Miss Brigette’s Tattooed Lady

Miss Brigette’s Tattooed Lady is on my wishlist as is her coyote and crow having a picnic print.

I just went on a bender buying kids books for my kid that I remember having growing up. For instance Richard Scary’s Busy Busy World. I swear I had chills looking at the illustrations. The ghost in the castle of mice? the Egyptian coffin?!

I bring that up just because looking at her illustration style reminds me of kids book illustrations in the way that makes me feel like I want to swing super high and jump off and fly through the air. I hope she does illustrate a kids book. I was reading n interview with Maurice Sendak recently where he described the kids book illustration game circa Where the Wild Things Are as a crazy-ass free for all. Ah, those were the days.

Oh, she also has a blog here.

UPDATED: Oh I just realize that she is the woman who designed the cute cat Swarovski Crystalc ommercial! You can watch it here.

Okay, full confession—we don’t have any babies in our life right now, but that doesn’t stop me from swooning over sweet little sewing patterns like this adorable goose baby lovey! I mean, how could you resist that soft, cuddly face and those tiny wings? It’s giving timeless nursery charm with a modern handmade twist.

This pattern comes as a PDF with a helpful English video tutorial, so it’s perfect for confident beginners or anyone wanting to try their hand at sewing softies. It’s designed to be both a comfort toy and a keepsake—just the kind of thing little hands love to hold, and mamas love to treasure.

Maybe it’s time I start putting a few baby patterns away for the (not-too-distant?) future—grandchildren stash, anyone? Even if you’re not sewing for a little one right now, this pattern is a total heart-stealer and would make the most beautiful handmade baby shower gift.
