Most of the larger ones I have are built on tomato cages. I do plan on sharing the method I've been testing for the larger gnomes next year (I like to test things for stability and durability before sharing them). I'm also trying to limit the number of power tools I use which is why it's taken a bit longer than I like.
No, the pattern is a printable download (Immediately available after purchase). The buttons I ordered from a shop on Etsy (totally different from my pattern)
Oh my goodness, aren't they great? I buy them from a shop on Etsy (this is the best one I've tried so far) who can do them custom for anything you want. rufflesandrainboots.com/go/custom-buttons/
You can try cones - I would use the hat, mitten, and feet from the pattern and place this on a paper maché cone (maybe 7 inches) wrapped in fleece or whatever fabric you're using. :)
Sarah, he is adorable! Thank you for sharing your creativity, ideas, hints, shortcuts and talents with all of us! I am in need of a new sewing machine; may I ask for recommendations?
I love my Brother, only because it's EASY. :) I tell it which stitch to make, type the number, and then it does it (though, honestly, I use the same straight stitch 90% of the time). The (updated machine) link to mine is below.

Val, no worries. They keep changing things around anyway! :) The pattern for this one is here: shop.rufflesandrainboots.com/product/gnome-scandinavian-sweeties/
He was AMAZING!!! Like how do you come up with these patterns??? Did you go to school for something like that? I ask only cuz throughout your tutorials you always say you’ve tested the pattern or worked hard on a pattern so I’m just wondering how you come up with these things....
I draw a lot, so they all get sketched first. :) Then, I just start building and make about three versions to come up with the easiest ways to do something while still getting the look I want. And school? I have two business degrees, so DEFINITELY not using those for this. LOL

This is so cute. I have a sewing machine my husband bought me,but i haven't ever used it. I may test it out trying a cute project like this!
You should try it! I have free patterns in the shop if you want to try sewing on those first.
Too cute
I have seen similar ones that are around 3 ft. Tall that wear dresses, etc. Do you have a pattern for those also?
