Origins is the @twigandtale Storyteller’s theme for June. It was a prompt for me to start and finish a project that involved a special connection with the materials involved. A while ago, a friend gave me a blanket that belonged to her grandparents to make a collared traveller cape for her daughter, and use the leftover material to make something for my daughter. She was looking for another blanket, but at the time it could not be located. Eventually, after that project was completed, the intended blanket was found, and moved into my sewing area, where it sat. Occasionally, it got pushed to a new location in the room, but it essentially sat. With the prompt of this theme, I made the intended traveller cape, and a new bunny Pathfinder for my little one. She was overdue a new Pathfinder, her brothers still fit their Pikachu and Yoda Pathfinders for a second year of wear. The lining was an upcycled sheet, that was sitting next to the blanket in my sewing area and was just the perfect shade of pink. Both items have personalised internal pockets, with their owner’s name embroidered on the pocket. I used the Woodland embroidery for this. I didn’t want to leave my friend out, and although she didn’t want anything made for her, I made a small hot water bottle cover based on the outline of the marine hottie covers. Coming full circle to my origins, the first Pathfinder I made, I photographed in one of the same spots. It’s lovely to see the growth in my own sewing since that moment. Patterns used: @twigandtale Pathfinder, Traveller Cape, Woodland Embroidery and Marine Hottie Cover (base pieces). #ttstorytellers #tttravellercape #ttpathfindervest #tthottiecovers #sewyourstory

Probably the cutest thing i sewn in a long time.. and sewing this was really a joy from beginning to end.. and a nice way to get rid of some of those left overs in my scrap-pile.. this is the schollenrucksack by @vonlangehand and more gray one is called bob. He found a new home at oma and opa.. they live near the see, so he is happy. The other one is called Botje.. and he will remain in our chaos ridden household.. probably being stuffed with sportsclothes and swimming attire.. so i his life will probably a little shorter but very full-filled (pun intended) So here is to botje and bob! (the kids even have composed a song about them..)(a very groovy song, you can dance to it pretty well) both coats of the kids are the #ttpathfindervest and the #ttpixiepeacoat by @twigandtale both with the animal add-on. the pink woolen bunny coat, is actually having his 3th!!! season of wearing!!! #vonlangehand #nähenfürkinder #taschennähen #sewingforkids #nähenmachtglücklich

Progress report: Jameso's red cord vest completed without a hitch. Second blue blanket one not so smooth..could not live with the mismatched lines 🤦‍♀️so started again. Both vests are @twigandtale pathfinder pattern Size 2 with my favourite @kylieandthemachine label. #ttpathfindervest #twigandtale #kidsclothes #upcycledblankets #labelsbykatm #nanamadeit

I recently made this custom @twigandtale #pathfindervest for a new babe with a Lord of the Rings inspired name 🍃 Crafted from upcycled linen pants and shirt in shades of green, with leaf clasp stitched using wool blanket off cuts. #ttpathfindervest

Oh we love getting to see your favourite stories come to life here on our socials! Thinking back on some fun storybook costumes we've seen over the years, I was reminded of this one by @little_wild_creative - she adapted the Wings techniques to her own creative vision and paired them with a Pathfinder Vest to transform her little one into one adorable Very Hungry Caterpillar. 🦋🥝🍓🍎🌿 Are you sewing to bring new characters to life for World Book Day, Carnival, Renaissance Faires, or any other occasions right now? (Based on a character by @officialericcarle in the storybook The Very Hungry Caterpillar)

My little middle-earthlings in their wool @twigandtale pathfinder vests 🧝🧝🏼‍♀️🪄🍄 Merry Christmas to all! #ttpathfindervest #homemade #

Echt december! We trokken lootjes voor Sinterklaas en ik mocht iets maken voor @beeldendknutselaar 🥰 Het werd een #ttpathfindervest in lieve wijze grijze grootmoeder kleuren. Verder nog echte eindejaars dingen gemaakt in de keuken. Ik ben een grote fan van het kookboek 'taart Ende koeck', ik maakte ontbijtkoek, linzer koekjes en gehaktbrood (met geroosterde wintergroente). Het vegan gehaktbrood van kapucijners maak ik vaker, het is echt een aanrader!!

I'm so happy that my customers love their handmade coats 🥰 The full range of children's coats and vests are in my Etsy Shop.

The start of a whimsical little wool vest for Josey. I’m part of the Twig + Tale Storytellers team this year and my first project from their collection is this Pathfinder Vest. I originally had a different plan for it, wanting to add the pixie hood option, but since I only had a little bit of thrifted fabric I changed course and kept it simple. When I started this one I was thinking of it as a sort of wearable mock-up, but now that I’ve added the ladybugs I just love it so much 🐞#TTStorytellers #TTPathfinderVest #SewYourStory

Peek-a-boo...I see you little Dragon! Want a free way to spark new excitement with your Twig + Tale patterns? The Dragon Add-on is just the thing you need! It includes the features to turn your favourite T+T Animal pattern into a sweet (not scary!) Dragon, such as wee wings, delightful elongated ears, and darling rounded spikes. @dearest.russells paired it here with the Pathfinder Vest + Animal Add-on to make this little cutie. But the options don't end there - what would you add it to? Find the Dragon Add-on, as well as a variety of patterns to pair it with, in the pattern shop at www.twigandtale.com (link in bio)

Really enjoyed making my Twig and Tale Pathfinder vest. I added some embroidery to the pockets and used an old wooden skirt as the lining. I found the pattern easy to use and am really happy with how it turned out. As a Twig and Tale storyteller I received the pattern for free to make and share my experience. All opinions are my own. #TTStorytellers, #ttpathfindervest, #SewYourStory

Making a wish for a wonderful week for you! xx Darling little Pathfinder Vest by @yutsiepop

A flower vest for this little flower - nothing better to wear to the nursery for an early season garden trip! I fell in love with this fabric when I saw it and managed to snag half a meter on sale. It was awful to work with but I love the look of it 🤦🏻‍♀️ Combined with some corduroy scraps and broadcloth plus a very helpful walking foot, my vision for this vest came together really nicely.

Gorgeous vintage floral for this cute little gilet. 🌸🌸🌸 This fabulous cotton print, probably from the 60’s or 70’s was very kindly given to me recently. It was originally a dress & I love the colours! 🩵💚🩵💚🩵💚 Gilets are perfect for little ones in changeable Spring weather, they add an extra layer of warmth without feeling too bulky. This one is lined in a turquoise brushed cotton (also repurposed) & I’ve added a thin layer of cotton wadding in between to give the waistcoat a slightly puffy look. The on trend ties allow a bit of size adjustment as well as looking pretty 🤩 This one is a completely unique piece in size 6-12m (although is roomy so will last longer than that with the ties) & available now in my Etsy store. I’ll gradually be adding more in other sizes & prints over the next couple of weeks but you can always message me for a custom make 😊

I am all Ga Ga for this beautiful Size 6 Vest. I had a vision and a checklist. Simple. Pretty. Vintage. Bow. The bow was important. The little girl I made it for likes doilies so that was important too. This Vest is not for sale as its a birthday gift for a very special girl turning 6 very soon. So many people have sent me messages about this Vest. So I am dreaming up other variations and am excited to see them evolve. Stay tuned. And Miss Aurora ... this little Vest will be in the mail next week and shall reach you just in time for your very special day 🤍 keep your eye on the mailbox ok !!! #handmadewithlove #birthdayfun #handmadevintage #recyclereusereduce #ttpathfindervest #makingmemories #oneofakind #wintervest

I received a lot of beautiful photos today. It prompted me to post about my vests. Vests are so perfect for layering and you can keep adding layers, many many layers. Styling here is all by my lovely customer and Mum… Morgan. Morgan now has many of my vests and coats for her little man, he has been wearing them since he was a baby. It’s so lovely to see my customers grow and it’s amazing to see how long they can wear the Pathfinder Vests for. Big armholes and an extended length curved back means they can fit for several years. A robust wardrobe staple that just keeps giving, unlike fast fashion from our retail stores. These are one of a kind and great value. Even better if made from a family blanket. If you have a special blanket and would like something made from it just send me a message and we can discuss your options and the blankets suitability.

Makes sense that my first post here should be the make that started it all. I learned to sew on my mother’s lap as a child, and I dabbled as a teen and young adult, but sewing this dragon costume for my son came at a time when I really needed that connection to my past and it ignited a new depth of excitement for sewing, creating and learning new techniques. This little dragon pathfinder has been on so many adventures over the last (almost) four years of wear between two kids and it still looks great! Their favourite parts are quietly growling & breathing fire at strangers, or laughing at all the poor pups’ surprised reaction to seeing this bright little dragon out on the trails. 🐉 ❤️ 🧵 Pattern: Twig+Tale Pathfinder Fabric: upcycled army surplus wool blanket exterior, flannel scraps for lining New skill: using wool (turns out it’s my new favourite medium!), managing many thick layers, making a yarn mane 2021 #TTPathfinderVest #SewingJournal #mamamade

Three times the Animal Vests...three times the fun! Such a sweet trio of fox Pathfinders by @yutsiepop

I just realised I never gave these Vests their own space on my Feed. A special order done last year in time for Christmas... made from great Grandmas heirloom blankets for ballerina loving sisters. I love this kind of work.... reworking a family blanket into wearable garments for the next generations.

Spring blooms make the perfect photo backdrop! My daughter is rocking the #TTPathfinderVest I recently sewed—made with fluffy scrap fabric from my stash and a fun, mismatched cotton lining. I love how sewing lets you personalize every little detail! Label: sewing day score from @goedkopestoffen_com Snap buttons: @actionnederland (a must-have—I use them all the time!) And of course, a handy hanging loop! #TTStorytellers #TwigAndTale

It's so fulfilling to be able to foster their curiosity of the natural world - and what better way, than to use your sewing skills make sure they are cosy as they explore! @ashleygeneralhandmade certainly did so for her little one with this darling wool Pathfinder Vest, complete with wee embroidered ladybirds. Perfectly warm and toasty for adventures! Pathfinder is a fan-favourite for its versatility, especially during the "shoulder seasons" of spring and autumn when a coat is a bit too much - and fortunately, it sews up so quick, you can still easily prepare one for anyone in the family.

My first project as a part of the Twig + Tale Storytellers is a Pathfinder Vest for Josey. We went out to take some photos this morning and it was such a magical little walk in the woods 🌿 I made this vest out of a thrifted wool skirt, wool batting, and a cotton lining. There’s something so sweet about little bugs on toddlers clothes, I’m obsessed! #TTStorytellers #TTPathfinderVest #SewYourStory

Its always exciting to get photos of my Coats and Vests in the Wild. These two recent makes are living their best life with their new little owners on the other side of the world in faraway New Delhi. A very special custom request from my childhood friend ... made using their family blankets. Arent they just the sweetest little sisters ! Thank you Tiana for sending in these beautiful photos and also for allowing me to share. It was such a pleasure to make these for a dear friends most precious ones. #ttpathfindervest #matchingoutfits #blanketcoat #familytreasures #vintageblanket #madetomatch #handmadeinoz #familyheirloom

While I’ve made a dozen or so Pathfinder vests, I’ve never made one for myself until now! I used black cuddly fabric leftover after making a Pixie Pea coat a few years ago.

A quick @twigandtale Pathfinder vest for a little friends' 4th birthday. Corduroy + pixie hood + pompom is my absolute fav combo on these vests. Adds such a cozy feel to them.

The wings are the well loved @twigandtale Dragon Wings and I accompanied that with a @twigandtale Pathfinder Vest using the Animal Add-on.

My little rainbow lizard's first Halloween! I let big brother (who is 3) choose costumes this year for him and baby brother and he instantly started thinking dinosaurs and lizards—a perfect choice for me as I've been ready and waiting with the Twig and Tale Pathfinder Vest pattern for ages! I used the dinosaur elements from the animal add-on pack and made only a few modifications, including a detachable tail.

Misty mornings lead into bright sunny days ....we start our evening walk just as the sun begins to set.

Christmas Day! Presents, food, Lego, Doctor Who. Dragon waistcoat is #ttpathfindervest by @twigandtale with the #ttdragonaddon. He loves it 😁

love that @twigandtale’s playful patterns don’t end with kids sizes. I made a whole family of animal vests (bunny, dog, bear and ladybug) as part of the Sew & Show team. These came together so beautifully. I used flannel for the outer, quilting cotton for the lining and a cotton batting between the layers for a bit of extra thickness. #ttpathfindervest #ttpathfindercelebration #ttanimalvest #ttanimaladdon #twigandtale #twigandtalepatterns

Taking pictures of my finished work - though I love it, and wouldn't skip it - is always the hardest part in sewing for me. In my flat the light is most of the time not good enough for taking pictures - or there simply is not enough "daylight" time for this task. Sewing can easily be done in the evenings - but taking good pictures is out of the question! So I usually take pictures during "everyday life": at the playground after daycare, at weekends at my mother's place or while we are outside on an excursion. And have you ever tried taking photos of the details of a garment while worn by an 18 month old child...? If I catch one picture that is not completely blurred, I call myself lucky. So it usually takes some time until I can show off the clothes I made. This one was finished two months ago. And it is the pattern that made me start sewing again after a break of over one year. It is just ridiculously cute! I love it! But sadly this little dragon here does not wear it very very often, because the hood is a bit too heavy. I used a whole ball (50g) of wool, which turned out to be too much. And of course thick woolen clothes are not the best choice at the moment, as the temperature climbs to 30 degrees these days in Vienna... So maybe it gets a second chance in fall - there is still some room for the little dragon to grow into this woolen skin.

Some snapshots of the Foxie vests—aren’t they just adorable?! After making three (!!) of them, I’ve realized that sewing a pattern three times is the magic number. By the third round, you truly get to enjoy the process, know each step by heart, and add all the little details you want—without constantly unpicking seams 🙈. Each vest has its own personality, thanks to different labels and patches. But my absolute favorite detail is the removable tails! I attached them with snap buttons from @actionnederland , and honestly, those little snaps are game-changers—I use them on everything. Special shout-out to the beautiful flower label from @intenselydistracted. It’s such a unique and thoughtful touch! I was making these vests during snowdrop season, so incorporating that little detail felt extra special. The iron-on patches are from HEMA, and the other labels are from @intenselydistracted and @kylieandthemachine.

When you think "Twig + Tale" - which pattern do you picture? For many, it was cosy Pathfinder Vests that first drew them in, and introduced them to the whimsy that could be a part of their sewing world. So, it's always so fun to see new Pathfinders come across our feeds over time, and make us feel that same early wonder all over again! I love this one by @craftingwithlisareid, featuring one of our earliest embroidery patterns as well - reminiscent of some of those early Pathfinders! The fluffy Dandelions look so beautiful adorning the pockets of such a delightful vest. If you'd like to make your own, Pathfinder is available in sizes for everyone - from wee babes, through both of our full adult size ranges. Find them in the pattern shop (and even save with a bundle discount!) Link in bio
