TDITM June: Goose a-Laying
New month, new challenge! If you are participating in my Twelve Days in Twelve Months sewing challenge to complete one Twelve Days ornament a month, it’s time to sew the sixth pattern: Goose a-Laying!
Can you believe we are already on the 6th month of our Twelve Days In Twelve Months challenge? Just like the first pattern in the series, Goose a-Laying has a bonus ornament included: the egg! If you did the April Extra Credit assignment for Easter, you have already sewn your egg and can just concentrate on the goose! Alas, I did not do the extra credit, so I need to tackle both ornaments this month. For mine, I will be swinging back to the teal/green end of my palette (similar to Colly Bird and Turtle Dove).
Q: I’m just starting. Is there still time to make a full set by Christmas?
A: Heck yeah! Sewing one pattern per month is actually a pretty sedate pace. You could very comfortably sew 3-4 of these ornaments per month. In panic mode, sewing 2 ornaments a week is doable, but that would be a bit less enjoyable. Ha! (Each ornament takes 2-3 crafternoons to make.) Jump on in and sew at your own pace. Remember: No matter how many ornaments you make by December, you will still be closer to a set!
Add a photo of your completed ornaments in the comments of the pinned Facebook post, or tag your Instagram post with @mmmcrafts and #twelvedaysin12months to share your progress! (Please, no photos of my pattern pages.)
Buy the Goose a-Laying pattern if you don’t have it yet. (Or if you need the whole series, the 1-12 bundle is the best discounted price and contains bonus materials!)
COLOR GUIDES
SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate-ish (if you have made the first five patterns, you are ready)
Does anyone know where I can get the 12 days in the winter white and aquarium colorway?
Sorry, not sure what vendor that might be!
