Description
Gnomes for your home! Stitch a year-round collection of 12 friendly gnomes for your home using this fabulous new book by sewing superstar Debbie Shore.
Gnomes aren't just for winter! Sewing superstar Debbie Shore presents a friendly, fashion-forward, all-new collection of 12 gnomes for your home, based on her hugely popular Erik and Ola creations from Half Yard (TM) Winter.
Beginning with all the materials and tools you'll need, as well as guidance on making up the 2 body sizes (small and large) and key features such as feet, braids and beards, Debbie then shows you how to make 12 magical gnomes. From Moss the Woodland Gnome and Noel the Christmas Gnome, to Eek the Witch Gnome and Hearty the Pirate Gnome, there is a whole host of characterful friends to stitch!
Fun accessories feature in the outfits throughout, including wings, a toadstool hat, flowers, bees and more - why not mix-and-match outfits and accessories, so you can make a gnome that's gn-unique to you!
Full-size templates for key accessories and shapes are included at the back of the book.
