Birthday Pattern Weights

Ruthwhoisnotablogger had a birthday recently and we celebrated at craft night!  Mostly by cake and presents.  Because we're crafters, we made our gifts for her.  Here's what I made.

Pattern weights!  They are a nice useful gift.  I made mine out of linen, two types of cotton, satin dupion and plush velvet.  I used this tutorial and as suggested did them as a batch sew, which sped things up a lot!

I also made a little basket for them all to live in, so they hopefully won't clutter Ruth's house!

I enjoyed stitching them, but they were quite fiddly so I don't think I'll be making anymore for a while!
