Pretty Little Monsters

Pretty Little Monsters, originally uploaded by qdpatooties.

I was going to put this up last night but my scanner was acting up. So I finally finished my monsters and have drawn up the pattern so you guys can make your own! I was going to upload it last night but my darn scanner would not cooperate.  So here it is in all it's Monster-y glory.


Just click on the image above to view it at it's original size or click HERE.  Then, right click on it with your mouse and save it to your hard drive.  Or you can just print it directly from your browser and it should work. I tested printing it using Safari as my Browser and it printed as a full size page without any alterations (meaning I did not have to check "shrink to fit page").

There are instructions on the pattern but I'll go over them for you here as well.  Please note there is a 1/8" seam allowance built into this pattern.  Trace the pattern onto the wrong side of your fabric.  Working with the two back pieces, place right sides together.  Sew from Point a to Point B and from Point C to Point D making sure to leave your opening for stuffing.  Open your fabric and then pin the front side of of the monster to the back side with right sides together.  Sew, turn, fray chek and clip cures.  Stuff and sew up the back of your monster using a ladder stitch.  When you give him a face, you have a choice.  You can either make a "cheering monster" or a "jeering monster." The "cheering monster" will have his hands up in the air and be happy and the "jeering monster" will have his hands down by his side and be all sad.  So with one pattern you get a twofer -- two monsters in one!

After you make your monster, I'd love to see them. If you're on Flickr, it's really easy by joining the q.D.PaToOtieS group there.  I will start picking some of the photos I find on there to share here on this Blog. 

Enjoy!

Thanks everyone!

Susan, you should be able to just double click on the photo of the pattern and it will open up to a larger size. I'll put a link in the post too to see if you can open it that way.
