Thank you!
Many thanks Olena for your lovely easy to follow free patterns I really appreciate you skill and time in sharing them with me. I always look forward to what you are able to do.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I am really happy to hear that you like my work!
Is there a video tutorial?
Sorry, there is no video for this pattern.
Love your santa, making them for tree decorations for my granddaughter for a surprise for Christmas. She just loves things like this. Would you let me sell them by stating that I gained the pattern from your site ( GoldenLucyCrafts.com)? If you would prefer not to then that’s okay I wouldn’t do that without your permission anyway. I would have liked to put them into boxes of about 6 and sell on media. I don’t have a media site yet but at 75 years of age and being disabled now I’m looking to sort some sort of outlet for my skills also, and this is at the moment just in the planning stages. I used to design and make wedding dresses, I had a business that dealt with all the aspects of weddings male and female attire, including flowers, headpieces etc.
Yes, you can sell finished items made from my patterns. Thank you for asking!
