Minikins Season Three

After 9 months of production, I’m so excited to introduce you to Minikins Season Three! This is an exclusive bundle of 12 brand new sewing patterns, accompanied by 12 step-by-step videos. Included in the PDF pattern are full-color step-by-step photos, and you will also receive SVG files (for electric cutting machines), Projector Files (for home projector cutting), and A0 files (large format pattern pages for copy shop printing).

You can view all of the projects in my trailer video, and also check out the finished dimensions of each project as well as the supply list for each one, further down on the page.

I really loved designing the Minikins Season Three projects, and I hope you will love making them!
