I’ve made a few embroidery patterns for Sew It’s For You’s Etsy shop and we’ve decided to make a new pattern available for download just in time for St. Patrick’s Day. We don’t celebrate St. Patrick’s Day here in the Philippines so I had to ask Julie what the holiday involves. “St. Patrick’s Day is an Irish holiday,” she said. “Loads of 4 leaf clovers, leprechauns, green beer, pots of gold, rainbows, drunk ass people…” O-kay, got it! I wasn’t sure I wanted to draw “drunk ass people” on something that might possibly be embroidered on baby burp cloths, so here’s an adorable, family-friendly St. Patrick’s Day PDF pattern for you, free! You can use it as an embroidery pattern or print it out as a coloring page for your kids (or yourself).

I like the little bear dude a lot (he’s a character I’ve been drawing since my college days– I will have to dig out my early 2002 sketches of him when he looked a lot different from today) so I colored him digitally and turned him into a nice wallpaper also free for download.

Click to download the image above as a desktop wallpaper at the following sizes:
1024 x 768
1280 x 800
1440 x 900
Enjoy!

Oh but some crafter is going to pick this one up and have something special for St. Patty’s Day. This is boss!!! I love it! It’s super cute and very, very, VERY well illustrated! He’s really neat he he he! It’s funny that you said that about my Asian child, cause I hear it all the time. My best friend Lysan says the same of me. I’m african american, but with a very mixed background. My great Grandpa was Chinese. Honestly I just love to people watch!!!! I do it all the time. Since I’m near the city I get to sit in the park and just watch the children play and watch people. I take pictures of people in my head and they come out in my illustrations. Go figure he he he! Have a wonderful day my friend.
