♥ Blogmas 2020!

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! It’s almost December, as you probably noticed. And as every year I have Christmas blogs in December. I am back this year with Blogmas! Yay! You could also call it advent, just what you like. It just means that we will have 24(!!) days of Christmas Amigurumi this year! A pattern every day until Christmas!

I hope you are ready for that. Don’t worry too much, they are all pretty small and I tried to limit the amount of sewing on these (Most of them at least, some couldn’t be avoided). So, they must be done pretty quickly.

I know December is already a very busy month. This year it feels different as well cause of all the stuff happening in the world. But I just think it’s better to keep as much normal as possible, like decorating, my blogmas, baking etc. Let’s get those Christmas vibes! We are also allowed to have some things we enjoy, let’s focus on the good!

For this year I will also make a PDF pattern with all blogmas patterns in there and post it on my Ko-Fi shop. So, you can enjoy them ad free. And yes, I will probably also make a Etsy shop just for this. I will open it officially somewhere next year probably. The patterns will be available in English (US terms) and in Dutch! Woohoo~~. I will update this blog with the link when it’s live!

I hope you are just as excited as I am, I love all the patterns I made for you this year!

Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you on Dec 1st!

Love
Danielle

PS. if you love those Blogmas patterns, maybe you’d like to support me on Ko-Fi?! So I can keep making content like this!

♥ Pietje Gnome Amigurumi

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! Here is another Sinterklaas related Amigurumi, it’s a little Pietje! I hope you like him. It was very different to make compared to the Sint version (which you can find here!). I kept changing my mind on how I wanted it to look, in the end I just went with this. Tried really hard to not keep fiddling around. Let’s go to the pattern.

Pietje Gnome made with Amigurumi

For this pattern you’ll need:
♥ Yarn in the colors Purple, Blue, White, Black and Brown/Beige. (I used Budgetyarn.com and Stylecraft Special DK)
♥ Crochet hook. ( I used a 3mm)
♥ A few feathers.
♥ Stuffing.
♥ Yarn Needle.
♥ Sewing Pins.
♥ Stitch Marker.

Stitches used (US Terms):
Magic Ring.
CH = Chain.
SLST = Slip Stitch.
SC = Single Crochet.
HDC = Half Double Crochet.
DC = Double Crochet.
ST = Stitch.
BL = Back Loops.
FL = Front Loops.
Inc = Increase.
Dec = Decrease.

♥ Assembling

Whenever I start to assemble Amigurumi’s I use sewing pins first. This way I can move all parts around until I am happy. I recommend you do so as well.

Sew the hat on the body, it will go up till the collar. On top the the black part of the hat the nose will go. Last sew on his feet. And don’t forget to add some feather to his hat, to finish it off!

That was it already for this Pietje Gnome! It’s not too hard to make, but oh so cute! I hope you will enjoy this pattern. Let’s make it fun inside out home’s even when the world is cruel outside. It’s better to try to do those things we can control and make us feel a little better instead of being anxious all the time.

If you decided to make this Pietje Gnome, please, show me on Twitter or Instagram with the #DelinleaDIY. I would love to see what you made with my patterns!

Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you next week!

♥ Assembling

Whenever I start assembling Amigurumi, I always use sewing pins first. This way I can move parts around until I am happy with how it looks, then I’ll sew them on.

Start with sewing on Mushu’s belly to the body, sew all along the edge. Then you can add the tail as well, don’t forget to add the tip of the tail and the extra pointy bits for the tail. Next sew on Mushu’s legs.
After that it’s time to assemble his face. Start with his nose, I placed it just under where you started the body. Then you also know where the whiskers and eyes go. Sew these all on neatly. When you almost sewn on the nose, add a bit of stuffing in there.
Then position the horns, on top of his head, make sure you sew them on the right way. Under the horns, come the ears. Fold those in half and sew it on. Under that 2 small spikes will go on each side.
Last sew on the spikes on his back, 1 Medium, 1 Large and then 1 Medium nicely in the middle.
Don’t forget to make pupils for the eyes, I used a bit of black felt and glued it on. There are also some details in the nose, use a bit of black yarn and embroider those on.

And Mushu is done! I hope you had fun making this pattern! This one was requested by one of my followers. So, if you have request for future patterns as well, just let me know and I’ll see what I can do for you! Just contact me on Twitter or Instagram or leave a comment/contact form. If you made any of my patterns I would love to see, please show me on  Socials as well with #DelinleaDIY.

Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you next week!

♥ Assembling

Whenever I start assembling Amigurumi’s, I use sewing pins first to put it together. This way I can easily move parts around until I am happy. Then I will sew it on.

I started with sewing on the tail of the Cheshire cat first, where you can see rows switching in the back. After I positioned the legs, and sew those on as well.
Then it’s time to get the snout on, find the top light pink row of the body, then go one row up and above that one you can sew on the snout. Then attach the nose as well.
Last I’ve sewn on the ears.
Now for the fluffy bits by the ears and on his cheeks. I use strands of yarn and tied about 2 or 3 together. With a needle I’ve pulled them to the spot I wanted them to be in. Cut them to about the length you want the fluff to be. Use a needle to unraffle the yarn and brush it out to make it fluffy. Give it a final cut to the right length.
Last make his facial detail out of some felt and use a needle and thread if you prefer.

And the Cheshire Cat is all done! I hope you had fun today and were able to make this cutie. If you did, show me on Twitter and Instagram with #DelinleaDIY. I’d love to see.

Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you next week.

♥ Assembling Truning Tsum Tsum

Usually I use sewing pins to put amigurumi together first, but since you don’t use any stuffing for this one, that’s gonna be a bit tricky, you could try if you want to.

On both the Orange and White body, sew the beak on. On the White body, sew his shirt one, make sure to sew along all the edges, so it’s secure enough to flip it inside out. Then sew on his legs, 2 Orange at the back and the White in front. Under his Beak you will add his little bow. And last add his little hat, when you have sewn it on, make sure you use the tail end to make the small detail on top (lacking English here, help! Haha)
Now, back to the pumpkin version, since the beak is on, you can add all the lines on the body. It’s a bit hard to explain where they should go. But on the head there are 4 lines and on the body as well. Keep in mind that it should be a pumpkin, the lines on the head go from bottom to top, where they meet, and the lines on the body go from the head to the butt and meet there. Use the sewing thread and needle to do this. Or paint/draw them on if you feel that’s better/easier. When that’s done, sew the stem, hat, 4 legs and bow to the body.
Now let’s make some eyes, for the Pumpkin use brown felt, and make the eyes slightly bigger and oval, as you would normally do for Donald. And for the normal Donald, use black felt and cut out small circles. Glue those on and let dry well.

Now for the last part of assembling, put them together, the opening should be completely lined up and sew those together. I used only the back loops to do so. Now you can push one side inside the other. And if you feel like you want to other side, flip it. The first few times, this won’t go too smoothly, but after a few times, this goes easier.

I hope you had fun with this turning Tsum pattern and hope you will make it! If you did, please, show me on Twitter or Instagram with #DelinleaDIY, I’d love to see!

Happy Halloween!! and I’ll see you next week!

Love
