A Kawaii Kitchen Full Of Cuteness: Bora wins the contest for plushie patterns!

While the plushie pattern contest was full of cuteness, the winning entry came from Dutch designer, and Spoonflower regular, Deborah van de Leijgraaf, also known as Bora. This makes her seventh win, so congratulations are certainly in order. This was a close one! We didn't quite have time to sew up all of the top ten, but we did manage to get a few finished and photographed in time for the email today. Pictured or not, you can still find all of the top ten patterns available for sale:
