Snow Globes Circle Skirt

I’m very pleased to share my latest circle skirt appliqué templates, as a special bonus just for Appliqué Aficionado patrons.

Each detailed snow globe has a different seasonal scene, from ice skaters to deer to a snowy village.

I recommend making the appliqué in felt or other non-fraying fabric (I get the premium wool blend felt from paper-and-string.net)

I used felt for the appliqué, white iridescent fine glitter fabric for the 'snow' in the globe, and gold leatherette fabric for the base. Smaller details such as eyes are embroidered with embroidery cotton, and I used sequins and trims to add dimension. Each snow globe is also outlined in vintage clear iridescent sequins for extra sparkle.

If you want to make a slightly simpler version of this skirt, feel free to skip the snow on the trees, and the tiny “preview” of the next snow globe.

I’ve made two versions of the printable templates - one as outline only (for printing and tracing onto freezer paper), and one full colour vector PDF for use with cutting machines. Download the templates on Patreon.

I think I’ve described every one of the patterns I’ve released through my Patreon as my favourite, but there are definitely some I come back to time and again. The #daytripperdress is one - it was among the first patterns I released, and
Another throwback to Madagascar last year and my fishy beach cape. I’ve long been obsessed with the concept of beach capes, which were popular in the 1930s-50s, often made in chenille or terrycloth fabrics. I’ve used this one on beach hol
Throwback to our Madagascar trip last year, and this tropical dream of a pattern, the #waterfalldress from #charmpatterns. Inspired by an original “Polynesian pattern” edition, it works great in a floaty viscose challis like this for the
Another of my favourite patterns is the #mimosadress, which I released last year. I’ve made five versions of it now. I like that the relatively simple silhouette lets a bold print like this shine. It’s also another one that comes together
More views of the #catskillshalterneck bodice (paired with the #sightseeingskirt). It was fun playing with geometry with this stripe fabric! For this version I cut the bodice front on a bias, aligning the grain with the neckline to create the V effec
