New Pattern: The Highland Avenue House

Patterns· Shop

It’s so exciting to release new patterns! I just love seeing how you all take my patterns and create your own beautiful projects.

This is the Highland Avenue House pillow. I had a lot of fun designing this pattern and I hope you enjoy sewing it!

Highland Avenue House Pillow Pattern | Radiant Home Studio

Let me tell you a little bit about my inspiration for this pattern. I designed this house with the historic homes on Highland Avenue in Rochester, NY in mind. In 6th grade, our art teacher took us on an architectural tour through the city. Rochester is filled with amazing old homes that are bursting with character—everything from turn of the century farmhouses to mid-century Frank Lloyd Wright homes. My parents also love historic homes and often stopped to look at open houses around the city “just for fun”. Though I no longer live there, I never lost my appreciation for the beautiful homes and architecture in the city.

I think the Highland Avenue House pillow is sophisticated enough for your living room and fun enough for your kids’ rooms. The scalloped roof tiles add depth and texture, while also providing a place for you allow to experiment with different fabric combinations. Solid fabrics allow the beautiful lines of the pattern to shine, but it also looks great with coordinating fabric prints. It’s perfect for using up smaller pieces of fabric from your stash.

The pillow is fairly easy, so I have labeled it as “advanced beginner”. Sometimes these skill labels are confusing, so I have also given a list of a few basic skills that you should be ready to try. You’ll need to be comfortable sewing curves, willing to try installing a zipper, and ready to learn basic appliqué. If you have sewn a few items from patterns before, I think you’ll be ready to sew the Highland Avenue House.

For size reference, here’s my 2 yr. old with the pillow!

Here are a few of the tester versions for inspiration:

    Really cute, ha! I didn’t realise it was so large until I saw the little boy carrying it.

    Congratulations on getting the pattern together and onto the market. I really love this cushion and you did a great job with the design.

Instagram post 2195172816769213754_232207174 Need a quick handmade gift? I just decided to run a sale on the North Pond Notebook cover pattern because it’s one of my favorite gift patterns!

The pattern includes printable pieces for composition notebook and journal sized covers, plus instructions for adjusting the size.

It looks awesome in lightweight waxed canvas or in your favorite floral. Click the profile link and then shop sewing patterns to find it.
Instagram post 2191506267319459831_232207174 These patterns for the #christmasartchallenge are for “snow” & “red”. The plaid ended up more pink than red for color balance, but I’m loving how this collection is coming together!

What do you think...festive notepads?

Thanks for organizing this @smcnabstudio 😊

Instagram post 2190280279549834279_232207174 Today’s prompt for the #christmasartcountdown with @smcnabstudio is “light”. I’m normally a white lights girl, but for a festive Christmas design I thought some retro colored lights would be fun!

I even made a gift wrap mock-up and coordinating ribbon design. What do you think...would you use gift wrap like this?

Instagram post 2190116868090358075_232207174 I’m participating in @smcnabstudio ‘s #christmasartcountdown this year. 
Yesterday’s prompt was “jolly”. I initially thought “tis the season to be jolly”, but ended up using another line from Deck the Halls for this design.

May your homes be filled with joyous song!

Instagram post 2186548202094497241_232207174 We’re stuck inside with the rain today, but we’re hoping for some nice weather this weekend. One of Thanksgiving traditions is a family hike!

Time in nature and away from the screens always provides inspiration and motivation to be creative.

Instagram post 2164095073994453782_232207174 I finally designed my own phone case!

This is my 3rd case from @society6 but I have always loved designs from other designers better than anything I designed myself. (The latest two were both from @patbravodesign 💕) This time I used one of my own designs and it just makes me happy. 😊 I know I have really found my signature style this year and I’m hoping to find time to put together a full surface design portfolio by the end of this year. And maybe a fabric collection someday...for my sewing friends 🙌🏻 #society6 #surfacepatterndesigner
Instagram post 2141433828682452245_232207174 I’ve been sketching a lot of bouquets lately, including the one in the pattern in my last post. This little bouquet seemed right for a housewarming card!

Do you still give paper cards to people? I haven’t as much since I got busy with little kids, but sending cards is a practice I’d love to add back in my life.

It seems like the gesture might mean even more to people now that it is more rare to get a handwritten note. 📝
