As you know, I recently started publishing my own patterns. The most popular of these by far has been the Sit Me Up Donut, modelled here by my gorgeous girl Emma.
When I made this pattern I always had the intention of making a round cushion to fit inside it, so that as your kids grow they can still use the donut, So today I got busy and made up my insert and even got time to write the pattern too! (wonders will never cease) :)
I got the cushion finished this morning and each child who has walked into my house today has headed straight for it. :) Jack had a great time 'reading', I didn't have the heart to tell him the book was upside down hahaha.
Anyway as a thank you to all the amazing people who have bought my patterns I have put together a free PDF Tutorial for you, you can download it from here.
Just to let you know my insert looks a bit bigger than the donut. This is because the stuffing in the donut has compressed a bit from everyday use, the insert will level out too over time and will be even with the top of the donut.
I'll be putting together some of the pictures that I have been sent of others donuts too, so if you have already made one, please send me a picture I love looking at each and every one!
My blog is also getting a bit of an overhawl in the next few days, so please come back often :)

ReplyDeleteLOL, OOPSIE! Ok I see now that I will need to purchase the donut patt to go with the insert. Blonde moment! :) Still absolutely LOVE it!

Hi Paula, I recently purchased the sit me up donut pattern and wanted to download the insert. However I cannot find the PDF. Can you direct me to the patten?
ReplyDeleteI also bought the pattern for the donut but can not find the insert pillow anywhere. All the links to the pattern are broken. Can you please tell me how to find the pattern for the insert and update the posts? It is 2022 and the PINS are still showing up in Pinterest!
ReplyDeleteI purchased your Sit me up Donut pattern years ago at your shop at Nimmitabel. Finally made the donut and love it. Granddaughter will soon need the insert. I'd love your insert pattern but unable to access through the broken links! Leonie 12 August 2022
ReplyDeleteI am unable to download this pattern , if anyone can shed some light how to do that. I would love to make it so as to comply with standards and be safe for our little people. Thanks
