Matroyshka, Pattern Give Away & a Discount!

Everyone's a winner with this Give Away and Discount -- 

please read to the end of this post for all the information! 

Last week I introduced to you a Matroyshka plushie that I made from a pattern that was given me by "Whimsy Couture".

We've named her...

Natasha.

"Whimsy Couture" is an online Pattern Shop 

with instantly downloadable patterns. 

In addition they have  

an Etsy Shop, also called "Whimsy Couture", 

where you can purchase patterns.

Today I'd like to acquaint you with another version of a plushie Matroyshka that I created! 

Meet Valentina...

For Valentina I used the basic Matroyshka pattern that was give me by Whimsy Couture, and I added a scarf and apron to make her mine. I love it when I can easily alter a pattern to change things up a little!

Now for the Give Away...

Matroyshka

Awhile ago I received an email from the PR Consultant for the online pattern store "Whimsy Couture." {They have an instant download pattern shop called "Whimsy Couture." In addition they have an Etsy Shop where their patterns are sold.} She was in the process of sending sample patterns to those who might be interested in reviewing and testing their patterns. It was an offer I couldn't refuse. Whimsy Couture has many patterns, but the one I chose was a little Matroyshka plush pattern that I felt certain one of my granddaughters would love! Here's my first Matroyshka plushie that was created from that cute pattern...

I used the basic PDF pattern that was delivered via email from Whimsy Couture, then I added a little scarf and apron to make her mine!

With a little poly-fil, she was almost ready for her new home...

To top her off, I added a crocheted flower that I'd had bought for just the right project a year ago. 

It found a home tucked into her hair...

Next week I'll be showing you another version of this cute pattern.  In addition I'll be hosting a Three Pattern Give-Away from Whimsy Couture AND everyone will be eligible for a discount coupon to use on any and all patterns in their store. That's my idea of a fabulous Give Away!
