We were so glad to see how many people enjoyed making our Purl Frog!  One reader sent us a great tip for making this simple project go even faster.  Give it a try! 

This bit of advice comes from Barbara:

Thanks for sharing the pattern for the "amiable amphibians".  They're wonderful.  I have a suggestion rather than a question.  Instead of cutting out the pattern pieces  and then sewing them together, I find it easier to use another method.  Place the two layers of fabric right sides together, then trace the pattern shape onto one layer.  Place a few pins inside [the lines of the shape you traced to hold the layers] together.  Sew the two layers together 1/4  inch inside the drawn line, then cut.  I find I have much more control this way.

 

Check out a pond full of Purl Frogs in their own Purl Frog Flickr Group!  We hope you'll share your frog photos with us, too.
