Yeehar! I have some exciting news! My NEW Mrs Claus sewing pattern is ready for testing!\ud83e\udd36 <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What SIZE is the finished Mrs Claus?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The finished Mrs Claus doll is 39cm (15\u00bdinches) when standing. When sitting, she measures 27cm(about 11inches) from the table to the top of her cap. She is a prefect size for pairing with my All I want for Christmas SANTA<\/a><\/span><\/strong> sewing pattern!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Look how cute
\nthey look together!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is there a Photo tutorial for the Mrs Claus Toy Pattern?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

YES!<\/strong> I have created a step-by-step photo tutorial<\/strong> so you can see EXACTLY how to sew my Mrs Claus pattern – with lots of clever toy making tips and tricks! <\/span>As usual, you can access the tutorial using the link in the See-Me-Sew section of the pattern.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

*Please check you typed the link in correctly, or you’ll get<\/span>

OK, so how does TESTING work?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

You don’t have to be a very experienced sewer or even a brilliant toy-maker. <\/span>You can test the pattern even if you have NEVER sewn a toy before!<\/span><\/p>\n

ANYONE can be<\/span><\/p>\n

a <\/span>Tester ~><\/span><\/p>\n

BUT, you need to be FREE in the next 10 days!!!<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

We have a<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

You need to be able to sew up the toy and send in the photographs by the deadline date – Christmas Eve – 23rd December, 2024 (In YOUR time zone!)<\/strong><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You will need to buy the pattern first and sew Mrs Claus:<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
