E-Book byGesa Rocket, english Item nr.: BG-021

The idea to sew a rocket came to me spontaneously after a visit to IKEA. In the children's section, I saw many cute decorative items, but unfortunately, they often looked cheap and were not sustainably made. This inspired me to sew a rocket myself – something unique that would also last a long time. Initially, I wanted to sew a UFO, but the idea of the rocket just stuck with me. After several attempts, I realized that it wasnʼt as easy as I had imagined. The first designs were too complicated, and I wanted to create a project that anyone could replicate. So, I opted for a minimalist design that still includes all the essential details. The result is a simple, yet creative rocket that you can customize as you like.

You can beautifully implement the details of the rocket with appliques. Unleash your creativity by using embroidered patches, glow-in-the-dark thread, or even luminescent paint. Thanks to its sturdy construction, the rocket can stand on its own – this was particularly important to me as it can be used not only for playing but also as a decorative pillow.

Sewing the rocket can be a bit tricky in some places, so itʼs better suited for sewers with some experience. If you're not very familiar with appliques, I offer a separate tutorial that shows all the basics. This makes the rocket a great project for those who are looking for a challenge and want to let their creativity run wild.
