My grandma made me a frog like this when I was about 5. I still have him. He is made of green polyester stretch fabric and stuffed with bird seed. I like these quilted ones and will be making a few for friends kids. Thanks.

I had one too-no idea what happened to it, but a lady in my dad’s church made it. I remember it especially because I had horrible migraines and I would put it on that side of my head. It blocked light and the weight gave me some relief so I could sleep. You never know what kind of relief or comfort you are sharing with others through the things you make. The lady’s name was Nanny Moreland and while she must have passed away long ago, she left good memories.

we made these 60 years ago and stuffed with popcorn, great toys!

I remember these basic frogs from the 1970s, I think we made them in Camp Fire Girls. They weren’t quilted, but they were quite easy to make and everyone loved them! It makes my heart happy to see them again.

I bought this patter and have made about 10 of these and they have been a success. People (adults) love them. It was very entertaining making these.

I wish my sister loved to sew. I imagine its so fun to create with your sister! No one in my family or my friends share the same passion as I do, I just have to watch u guys.. lol..

I can't wait to buy this pattern. So cute! Great tutorial. Your very brave to sew over the pins. That made me shiver for a bit! Thanks!

love the pressing down the seams lil trick!

I'm glad there is a tutorial on this. This is a great scrap project!!!

Just bought the pattern. Can't wait to make these adorable frogs.

The bottom layer of fabric is so your frog looks finished from the underneath side. If you omit this step, you will notice you see more of the interfacing. Hope that makes since. Thanks for watching!

I've not used poly pellets before, is a single layer of fabric enough to keep them from breaking through on the back?

could it be used as a pin cushion?

Do you put a backing on the top piece when you’re going to sew a separate piece of material on the bottom? How about the two sided tape? I went to your website to look for the pattern and all it had was the downloadable pattern. How do I get the printable pattern?

Oh; one more question, how do you close the small hole on the frog?

Where can we get poly pellets?

I so wish there was a ready-made template for them, I have the shakes and it can be challenging to say the least

Once I purchase the pattern, am I able to sell any that I make?

Hello Maria! Kimberly hasn't broken any needles by sewing over them.

It’s really cute but I don’t like the raw edges even if they are pinked. Made something similar in occupational therapy school as a beanbag but used camo and jeans material. Couldnt you sew it right sides together and turn it out?

do you have to quilt the frog and what about using dried beans instead of poly beads?

@FatQuarterShopTX

6 жыл бұрын

Hi Beverly, you do not have to quilt the frog, but the goal is to have the batting and fabrics "stick" together, so you can also try a fusible batting or just quilt around the frog and "stitch in the ditch" so you get fewer wrinkles and puckers once you're done. WHat you use for filling is completely up to you.

So over the years we have been asked this question many times and have come up with a policy. Our policy for resale or for non-profit is 10 items or less. If you have a resale license number such as a Tax ID number we will need that. If this is for non-profit … we will also need a copy of that paperwork. If you are planning to make more than 10 items, we can have our attorney contact you with information on completing a manufacturing agreement Thanks! - meandmysisterdesigns@cox.net" Thanks for your question.

You shouldn't sew over pins, you can break a needle. Sharp things flying isn't a good thing. I've also heard you can break your sewing machine that way, but it's never happened to me, thank goodness because I love my machine. I have broken my fair share of needles by sewing over pins by accident though!

I was taught to sew right over my pins and have been doing so for 36 years with no catastrophe. Yes, I have broken a few needles (very, very few) but the top part stays in the needle holder and the bottom part is still attached to the thread on the machine, not flying through the room at mock speed.

I don’t get why they sew 3 layers for the front then sew the back. Surely the front and batting for the front is enough, why add the backing? I’m a new sewer so there may be a very good reason for it, but when I make this I will not be making a 3 layer sandwich for the front.
