Is all your work done freehand or do you use a graphics program to draw out your patterns?Īll of my patterns are drawn out freehand on a artists sketch pad. But I do enjoy stitching, punch needle, painting and working with clay. I have been sewing and crafting for 20 years but have only been creating patterns for about 4 years. How long have you been creating primitive and folkart patterns? Now I design everything from whimsical to extreme prim. I would sand those dolls till the stuffing showed.thus the name "Threadbare Primitives". Well, when I started this business I did alot of extreme prim.which I love. How did you come up with the name Threadbare Primitives? With the economy being a little tight I figured anyone can afford $4.99 for a pattern and not have to worry about spending the money.
The latest thing I have added is my $4.99 epattern section. It has gone through many changes in those years and I am constantly updating it to keep it new and interesting. I have been online with my website for about 4 years now. How long have you had your online shoppe? I love to cook, read, go to auctions, and take care of my animals. I live in a beautiful old 85 year old farmhouse on 2 acres surrounded by trees, squirrels, and every kind of critter. My husband and I also run a cat rescue center on our property for unwanted or abused cats. I guess you could say I am an animal lover. These are my kids and I spoil them rotten every waking moment. I have three "indoor" cats.Jinx, Chadwic, and Porter and one tiny four pound Chihuahua named Baxter. I am 49 years old and have been married for 28 years. Please tell us a little bit about yourself I replaced the bulb that came with the candle with a silicone coated bulb. Then filled the candle pan with scented rosehips. I tied a strip of homespun around the base of the candle and attched some red pip berries. I tried hot glue and didn't like the results. I purchased a fluted candle pan and glued the candle to that with clear Liquid nails. Once dried, I painted with another coat of Mod Podge to seal the coffee mixture. When that was dried, I would paint on some more Mod Podge sporatically and 'drizzle' more cinnamon over that. When it dried, I painted it with Mod Podge and then rolled it into a mixture of instant coffee, real coffee grounds, ground cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. I took some sandpaper and sanded down the candle, then painted it with brown acrylic paint. Sometimes you can find them at dollar stores too. I picked up some old electric candles at yard sales and flea markets. These grubby candles are fun to make! This is one of the first ones I made a few years back.
