Introducing One Thimble Issue 12 and two Molly and Mama patterns

August 14, 2016 By Lauren at Molly and Mama Leave a Comment

On Friday, my favourite digital sewing magazine was released – Issue 12 of One Thimble*! If you’ve been around for a while, you’ll know that I’m a big fan! I love contributing patterns to this wonderful publication. I was lucky enough to be asked to design two separate projects for the current issue. And so it’s my pleasure to introduce you to the Darling Daisy Bag, and the Flutterby Kite.

Darling Daisy Bag by Molly and Mama

The Darling Daisy Bag is a small simple girl’s bag with a Molly and Mama style felt flower face applique on the front. The bag design is a super simple sew and easy for beginners. The felt flower face is also straightforward, but perhaps a little easier to create if you’ve sewn with felt before.

Flutterby Kite B by Molly and Mama Flutterby Kite A by Molly and Mama

The Flutterby Kite comes with two different options for the front; a traditional front with four quarters, and a strip-work patchwork front with embroidery detail. This pattern was written as a beginner’s introduction to the process of patchwork and quilting, so even if you haven’t tried something like this before, there’s lots of photos, step-by-step instructions and tips. You’ll love it! And although I’m not quite sure it would actually fly, it will make a beautiful addition to a child’s bedroom decor.

Both designs are part of a wonderful collection of 10 PDF patterns found in One Thimble 12. You can see all the lovely designs below. From party dresses to rompers, skirts to bow ties, bags to crop tops, this Watercolour themed issue has something for everyone.

What’s In One Thimble?

  • 10 PDF patterns including a bag, wall kite, bow ties, party dress, romper, girls and ladies skirt, boys shirt, crop top and knit dress
  • an interview
  • regular articles like the Gift Guide, Trending Fabrics, Upcoming Events and Letters to the Editor
  • 9 technique articles and tutorials including Tips for Sewing with Leather, Special occasion Fabrics, and Knit Fabric
  • 5 handmade business articles. The Flatlay Love one is great!
  • more special features!

Head over to One Thimble today and have a look around.  At $25 AUD it’s GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY! But what I love most about One Thimble is that it’s made by a home sewist and pattern designer that loves supporting and inspiring other designers, makers, business owners, and crafters. Jen the editor creates the magazine from her own home studio, and brings you the best of indie designers from Australia and around the world. How cool is that?

And if you’re just interested in one or two patterns, you can still buy the PDF’s as stand-alone, individual patterns on the One Thimble website.

Stay tuned this week as I share more about my new patterns and how they’re inspiring sewists from around the world! I can’t wait to show you!

Happy stitching, Lauren x

💗 Have you started the year with some English p 💗 Have you started the year with some English paper piecing? The weekly #sipteaandepp party is continuing with the lovely Larisa from @stitchingnotes and this year I’m making way for the very talented Irina from @nordiccrafter to become the new co-host. Please go and visit the profiles of these clever creatives to learn all about what 2021 holds for #sipteaandepp. The girls have some exciting plans in place and I know you’re going to love it!

This week’s theme is all about Introductions, where you’re encouraged to share a few random facts about yourself. So here’s a little about me. 

🤍 Before starting this wonderful journey into sewing, I was a primary school teacher

🤍My first degree was a bachelor of Behavioural Science / Psychology

🤍 I’ve been crafty for as long as I remember but I also love art, illustration, gardening and baking

🤍 I’m not a traditional tea drinker (which was a little strange as the co-host of #sipteaandepp 😂 

🤍 I’m inspired mostly by colour and nature. I’m drawn to anything muted, delicate, pastel, pretty, dainty and floral. Yet nothing in my home or wardrobe would give you that impression! 

With so many new followers joining me in the new year, I’d love to know more about you. And if you have any questions for me, feel free to ask! Lauren 💗
🌸💚 I’ve had lots of requests for informati 🌸💚 I’ve had lots of requests for information about pattern releases and more. The best way to stay in the loop is to sign up for the fortnightly newsletter. That way you’ll also get the new release discount code. And you’ll even get this embroidery design as a FREE PATTERN! 

It’s just a friendly space where I share previews of my current projects, a tutorial or pattern, and some of your makes for added inspiration. I’d be thrilled to have you join me. I’m also working on the next free pattern, which gives you a taste for what my projects are all about - beginner techniques with beautiful finishes, so everyone can experience sewing success!

Honey bees are so amazing! I really wish I wasn’ Honey bees are so amazing! I really wish I wasn’t allergic. So while we gave my father in law a hive, we keep native Australian stingless bee hives instead. And they are the friendliest little creatures. I love finding sewing inspiration from our garden 🐝💐
