Plus - 20% off A Cuddly Giraffe and a Doll's Baking Day Accessories
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 19.
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. All those patterns are on sale this week!
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. 🙂

You know how frustrating it is to manhandle a big quilt through your machine and then realize you just sewed a whole long row without any bobbin thread? Yeah. Me too. Here’s how I keep that from happening.

The pattern includes the dress, the apron (including the cupcake embroidery pattern), the cookies, the spatula, and the baking tray. This is one of my favorites!

You can use any of my quilt block patterns to make cute felt coasters! The instructions also include general info on resizing my patterns – useful for SO MANY other possible projects.

Such a cutie!

I drew this emu as part of my 100 Days project in 2020. It became the Eloise Emu/Orly Ostrich pattern. I just love her cheerful face!

I redesigned the free bee pattern!

I also did the same fabric designs in a mostly-pink palette and called it Squeaky Toy. 😁

Another fabric collection – this one inspired by Mary Blair. The top right design (in sea glass colors) is now my desk pad and it makes me so happy every single day.
Have a terrific weekend!
Best,
