A Spoonful of Sugar is Now on Etsy

February 19, 2012 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 15 Comments

I am very excited to announce that I have finally opened an etsy store to sell some of my designs as pdf sewing patterns. The first pattern I am launching is for a Peanut Pillow. You may recall that I mentioned it here. I made up a batch at Christmas time and we used them on our long flight to Shanghai a few weeks ago- they provided us with great neck support and were so much better than those airline pillows.

Here is a peak at the pattern:)




The patterns are in pdf format and will be emailed to buyers usually within a few hours (depending on your time zone) and certainly within 24 hours. I am new to etsy so hope everything goes smoothly (fingersย crossed!)


Thanks to my sweet husband who used his great computer design skills to draft the pattern template.ย 



I have a number of other patterns in progress. Hope to be adding to my store soon.


You can find A Spoonful of Sugar on etsy here.

    Nice to see an oldie but a goodie re created. My mum used to make these back in the early 80’s and sold heaps of them. We always had one or two in the car. I am sure they were fabulous for flying comfort.

    Lisa honey, can i also give you another tip – these are brilliant for patients going through chemotherapy who need to wedge their arm, boob, bottom, back, anything for a little comfort. I know it sounds a bit strange but i make them for a local hospital in Canberra, they are just a great little aid to those who just need not suffer one more inconvenience. Gorgeous work, congratulations, love Posie

In today's reel, I'm making my free Threaded Tokens pattern and showing the cutting and sewing process.

For this version, I used the new SOHMO decorative scissors to create modern scalloped and zigzag edges. They add such a lovely finish and instantly elevate the look of these quick little makes.
