Meet Gudule

March 15, 2015 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 6 Comments

Gudule

My crochet phase is continuing. This week I have completed Gudule, a sweet amigurumi crochet pattern from Tendre Crochet, by Sandrine Deveze (aka Tournicote). I have had a few emails about this book, since I showed photos of my crocheted pear. The crochet book is in French but the patterns are fairly straight forward if you have a list of French crochet terms at hand.

Gudule

I used Moda Vera Beetle yarn in this project which is a cotton/acrylic blend, and is available from Spotlight stores. I used a 3.75 mm crochet hook. The fabric used for her scarf is Sweet Meadow in Orchid from the Dreamin Vintage range designed by Jeni Baker for Art Gallery Fabrics.  The colours in the fabric are a perfect match for the yarn. I used some 4ply crochet cotton for the rosy cheeks.

If you follow us on Instagram you will have seen this progress shot. After I took the photo I realised the one of the legs was wrong so some reverse crochet was needed!

A beautiful new read + a sweet sewing project insp A beautiful new read + a sweet sewing project inspired by the Albi sisters.Thanks to @tesswoods_author and @penguinbooksaus for the advance copy of this captivating story.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I’ve just finished reading The Cairo Bridal Shop by local author Tess Woods — and it completely swept me away.Set at the foot of the pyramids, the Albi Bridal Shop is home to three sisters fighting to break tradition and shape their own futures. Inspired by ancient pharaoh queens, they draw on generations of women, culture, sacrifice, and resilience to find their strength.Tess calls this “the book of her heart,” weaving her family history into a story of sisterhood, identity, faith, strong women, and delicious Egyptian food.While reading, I kept thinking about the three Albi sisters — Sarah, Aya, and Lola — each navigating their own challenges, each fighting for the life she deserves.So I stitched three Heart Bookmarks, one to represent each sister. A tiny handmade nod to their courage, creativity, and connection.Each bookmark is made from quilting cotton, wool felt, lace, and a silky tassel — quick to sew, lovely to gift, and perfect for marking your place in a story full of strong women.I was completely captivated by The Cairo Bridal Shop. The relationships between the sisters are truly the heart of the story — tender, complicated, loyal, and full of resilience.I loved the structure: six dresses, each inspired by a Pharaoh queen, each opening a new chapter of their lives. The cultural details, the food, the history, the Cairo setting — it all felt vivid and immersive.A beautiful, emotional story of family, identity, courage, and the strength we find in the women around us.If you only read one book this year, make sure it is The Cairo Bridal Shop.If you’d like to stitch your own Heart Bookmark, the pattern is free.Comment BOOKMARK and I’ll send you the link.A sweet, quick project — perfect paired with a good book.Thanks for being here — I love sharing small sewing projects that bring joy to your day.
