I love your Layton Bookmark, do you mind sharing the pattern? I have a friend who almost has her birthday and is equally fond of layton and reading I might be able to make it in time...

I would not mind at all, the only problem is that I don't really have a detailed pattern. I took the images from the Unwound Future for the DS by hand using a magnifying glass and graph paper. Here are my very rough "patterns" that I used for reference, but unfortunately I don't have the specific colours that I used.

I will work them into a better pattern eventually, just right now I have finals coming up in University so I can't guarantee when they will get done so at least with this you might be able to start.

Thanks, I can work with that! Ik can sort out the colors from your finished bookmark.

Well, I've worked out the pattern and picked out the colors for the bookmark. Made a start today, so hopefully I can finish it before next week.


Thanks for sharing the drawing!!!

No problem for sharing the pattern! That is looking great so far! Let me know how that works out on plastic canvas, I have been meaning to try making bookmarks that way because I find the fabric gets too thick for a bookmark.

I've found out plastic canvas is not my thing. But that is mostly due to myself using a needle just a little to big, so I had to really pull the needle through every stitch. It kinda hurt...
I do think using plastic makes the bookmark even thicker than when using normal fabric. But it does get much stiffer, which I think is good in a bookmark.
Anyway, I've finished the pictures, but still need to make felt on the back...

Love the frog Suit key Chain, and the bookmark as well!

Thanks! The frog suit is my favourite Mario power!

That's too bad , I quite like plastic canvas mind you I haven't used any of the small mesh stuff yet.
That makes sense. Well I will have to keep experimenting to find a better way.

While I am here, I finished the rest of the chaos emeralds, they just need magnets.

I love how the variegated floss came out on those tetrads!
