I designed my first sewing pattern! It’s a simple pattern to make your own Geek Chic Panda – a soft toy I designed and sell in my Etsy store. As well as selling the pandas (handmade by me) I’m now selling make it yourself sewing kits. The kits contain the supplies you need to create your own Geek Chic Panda:
- Instructions & sewing pattern;
- All the required fabric (cotton), including a piece of fabric with a screen printed panda face;
- Toy stuffing (100% polyester);
- A woven English Girl at Home tag.
I’ve been planning to make sewing kits for some time, having been asked by a few customers at craft fairs last year. The kits make it nice and easy for sewing beginners to make a toy due to their simple design and the inclusion of supplies, and they’re a super quick make for anyone with sewing experience.
The Geek Chic Panda kits come in two designs – with Glasses, or with a Bow Tie. Want to see what the finished pandas look like? Here they are:)
So, how do you win one? I’m giving away one Geek Chic Panda sewing kit. To enter the giveaway leave a comment below.
The giveaway will be open until 22:00 (UK time) on Monday 14th April and is open internationally. I will pick a winner at random.
For more information about the kits, visit my Etsy shop.
