This is Avocado,
she is an all - cotton version of the Parsley and Beet pattern and she is looking very pleased with herself as she is the (back) cover girl for the Parsley and Beet pattern.
It dawned on me last week, that I had so many questions about Doctor's flannel when I made the Kinder girls and Boys pattern, that finding or dyeing some wool for your own Parsley and Beets might be a bit of a headache.
So I set about another whole batch of pattern testing to make sure that you could make a 100% cotton version of Parsley and Beet if you want to.
Not only that, I have dyed some flannel and put it in the shop as well.
Now that the photos are took, the patterns are printed, the fabric is dyed, the destructions make sense, the testers have tested, the patterns are folded, and the postage is checked, I might just get back to a bit of sewing........I have a market sneaking up very quickly !

If you are pleased that this pattern has finally seen the light of day, you need to thank Maree. Without her nagging, you might still be waiting.
I promise the Disco Bots will be a bit faster!

What will you come up with next, Jodie?? Parsley and Beet are gorgeous, but I think Avocado is gorgeouser - better not tell any of them though; would hate to upset them. Good luck with the market; hope to catch the last hour after I finish work. Hope all's well in your world.
Very cute indeed, and just to let you know there are too many URLs in the link to your etsy shop!!! I just deleted them away though!!
Avocado is Beautiful, every bit as good as her cousins. Congrats!!
I am sure they will all go like hotcakes.
Congrtulations on another great pattern Jodie. The Doctors Flannel is gorgeous but knowing the patterns work with cotton is great.
PS. Why does "cover girl" sound so sordid??!!
Awww, Avocado is just adorable!! I'll have to give a cotton one a go too! Congrats on a fab pattern Jodie, I'm sure they will sell just as well, if not better, than the Kinder Kids.
Loooooooooooooooooove Avocado!!
You are so clever!
WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!! Super cute! What nagging?? I don't remember any nagging!! (Lucky I've deleted my emails!!!!!) Well done on a super awesome pattern release!! Avocado is so cute too!!!
You know what i love about these ef-a-lents is the little horiziontal stitcheds across their trunks...LOVE!
Nice work Jodie!
I think avocado needs to come and live at the farm...........she would enjoy it here.......she is gorgeous.........I like her more then parsley and beet......
lucky Maree was nagging.........
I love Avocado. Just delicious.
They are so cute, all of them! Great job, Jodie!
Aww Avocado is just gorgeous!
Thought you'd like to know, the Kinder girl I made for Minx recently was made with some soft cream-coloured brushed cotton - possibly Tilda fabric - and it sewed up a dream.
I'll see if I can find any on the internets and send you a link.

Love the cotton version. Pattern writing, dyeing, new ideas - crikey you are organised!
She is just so cute and I adore her dress, that fabric is so pretty.
Avocado is lovely! I can't wait to buy some of your lovely things at the market - they are gorgeous!
You clever little sausage! Isn't she a sweetheart?! What a dear girl she is, and I bet she will be popular too. I'm a bit in awe of your organisation, especially re the market. I'll have to get cracking! xo
Oh my, dear Jodie, I wasn't going to order anything anymore this month, but when I see this, how can I resist? I'm over to your Etsy shop right now.
Congratulations on yet another darling pattern. Avocado is absolutely sweet!!! I used to live in Fallbrook, CA...known for it's Avocado groves...shipped worldwide. I had avocado trees in my backyard so I'm quite fond of them. So I'm loving her name.
Hello Avocado! Congrats on the new pattern Jodie. Totally Awesome xox
Hi Jodie! I’m your new fan! Gosh I love your craft projects and your sense of humor.
And while browsing back to your old entries I found out we both hate buying underwears or is it just brassiere for you, anyways I love you and I’ll be following you from now on, (that sounds wrong) though I may not be able to comment a lot but lest you should know I’ll be on the look out for your amazing works! Thanks for being such an inspiration!
Cheers :)

Whoo-hoo! Thank you! Now that we know how well nagging works. . . when does the turtle pattern become available? LOL!
Hip Hip Hoooooooraaaaaay for nagging bloggy friends!

She's adorable! And didn't the original Parsley and Beet have little rain boots? Or am I imagining things? Where would one find those?
Bring on the Bots!!! Should we start our nagging for those???
Do you work better under pressure? We could all start nagging if it helps ;)
I think Parsley and Beet just made it onto my Christmas wish list!
I love your elephant family so much! Would have to be my favourite soft toy ever. I love Avocado's little dress - too cute. Hope you've printed plenty of patterns as they are going to be a huge hit.
Oh my, Avocado is heavenly. I want one!
All your toys are wonderful! I love the Elephants!
Well I'd 'aveanavacadoortwo'.
hahaha geddit.
Of course, if you don't remember/know that ad campaign I now look like a complete git.
Be still my heart! Just went to the Hogle Zoo (SLC Utah) and saw their 3 month old baby elephant with my little girl. She is so getting this for Christmas!
According to my computer monitor, you have been slicing up avocados to reference JUST the right shade of elephanty green. She's a sweetheart.
Oh she is so sweet and in my favourite colour too!
Just gorgeous-you have a whole menagerie of wonderful patterns now-good on you and good on maree!Have fun getting ready for the market
So sweet!
Hanging out in your 'vege patch' seems significantly more fun than mine.... These are just gorgeous Jodie, well done - again. Peta
So cute...I love that dress.
Have already ordered this pattern - can't wait. If it turns out 1/2 as good as the Kinder Girl I'll be very happy :-)
Love Avocado good luck with the market.
