Eine tolle erste Näherfahrung! Super detaillierte Anleitung, sehr hilfreiche Bilder und als ich noch eine Frage hatte, habe ich ganz schnell eine Antwort bekommen- toll! Und dazu noch so ein liebevolles Design. Eine große Empfehlung, ich bin ganz begeistert! :)
Me and my granddaughter , we are happy with the outcome of our attempt with the aligator. Thank you for this clear and easy pattern.
I was curious to try some of their patterns, and picked this and the pigeon pattern up. It was incredibly easy to follow and gives plenty of opportunities for customization which I appreciate! Looking forward to trying other patterns when I lose my sewtivation again!
Cute and quick project. Great instruction with lots of photos.
I need to practice my eyes.
Thank you for creating these.
Cute pattern. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. I was able to use my scan 'n' cut to cut precise pieces, which helps a lot with small pieces.
The designs are absolutely gorgeous and will continue to buy from this store!
Super pattern with detailed instructions. Looking forward to making them.
