Twelve Months Of Sewing Club Featured E-Pattern For July 2009

It's July 2, 2009 and it is, once again, RAINING! In the month of June we had 23 rain days out of 30.  Certainly NOT traditional New England weather. 

Something has definitely changed with the weather in New England. I don't know what has happened or exactly what year it changed, but it is different than when I was growing up.

What hasn't changed since I was a child is my LOVE of the Fall season and the holidays that occur between September and December. 

So, In thinking about the Fall season I  decided that the "Instant Download E-Pattern" for the month of July for our Twelve Months of Sewing Club should be one of my favorite Halloween e-patterns. I decided to select LW170LWOEP "I Lost My Head! Abraham, The Headless Horseman."  In designing him I wanted to create something a little different for Halloween and he seemed perfect.  Plus, he's a Victorian gentleman with Victorian clothing.  And, we all know how much I love Victorian clothing.

So, how does the featured pattern deal work? Well, if you buy the "Featured Instant Download E-Pattern" you will get a FREE Linda Walsh Originals E-Pattern* (*of equal or lessor value) emailed to you. So, if you buy "I Lost My Head!

Why, he didn't even get any blood on his outfit? Now, that's gentlemanly - don't you think?

What's the problem? Are the heads throwing you off?

Actually, Abraham otherwise know as the "Headless horseman" is quite the Victorian gentleman.

He always dresses in his Victorian best. He's always coordinated. And, he's always the PERFECT gentleman.




Except when he can't find "Ichabod Crane!" Then he gets - well, a little nasty.

You'd think "Ichabod Crane" would make it easy on him. Oh, no! He has to see a therapist who's trying to help him overcome his fears of the "headless horseman."

Now how's Abraham supposed to do his job if Ichabod manages to overcome his fears?






"I Lost My Head! Abraham, The Headless Horseman" is a 14" Victorian Horseman doll from our new Holiday Victorian line.

Abraham is a self-standing horseman cloth doll - albeit without a head!

He is wearing a multi-layered lace trimmed shirt with lace trimmed sleeves and coordinating lace trimmed ascot. His cummerbund is a wide gold trimmed ribbon. His brown corduroy jacket is lined and top stitched with rolled cuffs and folded back lapels with buttons. He's also sporting a lined black cape.

Abraham is carrying the heads of two of his latest victims in his left hand and his favorite ax in his right hand. He just wants to show them to Ichabod Crane. Now why can't he find him?

Twelve Months Of Sewing Club Featured E-Pattern For June 2009

It's June 4, 2009 and right now I'm roasting.  It's supposed to be Spring weather in New England, but it's hot. 

When I was growing up in New England we always had 4 seasons - my two favorites being Fall and Spring.  The Fall was always breezy and the air was always crisp.  Spring was always cheery and mild.  Winters were snowy and wet and Summer was just plain hot.  Now, it seems like we only have two seasons - winter and summer.  Oh, how I miss Spring and Fall.

In thinking about the seasons I couldn't help but think about Fall - my favorite season of all.  Not just because I LOVE the weather but, because that's when my most creative "mojo" is flowing.    For some reason my creative juices just love the Fall season. 

So, I decided that the "Instant Download E-Pattern" for the month of June for our Twelve Months of Sewing Club should be one of my favorite Fall e-patterns. I decided to select LW141LWOEP "Punky - Elmer's Little Scarecrow."

So, how does the featured pattern deal work? Well, if you buy the "Featured Instant Download E-Pattern" you will get a FREE Linda Walsh Originals E-Pattern* (*of equal or lessor value) emailed to you. So, if you buy "Punky - Elmer's Little Scarecrow" you can choose another e-pattern* for FREE.

"Punky - Elmer's Little Scarecrow" is a 10" Victorian scarecrow doll who loves his nickname of “Punky.” He’s Elmer’s secret pal. Only Elmer can see him and talk to him. Punky likes Elmer but feels that Elmer keeps him from doing his job. After all, he is a scarecrow.

Punky’s face is embroidered and he has a cloth head and body. He has a lined vest, bow tie, fringed shirt which he wears out to cover his pot belly. He’s wearing pantaloons, black/white shoes, lined sculley cap and has raffia for hair. He has his wooden rake all ready for the leaves. Or, maybe he’s using it to swat those nasty crows.






“Punky - Elmer’s Little Scarecrow” loves his nickname of “Punky.”  But, he can't tell anyone his name or anything about himself.

Why? Because he’s Elmer’s secret pal.   You see - only Elmer can see him and talk to him.  

Punky likes Elmer quite a lot, but feels that Elmer keeps him from doing his job.   After all, he is a scarecrow. And his job is to scare away the birds and the crows not to spend all day playing with Elmer.

But, he likes playing with Elmer so he's learned how to charm his way around the birds and scarecrows. And, it actually is working.   Elmer is his friend. In fact, he's his best friend. Not only that, but he's his only friend.   So, he'll play along with Elmer as much as he wants. For he knows that if Elmer doesn't think about him he doesn't exist.

He has his wooden rake all ready for the leaves. Or, maybe he’s using it to swat those nasty crows.

Nope! Not Punky. His rake is all show. He is "The Charming Scarecrow" after all.

We hope you enjoy making "Punky - Elmer's Little Scarecrow."
