Week 17: Free Patterns for Topsy Turvy Dolls, Tiny Tote Bags, and Rainbow Rainclouds
Plus - 20% off Playful Puppies
The heart and soul of Shiny Happy World is in the archives. There are hundreds of free patterns and tutorials and it’s easy to be overwhelmed by all the information. Every Friday I share just a manageable sliver - a peek at what was happening during the same week of every year since the start of Shiny Happy World. This is Week 17.
If you’d rather not receive these Friday emails you can turn them off and still receive the regular Monday news.
Scroll down to where it says Notifications.
Click off the button for Oldies but Goodies.
Easy peasy!
This is a free post, with links to many free tutorials and patterns. If you know someone who’d like to read it, please share! 🥰
The archives are almost all free - but sometimes I released a new pattern in the shop during that week in history. This week that’s just one pattern - and it’s on sale!
Shiny Happy World has been around for a LOT of years now. That’s a lot of photos - possibly too many for your email provider to handle. If they chop off the end of the post, look for a link at the bottom where it will say something like “View Entire Message.” Depending on your email provider, it might just be a cryptic set of three dots. Click there to see the rest. 🙂

Scallops are great edges on skirts and fairy wings, and also make fun edges for hair!

Hello Wendi, I would like to have this free doll pattern to make for my 2 grand daughters. But my printer is not working at the moment. So I will just have to buy this pattern later It's okay because I still want it. But Thank You for offering it as a free pattern. That was really great of you to do. I hope others who are taking advantage of this free pattern. Have fun making it and even display their quilt. Pieces or Dolls on Facebook for everyone to see.
I look forward to these emails every week. I have made many of your wonderful quilt patterns, stuffed animals, and dolls. Thanks for making my day! Kim
