Toadstool Village Sewing + Embroidery Pattern

Toadstool pattern

I absolutely loved making this! I've made it for my 3 year old grandaughter. (Yet to give to her). I'm sure she will love it. Her mum is a toadstool lover, so I think she will love it as much :) I added large buttons on the top for the spots, red velvet and fluffy fleece for the roof. I added some rambling roses around the corduroy door using my embroidery stitches on my machine. Also various flower shaped braids and lace too. All from my scraps. I will be making one for my nieces newly born daughter,Ivy, next. (Perhaps I should add some Ivy leaves!)She has a nursery with a woodland theme so it will go perfectly! Thank you for the inspiring patterns.

Birth present

On a little campertrip to France, I handstitched this toadstool with a babygnome, for my daughter who’s pregnant. As decoration in the nursery. For a long time I wanted to make a toadstool, now I did it. I’ll definitely make more, with embroidery. Thanks T&T for the as always easy to follow instructions.

A joyful make

I have loved looking at the Toadstool houses that have been produced, but with no v smalls haven't made this pattern..... then a lightbulb moment that I could adapt the pattern to be a storage container- then Iand my not so smalls could home one of these delights. I fully lined the stalk and base, added extra sturdy interfacing and used bias to finish the top edge. I added lavender to my top cushion so it brings a lovely aroma to the room in which it sits when it is handled. Loved the quiet activity of decorating my house , I added a kite [ for obvious reasons] to my design, and a kam snap to close the door- using the inside snap to be the face of my cat waiting inside. The seam seemed dull so last moment I added a sunflower to it.
