Popular Post Charlie E Posted March 24, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Still on the sweater pin kick. Made one for my sister and her daughter, and this one for my 4 year old granddaughter. I let her pick what she wanted me to make. Such a diverse hobby we have.

Marg 1 hour ago, Badgerboy said: Ohh, I really like that! What an awesome idea, well done. Where do you find your designs or do you create them? I haven't found any patterns. I've just been Googling wooden shawl pins and using the images as patterns. I make them the size I want on Inkscape and print 2 so I can use one for each piece of the pin. On some, like the mouse and the cat, it helps to sand a groove in the body part to help the head and tail stay in the right place if that makes sense. I don't think copyrights would be an issue on something like this. A real pattern would be easier though. They are really fun to make.
