More about the Monsters Pin Loom Pattern PDF

As we mentioned, the monsters are made with only one loom: a 4″ pin loom square. We used medium worsted weight yarn, specifically: Red Heart Soft and eyelash yarn. The textured squares use two colors on each square. The furry head also uses two different kinds of yarn. The ears, arms and legs are woven in plain weave with one color yarn.

The pattern is surprisingly easy to make. We include step-by-step photos for several steps…like the ears and how we warped the loom for the special squares. And of course, each step is written out from start to finish.

There is a tiny bit of crochet. But you can make the eyes and teeth with felt if you prefer.

More About The Frankenstein’s Monster Clutch

We call it Frankenstein’s Monster because of the scar on the forehead and bolt on the zipper pull. But we’ve also had people call it the Incredible Hulk or a Zombie. We can go with that, too.

  • Written Instructions
  • 10 Pages
  • 10 Photos

The bag is made with 2 eyeball granny squares on the front panel and 2 plain granny squares on the back. A gusset is crocheted separately and joined to the front and back panels. The hair is crocheted at the end with regular crochet and spike stitches. Stabilizer, zipper, lining and optional handle give it a nice crisp look and make it super practical.

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.

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

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.

The bright orange braided beard is also a can’t-miss detail that makes this tough little Viking so adorable. The axe and shield complete the iconic image of a Viking.

More About the Viking Gnome Pin Loom Pattern

This Viking Gnome Pattern, like our other gnome patterns, begins with a helpful chart listing the total number of pin loom shapes you’ll need for the project. This allows you to sit and weave all the squares and rectangles before you begin. Of course, you can weave them as you need them, or weave them all prior to beginning assembly.

There are two very small sections of crochet in this project. Single crochet (US terms) is used in both areas. The grey at the ends of the horns are crocheted, this is where the horn meets the helmet. The edge of the shield is also crocheted. This joins two pieces together and creates and “ironwork” edge.

In the photo above, the hammerhead shark is sitting on a diorama of coral. The entire coral reef is made from pin loom woven shapes. Unfortunately, there is no pattern at this time. There is a Starfish Pin Loom Pattern in our Etsy shop if you are looking for other sea creatures.

What You’ll Need to Weave a Hammerhead Shark

The materials list is surprisingly small for this hammerhead shark stuffed animal. In fact, it uses only 73 yards of yarn total! Here’s the complete list.

  • Pin Looms:   Squares: 1”, 2”, and 4”; (1” square loom is optional)
  •          Rectangles: 2” x 4” and 2” x 6”,
  •          Triangle: 2”
  • Yarn:   Lion Brand: Basic Stitch – Medium Worsted Weight (4)
  •             ECRU #098C – 25 yds
  •             SILVER HEATHER #404J – 45 yds
  •             CHARCOAL HEATHER #403J – 3 yds
  • Needle:  6” needle for weaving and
  •                yarn needle for sewing
  • Safety eyes (2) 8 mm
  • Stuffing

This hammerhead shark measures approximately 10″ long x 5 1/2″ wide x 3″ tall.

As you can see in the picture above, we’ve woven one hammerhead shark with all the fins a real hammerhead shark has. The other has fewer fins. But we think you’ll agree, both versions are super cute.
