Our gable roof design features a dormer style window extending from the sloped side. The door is directly below the gable, making the sloped side the front of the house. It includes templates for hearts and diamonds to add to the sides and an additional template for an octagonal window.

The "Gable" adds a Victorian flare, though it does require a little more work, it's worth the extra time.

Add a little table, chairs, some cookies, Battenburg tablecloth, and it is all set up for the perfect little tea party.

All the Grandma's House Patterns were inspired by Stephanie's original house her Grandmother made, 18 years ago. The house patterns feature a sloped roof, batted shingles, flowers, grass 'landscaping' and cottage style trim.

Each has removable curtains with drawback ties, which make changing the inside decor a snap.

Also added a picket fence, window boxes with batted flowers and a little caterpillar.

All houses were designed so basic sewing skills, a standard machine and iron are all that would be needed. No special tools or materials are needed for the frame.

All of the patterns include complete sewing instructions, illustrations, templates, 'PVC' plans and materials list.

The house may be removed from the frame and is meant to be machine washable. The house and frame can be taken down and put back together easily.

PVC Frame   

Complete instructions for building a frame from PVC tubing are included in each of the patterns.  When built to the plans , the frame can be taken apart and stored flat. The largest glued section is about 40" square.     

The PVC pipe is simple to cut using inexpensive tools.  There are no special techniques or equipment needed.  The joints are 'glued' using the solvent bought at the same place as the pipe and fittings.  All the fittings are standard and should be available at any hardware store.
