My cousin's daughter is expecting a baby in June and she asked me to do some applique work for the new baby. Her mother who is no more was pretty good at needlework and she had some of the Portuguese needlework magazines called Maos de Fada which were available here in Goa during the Portuguese regime. My father saw them and he started buying them for my mother from whom I have inherited my love for needlework. We have a few issues and whenever I needed to do embroidery I knew that when I turned to this bound volume I would always find a suitable pattern for whatever it is that I wanted to make. It so happened that they brought along tracings of the applique rabbits and the applique clown face designs from an issue that we too have.
I took some time to digitize the clown applique design but when I had completed it and had sewn it out, I was really thrilled. I made a few changes to the first applique clown face design in order to get the other two clown face applique designs. They wanted a baby sheet or wrapper, a pillow cover and a pair of bolster covers. See the pictures below. You might also be interested in our other applique patterns for boys and applique patterns for girls which both include the whale applique designs, bird applique design, car applique design, helicopter design, ladybug applique design, flower applique designs and so many more.
