I made two different patterns (for the different materials)- but honestly, each time I make something I change things up a bit. Just making a center seam (on a head or center piece for the body) changes the pattern in new ways. That keeps things interesting for me! I'm always open to having things turn out a little different-<br /><br />I do sew these pieces on my machine (a basic viking) with the standard foot- but I use very small seam allowances( like 1/4") which make those smaller limbs possible. I don't often rip out seams but I do have to go back and make larger seam allowances when they get a little too close to the edge- I eyeball it all... but a Science?! ha! never.<br />JMjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11285403858872713269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943169481719963513.post-15726852989098705722011-06-15T11:12:15.953-05:002011-06-15T11:12:15.953-05:00I LOVE these!

My dog pincushion is similar to the ...Hi Jennifer,<br /><br />My dog pincushion is similar to the one above. My dog has a seem down his chest, and the one above does not. Does mine represent the same pattern that you refined for production?<br /><br />Also, how does your sewing machine needle get into these tight little curves/corners and make turns - like the paws? Do you have special feet for your sewing machine? Do you have to rip out seems often, or have you gotten these patterns down to a science?<br /><br />I really enjoy seeing more of your production process for your creations - it's a very special process - thanks for sharing more "behind the scenes."<br /><br />Lisa<br />Del Mar, CAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943169481719963513.post-62216595521815507852011-06-15T04:20:08.796-05:002011-06-15T04:20:08.796-05:00They are beautiful!They are beautiful!doyouwantapotatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15004159072394453751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943169481719963513.post-45837897224826042492011-06-14T23:05:10.621-05:002011-06-14T23:05:10.621-05:00Oh, Jennifer, they're all so adorable.
