adorable. But those cats? They look as if they are up to something!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to test the Emmaline pattern before Christmas- I will be the cutest cook in the kitchen!! My Emma (dachsund) said she'll help too!!
Mr. and Mrs. Gnome are so cute!
ReplyDeleteOh, if you need someone totally new to sewing, who has no clue what she's doing... I could be that tester! I mean, it's important to see how unexperienced sewers would find the pattern, right? (grin)

You did a great job on those, they're awesome!
ReplyDeleteAww, your gnomes are cute!
ReplyDeleteOh to be a tester :) Your aprons are too cute.
The gnomes are adorable but the kitties are even cuter! :) I could test the apron pattern before Christmas with no problem. If you choose me, let me know how much fabric I would need asap. Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteYou have a great eye for colour Meg - love that turquoise!
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of these waiting to be finished for presents but i want my own pair too :o) Can't decide what fabric to use on the back though...
I love your gnomes!

ReplyDeleteOh your kitties are so cute!!
ReplyDeleteThe gnomes came out great. I almost ordered them but the thought of one more project! I want to make your messenger bag first:-)
ReplyDeleteYou did such a wonderful job on the gnomes... Hilary will love them! I am sooo excited about your apron pattern too...and the messenger bag. You rock Meg!
ReplyDeleteJust thought I'd mention my TOTAL FREAK OUT when I saw the awesome versions of the gnome bag and emmaline apron the testers came up with. I cannot WAIT to get them both--please, please say early Jan. so I can make that bag for a Jan. 30th bday present!!!!! :) And how great is that apron going to be for Valentine's Day? Wow.
