MMMMM I love the wreath. And only today I saw someone on Facebook having done some. What I am wondering is why they are called Suffolk Puffs?! I know them as Fabric YoYo's. It just goes to show that even in craft circles everything gets re invented :)]]> Mon, 29 Apr 2013 14:58:59 +0000 http://www.makingmagazine.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39&PID=1793#1793 In Making : Super Softies - Jack and Daisy Rabbit - HELP!! http://www.makingmagazine.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47216&PID=1792#1792 Author: TanyaB

Hi Sarah, our contributor Jemima had a look over the instructions and has come up with some hopefully simpler, clearer steps: 

1. Sew the two haves of the head front together (with right sides facing)

2. Sew the two halves of the head back together (with right sides facing)

3. You now have, in effect, one front and one back piece

4. Sew the head front piece and the head back piece together (right sides facing) but AS YOU DO SO, place the ears in position along this join/seam line * so that they face the front head piece and are incorporated into the seam

*the bottom edge of the ears will align with the raw edges of the head back piece and the head front piece and the ear themselves will be sandwiched between the two pieces (head front and back) as you stitch

I hope that helps? Any further problems with the instructions don't hesitate to get in touch as we're always here to help in any way we can.

Thanks,

Tanya

Hi Shay, I'm afraid that with our older issues we don't have the full size templates available, only the scaled down versions that we used in the magazine. However I can ask our designer to take the old file and create a new split print pattern in A0, A3 and A4 sizes and then I'll upload them to our website so that you can download them directly from there. I'll pop the link here once it's been done. 

Thanks,

Tanya

At Christmas I was looking for a way of displaying my mini Christmas Stockings, so I hung them from coloured butchers twine using mini clothes pegs.
This made me think how good my Christmas Stockings would look if they were added to bunting, using the pegs, so they could be removed at the end of the festive season. I then thought why not do the same with the rest of the bunting?
This has led to “Pick Your Own” (PYO) Bunting:
Choose a starter kit in your preferred colour, this provides bunting tape and three matching gingham pennants with pegs, then select individual pennants to complete your bunting.

Uh, that does not make sense to me either. I am afraid I don't have the pattern so I can't be of help but all I can think of is that you contact Tanya at the magazine or try their Facebook page. If you can't do either of those let me know and I will contact them for you :)]]> Fri, 29 Mar 2013 22:23:07 +0000 http://www.makingmagazine.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47216&PID=1603#1603 In Making : Super Softies - Jack and Daisy Rabbit - HELP!! http://www.makingmagazine.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47216&PID=1602#1602 Author: sarah240404

Hi,
 
This is a long shot, can anyone help! I've been persevering away making two rabbits from the Jack and Daisy Rabbit pattern in the Simply Softies supplement, that I think came with the October 2012 issue.  I was trying to make them for my daughters for Christmas, but I ran ot of time, so now I'm trying for Easter!
 
I'm pretty much a novice sewer and I don't have a lot of time for it, but I want to get better!
 
The instruction step for the head has got me totally flummoxed.  There's front head pieces, and back head pieces.  You're supposed to"place the two front head pieces right side together, machine stitch the curved edge, clip the edges and TURN RIGHT SIDE OUT.  Then do the same for the two back head pieces."  Then you have to position the ears on either side of the seam on the back head pieces and tack in place.  then "with right sides facing place the front of the head and back of head together, match the seam line, pin and tack and stitch all layers together" then "clip the curves and turn RIGHT SIDE OUT"
 
Well, its beyond what I can figure out.  How can I turn something right side out twice? I cannot visualise in my head how I get all the pieces together .
 
HAs anyone made these? Can you help with some super clear instructions? It would be so much appreciated, pretty much in tears over this just now.
