Today is the day......the Stitchers Angel project is launched and this is what you (and I) have been waiting for.
This is my Sweet & Spotty Needle Wallet, especially for you x
So how do you get the pattern? Well, here it is Download Sweet & Spotty Needle Wallet low res
Are you wondering how do you start? well, just choose a few of your favorite fabrics and grab your favorite colored thread (blue, green, pink or 816DMC red....) and stitch to your hearts content.
Inside and out
I have just added a new link to the right of the screen (under "Free Downloads") so you will be able to print the pattern from here also in months to come. Most of all I want you to enjoy it, have fun and tell me if you get addicted to making these simple needle wallets.
The Sweet & Spotty Needle Wallet features needle turn applique, hand stitching and a little machine sewing. If needle turn applique makes you break out in a sweat please don't worry, just use blanket stitch applique...trust me - it will still look Sweet & Spotty, gorgeous in fact.
Now as a Designer for the Stitches Angel project I was asked to create something with a rose theme so here is the inspiration behind the 'sweet' part of my design. It all came down to Shakespere and a line in Romeo & Juliet x
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet
From Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, 1594
If you are wondering what fabric range I have use - the spots and green fabric for the lining and cover are from the range called Swell by Urban Chicks for Moda. The pink & cream stitching fabric is from Simplicity by 3 Sisters for Moda
I hope you love stitching your new creation for your secret Stitchers Angels and for more Angel inspiration of the coming weeks please pop back each week and visit Helen for the next gorgeous creation.
Till then,
Natalie x
such a lovely pattern
your stitches show how much practice you have
thankyou it is very sweet

Thank you ladies that is all I needed to hear, but then at the birthday party, Lisa (the birthday boy's mom), who is also a genius, had R2-D2 on top of the cupcakes... She cut it out of FONDENT! WOW!!!

Wallets are used to store and protect our credit cards, identification cards and carry money. Wallets have been around for long now. I like above wallet pattern.

Hi Burton, I am a little confused - if you check the pattern instructions step 8 explains how to use needle turn applique to stitch the front embroidered circle...is this what you are referring to? - Natalie
Posted by: Natalie Lymer | September 02, 2009 at 08:07 AM
Thanks for the great patterns -- they are lovely!!
Posted by: Marci G | September 02, 2009 at 06:13 AM
I do like the wallet alot, but there is a piece missing from the directions. It doesn't at any time say to stitch down the embroidered circle on the front of the wallet. I mean I get it. But the pattern s incomplete.
Posted by: Burton | September 02, 2009 at 02:58 AM
This is lovely, thank you so much! I love redwork!
