The official release is here! 🌸 You can now get the Vulva pattern 💖

📄 The PDF pattern (in English & Spanish) is now available on my Ko-fi (link in bio) 🛒

This project has been a beautiful design journey, but what touched my heart the most during testing was seeing it come to life in so many different ways. We talked a lot with the testers about the diversity of our bodies: no two vulvas are the same, and seeing each crocheter create a unique, individual, and beautiful version was simply magical

I want to thank my amazing testers from the bottom of my heart for their time, patience, and for bringing so much love and respect to this process. This wouldn't have been possible without you 🥹💕

Este proyecto fue un viaje hermoso de diseño, pero lo que más me tocó el corazón durante el testeo fue ver cómo cobró vida en tantas formas distintas. Hablamos mucho con las chicas sobre la diversidad de nuestros cuerpos, no hay dos vulvas iguales, y ver que cada tejedora lograba una versión única, diferente y hermosa fue sencillamente mágico

El patrón en PDF (en español e inglés) ya está disponible en mi Ko-fi (link en mi bio) 🛒

[TESTER APPRECIATION & GIVEAWAY]

I could not have asked for a better group of testers for my first pattern. They absolutely knocked it out of the park with the color combinations they came up with, and half the time the group chat was an absolute gab fest!
They were such a huge help working through the gauge issues and figuring out which yarn/hook combinations worked best for this pattern. Please go check out their pages and see their amazing work!

You guysssss

First off, look at all my testers makes! The Car Swing is specifically in the Hallow Hook CAL 🎃 (part 1 goes live Sept. 7). So that was the version tested, but I gave everyone free rein to do as they please & some of the ideas man! 😮‍💨

🤓Can you count how many different ways they changed the pattern? I’ll give you a hint it’s more than 3!

🤓They also came up with making it a bookmark! But that isn’t pictured so we won’t count that. The possibilities are literally endless y’all 🥺

Also, I couldn’t tag everyone (hit the limit). So these are the rest of my testers accts: 🧡

📖Story Time: I originally wanted the design to be like Bubbles the 🐉, but the 3-D part was making the ship impossible (without turning it into a several hour long make). Which as we know I like to keep most of my designs under 3 hours so that wasn’t gonna work. 😕

📖I finally decided to scrap it & completely start over. It took me a week to figure it out, but once I did baby isn’t that a pirate ship?! 🤭The inspiration photo was the black pearl 😍 & ships like her.

📖It’s definitely not an exact replica, but I believe I got the “piratey” vibe down! 🥳

🏴‍☠️I can also say it is the ONLY 1 piece pirate ship appliqué/car swing/keychain on the market! Ik ik, most of my designs are unique, but this 1 was a shock! 🫪 Anyways can you tell I’m excited to share this 1 with you all? 😅

Pattern Release!

My Slime Farmer patterns are out now in my Ko-fi and Etsy shops! Beatrix requires sewing for her two knee pads, slimepedia, hair cap, and cowlick. For the honey slime, you have to sew on its three honeycombs. For the hunter slime, you have to sew on its two ears. The puddle slime requires no sewing. In the pattern, I used Big Twist Posh Chic yarn, worsted-weight yarn for the details, felt, and 14mm and 10mm safety eyes.

This wouldn’t be possible without my pattern testers! Make sure to check out their accounts:
