Nienke of Nosey Nest has come up with a super idea for a series of sewing patterns, and she’s sharing that idea with us today! Rather than paraphrase, we’ll let her explain the series:

“Have you ever been afraid of the dark when you were a kid; of critters under your bed, squeaking stairs and shadows on the wall? So frightened you couldn’t fall asleep, woke up at night or didn’t want your parents to leave you before they’d checked under your bed a thousand times?

Did you ever suspect that these so-called scary creatures aren’t that scary after all? That you even could become friends with these monsters?

Nosey Nest introduces the first two in a downloadable pattern series about children’s fears.”

First up is Mini-Monster Manfred:

Second is The Daring Dragon:

Both patterns are downloadable PDFs that are available through the Nosey Nest’s blog.
