[@sherrygrooms3248]

I love all your gnomes. Thank you for sharing your patterns as well. I have a cool idea to share as well. I love using pinking shears to give the coats a cool design. I thought I share that with everyone. Happy gnome making ❤️

[@duanedking8498]

Thank you. I have used pinking shears at time to add more details and character.

Great video! I love love love your gnomes! So cute and your instructions are awesome. I must say mine don't look anything like yours yet but I am learning. Thank you, Duane, so much for making my "stay at home" a much brighter place.

[@blandinemigniere7231]

So cool ! Thanks Duane for this vidéo. Im gonna try it right now for im a gnome addict but was a bit fed up with their "always the same style" . Yours are very different with this victorian look !

HERMOSOS GNOMOS!👏SIEMPRE EN ESPERA DE SUS TUTORIALES!GRACIAS DUANE POR COMPARTIR

[@alteredLori]

Thanks Duane! So very Helpful! I was just wondering could you not make your patterns PDF files so we can download them instead of them coming in the mail? It would be so much easier. Thanks

[@duanedking8498]

For those who do not want to wait for the mail, I can email the patterns and invoice PayPal.

[@diannefrench9550]

Would it be cheaper if you emailed the patterns ....I just ordered basic gnome pattern from you on Etsy ....its a ridiculous price for just mailing a paper pattern ....like $19.and change

[@gayferland3673]

Very impressive video Duane, thank you for sharing!!!! One question... What do I do with the extra mustache, glue down the backing to the coat????? I made mine 1" x 1-1/2" and have alot of backing.

[@duanedking8498]

Depending on the pile of your fur you could just use one piece as the mustache. I use both pieces overlapping in the center to make a longer mustache.

[@walkerdianne32]

Loving all your videos. Just wondering when you use fabric for coats/vests does it fray?

[@duanedking8498]

It all depends on the fabric. Some fabrics I definitely recommend cutting just a little wider to sew or glue a seam. Stiffer fabrics can sometimes be fine as is when glued down.

[@suecollins3333]

lovw your Gnomes. Thank you so much for showing them to us. Your tutorials are amazing. Where do you get your fur.

[@duanedking8498]

Thank you. Most of my faux furs I have order off of Amazon. Occasionally I will find a brown fur that I like at Hobby Lobby.

[@brendalunsford2530]

I love these little guys. I haven’t tried one yet but I will! I looked online for now tied but I can’t find the right ones . Do you have a link as to where you get yours?

[@jacquelynmiller3362]

Have you ever put glasses on a gnome. I want to but not sure how

[@duanedking8498]

I have seen several gnomes with glasses. They are glued just above the nose. Some people add eyes. While others just the glasses.

[@darlenebagwell935]

Do u have a video of the geisha girl. I would love to watch it

[@gaynorspanswick5450]

Hi, these are amazing, what would you do for a female (clothes) gnome to go with a male, please ?. I'm lacking in ideas.

[@duanedking8498]

Greetings. I have done very few female gnomes. You may have to check out some of the other gnome crafters. I would make a skirt and an lacy apron.

[@chrismitchell-kydd2633]

Thanks for all the great ways to make gnomes. Do you make female gnomes at all?

[@duanedking8498]

Thank you. I have only made 2 or 3 female gnomes to date. I am starting to work on more female gnomes but I still need to figure out women’s clothing.

Thank you for this video. I will surely be making a vest and coat. I enjoy making outfits for my gnomes. I’m working on a tall (9”) gnome. I’ll send pics. Currently, I made a Garadener and a Hunter patterned after my brothers-in-law. When they are completed I will send pics of them too. Do you have a video on making the type hat you are using here?

A very popular question. I received the scissors from my wife when I first started crafting. She did not wish did give up her good sewing scissors so she gave me a pair of scissors from a medical kit.

I cut the coat but it doesn't seem like it goes far enough towards the front of the body... Would using the body dimensions make it fit better rather than the dimensions for the coat?

If you would like the coat to come around more than yes I would make it the body dimensions.
