Thank you for adding the SVG file, you are a wonderful business women, you answer all our questions so quickly. I hope you did well selling to the European market. I love what you do and how you help all us crafters.
Thanks, Frances! We are still doing our best to get into more of Europe. It is not easy when we are across the big pond. 🙂
hi lia, is there any chance you would make an svg for this? you have spoiled me with your svgs. Thank you, Fran
We have added an SVG for this project. Happy crafting!
Hello, Lia
I know U can help. Ur pattern for begonia leaf pattern only shows 1 leaf. Is this correct? Thanks, Alice.
Hi Alice!
Thanks for reaching out! We cut seven of the leaves for our plant, but you can make as many as you’d like! The template only shows one, but you’ll cut multiple of them out to create your very own plant.
Oh, this is just great! First, when I saw an image preview, I thought it was natural plant! :)) Thanks for the instructions! Cheers!!
Thank you so much, love hearing comments like this! 🙂
