More about the Puffin Sewing Pattern with Templates

We are rating the puffin pattern as intermediate because of all the curves and multiple parts and pieces, but the pattern is easy to follow with step-by-step written instructions and more than 20 color photos. The tracing templates can be enlarged should you want a larger puffin, though we think the larger 9″ bird is the perfect size for hugging.

The puffin is sewn with a traditional 1/4″ seam allowance. There is a little bit of top stitching, as seen on the bill. That makes sewing the small fabrics much easier. And of course, there is the ladder stitch which creates and invisible seam where you turn the puffin right side out. We have a couple video links to these stitch techniques.

Denim and Fabric Basket Sewing Pattern Collection

August 15, 2023 by ·

Sew your own gorgeous basket with this fun and easy Denim Basket sewing pattern PDF.

It’s a beginner friendly sewing pattern with step-by-step instructions and photos. Traceable templates are included for a denim basket (or fabric basket) that measures 10″ wide x 6″ long x 6 1/2″ tall.

About The Denim Basket (Fabric Basket) Pattern

This denim basket sewing pattern is FULL of helpful information making it great for new and experienced sewists alike. Here’s what’s in the basket sewing pattern:

  • 1 basket pattern: 10″ wide x 6″ long x 6 1/2″ tall
  • 2 lining options: sewn in or sewn separate
  • 3 handle options
  • 6 fabric designs
  • Traceable templates
  • 40 pages
  • 70+ photos
  • Beginner Friendly
  • Step-by-Step instructions

You can build your own fabric design, or sew a basket with a solid piece of material.

denim basket and fabric basket options in this beginner friendly sewing pattern

What material do you need to make a denim basket?

You only need 1 pair of children’s jeans to make a denim basket. However, we used 5 pairs for the chevron because we wanted different shades of blues and black material. You can use any denim you have on hand to make the denim baskets. If you want a basket with a pocket on the front, we recommend children’s jeans as the small size pocket is a perfect fit. Don’t have denim, check out your local second hand store for a pair or two.

What material do you need to make a fabric basket?

If you want to sew a basket from fabric, you have even more options. You can buy new fabric or use material you have on hand such as clothing and bed linens. This is a great time to upcycle fabrics that are worn or neglected or have a stain or two (just cut around those bad spots). The second hand store is also a great resource because you can browse all the clothing departments (children, men’s women’s) as well as the linens. We recommend cotton fibers for new sewists.

How much material is needed to sew a denim basket?

The denim basket and fabric basket each require 3 layers of fabric.

  • Layer 1: The outside fabric (such as denim or cotton)
    (2) pieces at least 12″ x 17″
  • Layer 2: The inside lining fabric (such as muslin or cotton)
    (2) pieces at least 13″ x 17″
  • Layer 3: The stabilizer (ultra firm – fusible or non-fusible)
    (1) piece at least 20″ x 24″

You’ll also need thread to match your fabric.

1 Basket Pattern – 6 Fabric Designs

Even though there is only 1 size basket in this pattern, we show you how to create 6 unique fabric designs. So it’s really 6 patterns in 1!

Basket measures: 10″ wide x 6″ long x 6 1/2″ tall.

The 6 fabric designs included in the denim basket sewing pattern are as follows. Keep in mind that this is in addition to a solid fabric basket design:

  • Chevron
  • Quadrant
  • Pocket Front
  • Stripes
  • Wide Stripe
  • Scrappy
Denim Basket with pocket used as baby diaper basket

Uses for Denim Basket (Fabric Basket)

This 10″ x 6″ basket size is really quite convenient. It will help you get organized and help your house feel neat and tidy. We’ve used these baskets as:

  • Baby Diaper Basket
  • Baby Shower Gift
  • Paperless Towel Basket
  • Book Storage
  • Bathroom Storage
  • Christmas Basket
  • Laundry Room Storage Basket
  • College Dorm Room Storage Basket

Shells and Lace Crochet Baby Blanket Set

August 12, 2023 by ·

The Shells and Lace crochet baby blanket pattern set is surprisingly quick to stitch, and it comes with 3 accessories making it a great baby shower gift. This pattern set includes a baby blanket, sweater, hat and booties for newborns.

The baby blanket measures 27″ wide x 36″ tall.

The Shells and Lace pattern looks great in so many colors. We’ve stitched one in pink and one in blue. They are so sweet! The main stitch of the baby blanket is corner-to-corner with a twist. The edging is stitched in 5 rounds and it adds a gorgeous finish to the solid center panel.

Corner to Corner – C2C In Rows!

Did I mention this is a fun pattern to crochet? Sooo much fun.

The main pattern of the baby blanket is like corner-to-corner but better! This is worked in rows without any decreases or increases. In fact, it has a one row repeat. It’s made in a rectangle rather than from corner to corner. No more worrying about when to make a corner. This C2C stitch is worked back and forth until you have the length needed.

The blanket is a great project to work on while watching tv or at a ball game, because you just need to glance down every so often to work a cluster.

Shells and Lace includes a Newborn Baby Sweater

Yep, you read that right. The Shells and Lace crochet pattern includes a newborn baby sweater. It coordinates with the baby blanket with a bit of corner-to-corner stitching.

The collar has a bit of the crochet shell pattern found on the edging of the baby blanket, too.

Shells and Lace includes Baby Booties

Oh yeah. The fun continues with adorable newborn baby booties. The main body of the baby booties is single crochet, but the cuffs are similar to the shells edging the Shells and Lace Baby Blanket Pattern.

We’ve attached cute pink buttons, but we’ve also seen these dressed up with little daisy buttons, too. We recommend that you crochet the booties then take them to the store to select a pair of sweet and whimsical buttons.

Shells and Lace includes Newborn Hat

The set wouldn’t be complete without a baby hat! This newborn beanie is stitched in half double crochet and edged with corner-to-corner stitch. Yep, corner-to-corner makes a great edging! Who knew?

About the Shells and Lace Crochet Pattern

The pattern was written as part of the Twins Face Off in 2015 where Deborah and Dana each made a baby set and asked people to vote for their favorite. The pattern has not been modified.

The pattern is not written as a beginner pattern. There’s nothing complicated, but the pattern is a bit abbreviated which a beginner may find confusing. We assume one stitch will be worked in each stitch and only specify if multiple stitches are worked in the same space or stitch. For example:

  • “8 hdc, 3 hdc in next st”
  • This means to hdc in each of the next 8 sts, then 3 hdc in the next st.

This abbreviated version of pattern writing allows you to read each line more quickly and condenses the pattern.

Not only that, this bear pillow is festive, too. One can be made for various holidays by changing out the fabric on the scarf. These are great for new baby, nursery and baby shower gifts, Christmas, Halloween, and going away to college gifts. They also make great gifts for boys and gifts for girls, memory bears, gifts for bear enthusiasts and bears for those who love to cuddle.

They can also be a heartfelt and thoughtful gift for someone that has lost a loved one. Sew the bear with a shirt that belonged to their special person and they can hug it in times of sorrow.
