Stash Update!

I couldn't help myself when I was in my mothers store last time and I had to bring home some new fabric of course =) I will have to add another Benno pillar from Ikea tobe able to fit my ever growing stash soon! Happiness!

A lovely fat quarter bundle of the Cats collection from Makeover UK had to come home with me of course! Just look at the little kitties and mice! <3

As I used up a bit of my basic beiges in my Circles of Times table runner I had to stock up a little, and I seriously couldn't possibly say no to the lovely sewing fabric! LOOK at those scissors!

I'm also very excited to share two beautiful Bring the Basic Bags made by the talented Sulan and Annelie, lovely work ladies! The photo is borrowed from Anki =)

Keep Your Sunglasses Safe - Raccoon Case! Free Pattern!

I've been wanting to make this pattern for a while, I wanted a soft case for my sunglasses that was easy to open all the way, so they where quick to get out when I needed them and easy to put back. This seemed like the best design for it =)

The reason I wanted a soft case was because I don't want it to take up a lot of room in my bag when not in use. And the Raccoon Case was born!

It's a limited time free pattern, so get it now =) This pattern is available for free download in the "files" section of my Facebook group.

The exterior fabric is from Tula Pinks lovely Acacia line, and the case got its name from the adorable Raccoon print =)

It opens up all the way.

And it's ever so handy! I just love it!

I hope you will enjoy this simple and quick to make little case as much as I do, it's a perfect, quickly whipped up gift =)

If you make a Raccoon Case, please hashtag your Instagram photos with #raccooncase and #pinkponydesign so I and everyone else get to see them! =D

A Small Competition Resulting in Tiny Bags

These little bags came to be in a very inofficial, good natured competition betweeen me and my very good friend Anki at quilt camp this summer. She had made a set of teeny tiny little zipper pouches so I naturally had to try to make an equally small one, and then an even smaller one of course. ;)

The day after Anki naturally had made an even smaller little pouch, which resulted in me having to make my smallest one to date ^^ It's so adorably small it only just fits my two earplugs for when I fly. The little clip is so I can attach it to the zipper pull on my big bag so I can find it when I need it. =)

The reason I came to think of these now was because when I met her in Sweden recently, she had made an even smaller one! It was just too cute and I think I have to admit defeat! ^^

Circles of Time Table Runner - A New Pattern!

I'm very excited to introduce my second Pink Pony Design pattern, the Circles of Time Tablerunner!

It is available for purchase on Craftsy here, or if you'd prefer the pattern in Swedish, you can purchase the Swedish PDF pattern from my mothers web shop here. If you are a store owner and wish to purchase the paper version of this pattern for wholesale, please drop me an email: maria@pinkponydesign.com =)

I had so much fun making this table runner, I actually literally dreamed of it, when I woke up I was so excited and I had to sketch it right away. I'll make a post about one of my weird ways of getting new designs another day =)

Isn't it just gorgeous there on the door? <3 I took a ton of photos trying to get the perfect one for the cover of the pattern. This was actually my runner up.

I love the touch of added depth and flair the addition of the subtle lines give it. 

Isn't it just so pretty matching the color of the sky and the leaves at the same time? Had such a hard time getting it to stay in place, it was quite windy ^^

Anyway, I really love it and I hope you will too! I think it looks so great in it's location at home =)

Linking up with the lovely Sew Fresh Quilts:

Borlänge Sycentrum, going strong on their third week!

Totally forgot to post this post in the middle of everything going on, so sorry to have kept you in suspense ;)

My parents store and sewing machine repair shop has been open since the 1st of October and it's just the best little store (no! I'm not biased ^^)! <3

More fabric is constantly coming in so soon there'll be many more shelves! And now there are jacket and trouser zippers filling the empty place in my photo.

The little store window with the sewing machines in the background. They got so many beautiful flower arrangements when they opened their doors, it was so much fun!

My little Bring the Basics Bag is currently on a visit there to help promote the pattern, and while I miss it, it's nice to know it's out "working" =)

It has been such an insanely cool feeling to see my first pattern in print! And I'm also so glad it's been selling! Thanks a lot to everyone who's purchased it! <3

I had way to much fun folding Fat Quarters into different shapes that week =)

I really wish them best of luck in this endeavour,  I'm so glad I got to be there at the start and I'm sure this will be a success! =D

I Love Pusheen! A Pusheen Pouch =)

Pusheen, the adorable, fat little cat who's captured so many hearts all over internet, is a favourite of mine. So when I saw the Spoonflower fabric with her on it, I naturally just HAD to have it, you know the feeling right? ;)

I used the oppertunity to try out Spoonflowers Faux Suede and ordered a test swatch. This was however left in the fabric drawer for some time (well over a year), but then recently I finally dug it out and turned it into this in my eyes adorable little zipper baggie. =) It's not very big, but it's fully lined. And I just love how well the zipper pull I decided on matched her coat <3

Unfortunately when I tried to find the fabric for this post now I couldn't find it, so I'm afraid it's no longer available for purchase.
