Fantail Pattern Available Now

Good news!

The fantail pattern is back from the pattern testers and I have released it in my Craftsy Store.

I think I've said it before but my favourite part of sending patterns to testers is getting a first glimpse of how other people interpret my patterns. This time I was struck by the similarities between the fabrics that the three of us chose.

Leonie did a great job with this little fellow.

Raewyn commented that the hardest part of the project was choosing the right fabric. I must admit that I had a similar experience. I love the fabric that she chose for the face- just patterned enough without detracting from the piecing.

You might notice that the pattern changed around the neck area between when I made it and when the Leonie and Raewyn did. This is what I was talking about the other day when I mentioned simplifying patterns and making the details work the best way that I can. I'm really pleased with the improvements to the pattern! Not only do they look better, but it makes the pattern easier to piece!

If you would like a copy of my fantail, you can download it here. But don't wait too long, it will probably not remain a freebie forever...

Oh and a final reminder... don't forget to enter my Kea pattern giveaway.
