This has been a real adventure here at Fabric Follies. Never in my 50+ years did I ever dream that a little fun on a daily basis would bring over 1000 hits a day and some lovely email friends! This year began early on with surgery and later on with placement of a heart […]
In my wandering through the world of crafts yesterday morning, I came across this cute little bird on Cameoroze.com with a link leading back to a German site that showed the instructions for making it. Well… before breakfast I had cut a bit of felt and was handsewing in front of my pc… DH […]
I have to admit that my mouth dropped open when I first saw this site. DROPS Design is a Scandinavian knitting magazine and what lovely patterns they have… There are several crochet designs.. like these really unusual baby shoes that I adore… and this lacy cardigan… but most of the patterns are knitted. There are […]
I have had several emails regarding a cute doll that can be made and given as gifts. This Dolly Hugs pattern is a wonderful little doll that I have made. It is also quick and easy and good to give to hospitals, orphanages, or anyone that needs baby dolls to hug and love, so if […]

Free Craft Patterns is a site that is loaded with many free patterns. The patterns are all listed by categories.. (crochet, knitting, sewing, cross stitch)… that are then divided into categories of their own… love that! Grab a cup and sit back and browse!
Edie has a link from her blog Sporadic Packrat to Whip Up with both blogs discussing leaving comments and the etiquette of answering comments… sigh… Makes me want to jump out there and spend about 8 hours going to all the blogs I love (and read most mornings!) and type my fingers to nubs… but then they […]
Kathy Briggs has a really good FPC tutorial on the Dollmaker’s Journey site. She uses classic oriental pieces and the results are outstanding. Have a look… There is also a new dollmaking challenge called the Annie La Bouche Challenge. The pattern is provided free (and can be downloaded and used even if not entering the challenge) And what a […]
Baby Bear is finished. Things I learned: (1) I do like the homespun look of the yellow check, but the fabric is quite thin and while the thread and ribbon do not show through like I thought they would, it does make it a bit difficult to sew. (2) Making a blank bear to […]
