Happy Cow

About this pattern

This happy cow is all big green eyes and a bright bubblegum-pink nose, with a daisy and two green leaves tucked in her smile. Chocolate-brown patches, a sky-blue horn and a marigold horn, pink-lined ears and a little tuft of cream hair give her plenty of personality. Butterflies and hearts float around her on a warm cream ground, and the whole panel is framed by a cheerful patchwork border of pink, cherry red, marigold and sky-blue squares inside a bubblegum-pink binding. Only 14 fabrics and large, friendly pieces make it a lovely first applique project.

Every pattern in this shop is my own work, from the first line to the last page. Each one takes time and a lot of care, and I hope that comes through when you stitch it.

About how this was made: The initial design idea was developed with the help of AI tools. I then drew each design by hand as an original vector illustration in Adobe Illustrator and built the pattern myself: the templates, colour placement and sewing instructions. Some listing photos (mockups) were made with the help of AI for presentation purposes only. The pattern files you download are exactly as described in this listing.
