Split stitched felt leaves

October 17, 2009 by Linda Lanese

Here is a very diverse felted Oak Leaf tutorial that can be used this fall and into the holidays. Now is the perfect time to collect your leaves to use as patterns for this project. Lisa suggests that you scan the leaf to create your pattern. I know my yard is filled with beautiful leaves for this purpose.  Lisa of 5 Orange Potatoes, suggested that you can find any type of leaf for this project in your own backyard. I know Martha Stewart has and oak leaf templates on her site.  The headband that Lisa has made is just adorable and would be gorgeous to wear on Thanksgiving.   She also sewed one onto a bag and it looks smashing. Enjoy this tutorial and stop by and tell Lisa you found her on craft gossip felting. About Lisa:  I am a stay at home, nature lovin,’ felt lovin,’ vegetarian earth mama! I have two lovely daughters, a hard-working husband and lots of animals- turtles, cats and dogs. We love the outdoors and nature…which inspire us daily. I have a BA from Ohio State University and my Masters of Arts in Teaching from Mary Baldwin College. I have taught elem. ed. and preschool for about 20 years in schools and parks, my focus has always been science and env. ed. I have a great love of herbs and their medicinal qualities have been studying them for a long time and continue to learn all I can about them. I have been asked numerous times how I have raised such nature lovin’ and creative little ladies. This site is dedicated to those questions; this is how I do it!

Etsy Spotlight: 1955 Baby Doll Nightgown & Bloomers Pattern

Vintage is making a serious comeback – and I’m 100% here for it. There’s just something timelessly romantic and effortlessly charming about retro styles, and this 1955 Baby Doll Nightgown & Bloomers PDF Pattern is a dreamy example. With delicate details and a classic silhouette, this three-piece sleepwear set captures the elegance and playfulness of mid-century fashion.

But here’s what makes it even more exciting: imagine sewing this pattern using vintage sheet sets! Not only does it give a sweet, nostalgic vibe (hello, florals and pastel stripes), but it also turns your sewing project into a sustainable, upcycled creation. Repurposing old linens is one of my favorite tricks for reducing waste while still making something utterly beautiful and functional. The soft, worn-in feel of vintage sheets also makes them perfect for loungewear like this.

Whether you’re sewing this for yourself, gifting it to someone special, or even displaying it as part of a vintage-inspired craft fair, this pattern is as versatile as it is adorable.
