Dorothy

So I wanted to make a Wizard of Oz set for yet another Norbert pattern. I found this wonderful pattern for Wicked Witch(which take some time to look at her other lovely patterns! I have loved her work and never had a problem with any of the patterns.), but there wasn’t one for the Scarecrow or Lion. So I based Dorothy off of her pattern to make the set… however, I did goof and forgot to get a picture of just her.  I’ll make up another and get it pictured.

  1. Hi Shelley
    A friend of mine shred these patterns with me and I fell in love with them. I was wondering if you ever thought about making a pattern of Toto? It would make the set complete!. I suppose I could go looking for a pattern but I would love your version.
    Thanks for sharing
    Holly

    • I did and directly linked to her pattern with a go look at all the wonderful patterns…
