This 7 piece set has everything an aspiring young swashbuckler would need: A treasure chest with a lock that really opens, a pirate sword, a treasure map, a compass, a jewel and a handful of doubloons! Everything except the sword fits inside the chest for tidy storage. The unique but simple construction of the sword makes it very sturdy--it can bend but will bounce right back and won't droop!
You will receive a PDF pattern only, NOT the finished items. The extensive 38 page booklet includes full-scale pattern templates--NO ENLARGING NECESSARY, cutting layouts, easy to follow step-by-step instructions with many full color photos and diagrams and a complete materials list so that if you'd like, you can make the set exactly as shown. Variations are also fun...you can try different colors--make a set for a girl pirate too!
I use wool blend felt for all of my designs and I highly recommend it. Acrylic felt works equally well and is readily found in craft and fabric stores--wool blend is just my personal choice. If you have difficulty sourcing any of the materials--I realize some US sewing terms may be unfamiliar to non-US sewists--please email me for recommendations or clarification.
All items are designed to be entirely hand sewn. This pattern requires approximately 5/8 yard (19" X 36") or 4-12 X 18 sheets of felt for the treasure chest and one 12" X 18" sheet of felt for the sword. The rest can be made using 9" X 12" felt sheets and small remnants. 2/3 yard of Peltex Ultra Firm Sew-In stabilizer is also required but stiffened felt available at fabric and craft stores is a great substitute.
All items are designed to be entirely hand sewn and the project is suitable for intermediate sewists or confident beginning sewists.

This item requires a PDF viewer and prints best on 8 1/2 X 11 letter paper but every effort has been made to assure it prints equally well on A4 paper.
