Super Sale & Exciting Announcement

For a limited time, pick any two patterns and get a free pattern of your choice!

Just mention my blog and tell me in notes to seller which pattern you want for your third.

And some special news for those of you who love sewing

and would enjoy making a little extra moolah,

think about the option of becoming a Licensed Retailer of Kirstikoo Patterns. This means, I will do all the work of creating great patterns-you make the items and sell them on etsy, ebay or at any craft boutique.

Check out this post about my tips about running an etsy business.

When you purchase the Cottage Agreement ($15- which you can easily make back in one sale) you will receive a sheet of images to create tags to promote your items and display them in a professional way:

I love to roll up the handmade goods and tie off with a strip of colorful tulle and bold label. Are you ready to join the team? Go HERE for details!

NEW! Bibaroo Hand Towel Bib Pattern

These Hand Towel Bibs are perfect for messy situations! Why is it that the second you put the little ones in nice clothes, they decide they want to eat chocolate pudding (all by themselves) or spaghetti with meatballs (with their hands)? These are great to keep in your diaper bag when you eat out, and have a few in the cupboards for daily feeding. Also, my boys got so good at removing their velcro'ed bibs that I just stopped trying- I don't know what I'd do without these bibs! Hand Towel Bibs are created with stretchy knit material, so they pull over the heads easily, and cover their entire top half! Remove the messy bib, throw in the wash with your other towels and avoid having to change yet another outfit!

Professionally designed and created, this PDF pattern is easy to follow and great for even beginning sewers. Available now in my etsy store!

Tons of cute hand towels I've found at Big Lots for $5.00 per pack of 2 or 3. These would be super cute with a white or colored neck band!!

Over 100 Followers: Diaper Pouch Revealed!

The results are in and the Diaper Clutch won! I've decided to show the pouch version because it would be easy enough for beginning sewers and could be whipped up in only an hour. The clutch is a wonderful pattern, but more sewing experience is needed on that one. {Available for $5 in my store for a limited time!} Also, the pouch pattern has not been purchased yet, and I think it would be unfair to reveal a pattern that someone has already paid for. When I was creating items to sell on etsy, this is by far my most popular sold item. So, without further ado, here it is, download available for the next week:

DOWNLOAD NOW CLOSED-

Don't forget I have a special in my etsy store for $5 patterns until December 31, 2010!

The reason I do this {plus pick your favorite pattern!}

Just had to show off my darling little nephew/ latest inspiration:

It's for babies like Caleb that I enjoy doing this so much! I get to see him for Thanksgiving and counting down...in fact, probably making this Turkey Countdown next week to help with the anticipation and excitement.

I had to make a few goodies to celebrate his arrival. This roll up changing pad and car seat canopy.

Pattern on the Car Seat Canopy probably coming soon... any requests?

I love the fabric and the stitching details my new machine can do.

To celebrate over 100 followers, I will be publishing a pattern for a week! Thanks to all my supportive readers- I love your comments-- Let me know which pattern you'd like to see!

All Patterns now available in my shop, just in time for you to make some nice handmade Christmas gifts! Which one would you like to see?

Exciting News: PDF Patterns Available NOW!

Alright, I did it! I hired someone {wonderful} to turn my ideas into professional patterns!

My patterns include step by step instructions with pictures and drawings, and even tips on getting the most out of your yard of fabric. Because I have loved having an etsy shop, you are welcome to use the patterns to create items to sell, but cannot share or sell any portion of the pattern itself.

Starting today, I have the Diaperdoo Pouch and Changeroo Changing Pad completed and available in my etsy store now!

More patterns coming soon as I dig through storage and find all my measurements and notes!

ALSO: Check back tomorrow for the first day of 13 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN! SO excited- we'll have guest artists and a variety of fun DIY activities, projects and giveaways to get ready for Halloween!
