My fairy for the tree. FREE PATTERN



Fairy pattern
 I decided to make a fairy for my tree. She is called Mist. She is about 10 inches. Made her in rather subdued  colours which is not what I wanted but I so wanted to use the lovely fabric so that is what dictated the colours. I am also making the pattern available free as a Christmas gift for anyone interested to make one. The challenge is if I can upload the file or not. Sorry I am not able to upload yet but will try again later. Have to find out a bit more about uploading a pdf file.

I could not upload it as a pdf . I have also been very upset regarding this as when I posted the pattern in my doll group one well know designer piped up and made a comment which I think she was inferring that I had copied her pattern. This pattern is nothing very complicated to draw which anyone who has a little bit of drawing skill can draw it up without thinking even. Also one can draw a simple doll body only in a few ways no rocket science involved here. I didn’t even know that she had a similar pattern as I don’t collect patterns of each designer. Anyway some of my other doll friend who has her pattern has said that mine is not like hers the over all shape a bit like hers but  like I said how many other ways can you draw a simple body like this? When people make comments without thinking it is hurtful. I do not make dolls to compete or get compliments I just do it for my pleasure. And because it gives me pleasure I like to share in a little way, by giving something to people who would like to make my dolls.

Sorry for the rant it spoilt my weekend and I have felt very hurt.  So I redid the post again . I hope you can print this pattern if you want. If you cannot please drop me a line i can send it to you by

    1. Hi Gloria i have the file in pdf I am not sure how to upload it in blogger. I tried and got it I think but I am not sure if rest of the stuff is visible in my google drive for others to see. I don’t want that. I just want this file to be visible.

  2. I love everything about her and those shoes ...and wings and ...it's all really nice~ If I sewed I would love a pattern but I don't even own a machine anymore. I had one machine when I was in high school ...so long ago and I don't even remember what happened to it. I hope u stay creating and show us more tree fairies..etc.
