  5. totally LOVE the urban prairie dress- reminds me of one I had when I was little!

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  13. I have many of your patterns. Most recently made the composition covers. My grandchildren LOVE them as they always have a pen and pencil handy. My sister uses hers for her knitting journal.

  14. I love the style of Indigo Junction patterns.
    I have made several clothing items and my sewing friends ALWAYS ask me “What pattern is that?”

  20. I teach children at the local library to make hand sewn dolls, my pattern is called POCKET PALS, and would love to have the pattern for the yoyo dolls, they would love them.
    Being a senior, I have trouble finding comfortable underwear, and would love that pattern advertised as”unmentionables”.
    Thanks for your generosity.

  22. My dsis just gave me an Indygo Junction pattern for a bag made from blue jeans. She won it in as a door prize and thought it looked to difficult for her meager sewing skills. I think that was just an excuse–she really wants me to make the bag for her. LOL! In fact, the pattern is very clear and easy to follow. I just need to go to some yard sales this weekend and look for jeans.

  24. I was just drooling over these patterns yesterday! I adore the dresses, and I can easily see the aprons becoming part of my growing collection of cute retro aprons. Pick me! I’m just startingout sewing from patterns, as well as learning my way around a sewing machine. Most of my sewing is handsewn reproductions of 18th c. Accessories, so this would be a nice change. Definitely going to buy some patterns either way!

  30. oooh I am in love with the Crossover Carry! I would definitely pick that one if I were the winner. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  43. Why, oh why is this the first time I’m hearing about Indygo patterns? Thanks Craft Gossip for bringing them to my attention. Ps, I love the day to night dress.

  48. I’ve just been to check out Indygo Junction and find an amazing range of patterns. All very individual looking. The zip jewellery is fun.

Time Flies — And Sometimes It Has Wings Made of Vintage Paper and Buttons

Have you ever been to the cuckoo clock shop at Tamborine Mountain? It’s like stepping into another world — a charming, ticking wonderland filled with thousands (yes, literally thousands) of clocks. Some are grand and ornate, others tiny and tucked away like secrets waiting to be discovered. I remember walking through the shop with my kids, completely enchanted by the whirring gears, dancing figurines, and the joyful chorus of chimes. It was one of those places where time feels like it both stops and flies.

That same feeling came flooding back when I stumbled across this adorable craft project from Teawagon Tales called Time Flies. In true vintage style, it’s a whimsical little DIY that combines scraps of fabric, old paper, buttons, and clock faces into sweet butterfly-like creations — a beautiful mashup of memory, imagination, and just plain cuteness.

It reminded me that crafting is a little like walking through that clock shop. Each piece holds a story, a tick of nostalgia, and the joy of noticing small details. You don’t need much — just some leftover fabric, maybe an old book page or two, and a few bits from your button tin. And suddenly you’re creating something that feels like it fluttered out of a fairytale.

So if you’ve got a stash of pretty paper or vintage bits and bobs you’ve been saving for “something special,” this might be the perfect project to give them new life.

Take a look at the full tutorial and soak up some serious inspiration:

And if you ever find yourself near Tamborine Mountain, do yourself a favour — pop into that cuckoo clock shop. It’s pure magic for anyone who knows that time isn’t just measured in minutes, but in memories.
