I KNOW I have been threatening to release my Wombat Pattern<\/strong> for ages<\/strong> BUT there seems to have been a reason why I have been battling with… well, there’s NO kind way to put this, his butt!!!! I had just finished sewing the final wombat prototype which I was FINALLY really happy with… <\/span><\/p>\n

when the strangest coincidence happened!<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

After months of agonising over him, and just at the minute I decided he’s “good to go” I got a phone call from a magazine editor saying she was in a pickle as they’d finally decided on an Australiana theme<\/strong> and she had 4 weeks to get an Aussie Softie Pattern and she was just phoning to see if I could make a WOMBAT PATTERN!!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

So………..you’re NOT going to believe this BUT this wilful WOMBAT has been pipped at the post by<\/span><\/p>\n

the cutest EVER
\nlittle baby PEACOCK!!!!<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Peacock<\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

This is little<\/span> Punju Peacock toy sewing pattern<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, and she is named after one of the<\/span> lovely Blue Mango sewers<\/span><\/strong><\/a> who I worked with at the Fair Trade organisation in Feb this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have really battled to take a photo that shows you just how cute she really IS<\/strong> in “REAL LIFE”<\/strong>…<\/span><\/p>\n

Let me try another angle?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Peacock<\/h2>\n

…and another?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Peacock<\/strong><\/p>\n

OK I’m just showing her off now!!!!<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Well, just like EVERY NEW MUM, I think my new baby is very sweet<\/strong> but I REALLY do feel bad<\/strong>, and I am so sorry to let down those of you who are dying for a wombat pattern<\/strong> BUT it was a too good an opportunity to pass up<\/strong>, plus it is a paid submission<\/strong>– YAY!!! So I’ll have to ask you to be patient a little bit longer… thanks in advance! \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n

I REALLY hope she is a good enough substitute for a wombat!!!!<\/span><\/h2>\n

Happy Sewing,
