Say hello to Happy the Yo-Yo Clown, the cheerful little ringmaster of your scrap pile. This playful sewing pattern turns fabric leftovers into a smiling, button-bright clown with a personality big enough to steal the spotlight and a wardrobe busy enough to make your sewing machine grin. It’s a merry way to stitch up a keepsake that’s equal parts charm, color, and cotton-candy whimsy.
