*This listing is for the crochet PATTERN for Roger Rat- no physical item will be shipped to you.* This fella may be small but he's sure to steal your heart <3 He's no-sew! The ears are crocheted along-the-way, although I recommend tacking the ears down with the extra end. The legs are also crocheted along-the-way. The tail is crocheted onto the body after the body is finished. There are so many different sizes you could make with this pattern depending on the yarn weight you use. They're the perfect size for keychains, I used Premier Parfait Chunky yarn and a 4.5mm hook. There is a linked Youtube tutorial in the pattern on how to attach a keychain. This pattern is suitable for intermediate crocheters. It includes step-by-step pictorials to help you understand the tricky parts. It is in US crochet terms in English. The digital pdf file includes 5 pages, there is also a 3-page printer-friendly pdf file included without colored backgrounds or pictures. There is the option for a bundle deal! These guys and can be bundled with the rest of the Pet Pals for $1.50/pattern here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1443366896/peewee-pet-pals-pattern-collection OR with the entire PeeWee Pals collection for $1/pattern here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1443362408/peewee-pals-pattern-collection-crochet 2023 Knot Jaded Co- Jadrian Trejo This pattern cannot be copied, shared or sold in any way.

Now that the "Fun" stuff - like the Give away - is over, it's on to the un-fun stuff. Sewing a Muslin! I always hate this step, because I get to anxious to get down to the nitty-gritty and see my envisioned garment come to life. But, with the one-piece version it is especially important. I've sewn several bathing suits from commercial patterns, and I've always would up adjusting length. I am a petite lady, just 5'2" - sometimes torsos are too short, sometimes too long... First, print your PDF Pattern - make sure that you have selected "none" for page scaling. Cut along the dotted lines of the margins and tape your pieces together. Use the Alpha Numeric markings as a guide so your pages don't get mixed up. For me, this is a large pattern - 12 pages, and some pattern pieces look similar, so it's easy to get mixed up. And, if all goes as planned, you should wind up with a pattern that looks like this. You can cut out these pieces and use them as your pattern, or trace them onto tissue paper. I have already added 1/2" SA to all seams, and 3/8" SA to the leg and neck openings. I am going to keep the muslin sewing breif. Your "muslin" will be made out of a fabric similar to your actual garment fabric. I use an inexpensive jersey to sew my test garments - it's stretchy, like my spandex so I know my finished garment will fit. There is no need to line your muslin. Just follow the "Self" cut guidelines on the pattern. Assemble your Cups first - sew side front to center front, attach to cups. Sew side back to center back. Stitch Side Seams. Stitch Crotch seam. The pictures below show the 2 piece version of the pattern, but the general construction will be basically the same. From there, try it on, pinch and pin anywhere that needs to be pulled in. Slash anywhere that needs to be let out. Transfer your changes to your pattern, or take apart your muslin and use that as your pattern. Some common fit issues: 1. Bust too big. If the bust cups are too big, decrease the curve of the cup seams. You can also decrease the height of the cups, but rememember you will have to decrease the height of the side back and center back seams as well. 2. Bust not Big Enough. If the Cups are Not big enough, you can increase the curve of the cup seams. Gertie has some great tips and links on Bust-Fit Issues Here. 3. Garment is too short. Slash each piece at the waist and extend. 4. Too Tight around the legs. Add extra to your side seams, and/or crotch seam length. 5. Not Tight Enough! Take in your side Seams, adjust the side back seams. 6. Too Long! Cut your patter at the waist, and overlap, reducing the overall length of your pattern.

A Bonjour Quilts sewing tutorial for a diamond quilt block - make your own scrappy diamond quilt with this quilt block pattern tutorial.
Learn to make a different kind of side seam pocket.
Today let's sew together the Strips and Squares quilt block that Nancy Page first published. I think the pattern has been around a lot longer though due to the number of names it goes by - Hand Weave, Handcraft, Handwoven, Interwoven, Over and Under, to name a few. I can see why it's popular - it's easy and produces a nice interwoven design when blocks are sewn together.
Hi everyone – Stephanie here! I really love star blocks – they are so versatile and fun to make! And the Liberty Garden fabric line … how can you go wrong with shades of blue and green? Getting Started: When I first looked at the pattern and the fabrics, I decided to go totally traditional – it appeased my “matchy matchy” sensibilities. I am making all of the blocks using the same 4 fabrics, and all 4 of each block exactly the same. I hope you enjoy my “traditional” interpretation of “Everyone’s A Star”. Cutting (to make 4 blocks): (4) 4-1/2” squares of Focal fabric (Liberty Garden blue) (16) 4-1/2” squares of Small floral (Libby Jade) (4) 5-1/4” squares of Light Geometric (Liberty Geo Turquoise) (8) 5” squares of Dark floral (Garden Gates Jade) (4) 5-1/4” squares of Medium tonal (Libby’s Lace Green) Ok – you ready? Step one … because we are going to be cutting and sewing on the bias, I like to lightly starch and press my squares (the Light, Medium and Dark listed above). This helps to reduce stretch along the bias side when sewing. Got that done? Great … time to cut and sew! Take your 5-1/4” squares (light and medium) and cut them twice on the diagonal – giving you 4 quarter square triangles (QST). Take your 5” squares (dark) and cut them once on the diagonal – giving you 2 half square triangles (HST). Sew (1) light QST and (1) medium QST together and press. Next up – sew (1) dark HST to light/medium QSTs (the way I do this is to gently fold the dark HST in half, find the middle and place a pin there. Open up HST and line up seam from light/medium piece. Pin together and sew). Press, then use a ruler to square up block to 4-1/2” (I like to use a 4-1/2” square ruler that has the center marked with a circle and a 45-degree angle line – makes it super easy to line up and trim!) Make (4) for each block – so (16) total! Bonus block – if you sew 4 of them together as shown – you get a great 8” finish pinwheel block … but don’t do that with these, you need them for the next step! Layout your focal square, your small floral squares and your pieced squares as shown, sew into rows, then sew rows together to complete Block 2! Square them up to 12-1/2” and make 4. Here's Debby's Star Block #2, made using Moon Flower. Head over to her blog to learn more about it. Here's Lisa's Star Block #2, made from Zentastic. Head over to her blog to learn more about it. Come back Thursday, February 23rd for the tutorial to create Block #3! ********************************************************** Join us to make this quilt in just 5 weeks!
