FPP Ugly Sweater Block
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays……in October! Today Amy Smart and I are up for the Riley Blake Designs Hush Hush 2 blog tour. Hush Hush 2 is the follow up low volume collection collaboration from all your favorite RBD designers (my contribution is the sweet strawberry print).
To celebrate, all of the designers are taking turns creating a free pattern for a 3” embroidery hoop ornament using the Hush Hush 2 prints. I was brainstorming holiday theme ideas and my daughter said “make an ugly sweater!” So I did.
It’s my first official foundation paper pieced (FPP) block pattern. It took more than a few brain cells to figure out, but I’m happy with the result. These sweaters are teeny! And not really ugly, super cute. You can fussy cut a design for the main part of the sweater, or embroider a design on some plain fabric (I couldn’t resist adding sparkle elbow patches to the red sweater).
Click on the link below to download the FREE pattern. You will have to checkout through my store, but shouldn’t enter any payment information. While there, be sure to sign up for my newsletter. In November I’ll be sending out another free FPP house block pattern.
