Mail from Our Readers: Applique Improvisation

We receive quite a bit of emails from our readers - many politely reminding us of all the things that we've promised to feature on our website. We take heed of all of them but some designs and patterns are just more anticipated than others...

Here's what Melissa wrote us:

"Dear Ottobre,

I know you are all very busy, but could you please try to update the "Print for Free" section of the website? I would really love to have that Dachshund applique (01/10) pattern for my sewing. As you can see, my method of drawing that design has not been entirely successful..."

Thanks to Melissa and Rosie the dachshund for being such good sports and letting us publish their photo. Your email just melted our hearts, and Peppi, our little helper, sends her regards too.
