CLOTH DOLLS
I have wanted to make dolls for a very long time! There are baskets housing sad half finished dolls of every shape and size at my work desk.
After giving up for several months I woke up one morning with a design in my head, 12 hours later I had made my first ever dolly (the young lady in the orange dress above). I am sure over the months to come they will evolve many times but as I am happy with what I have at the moment I shall try to make as many as I can!!
Clothes really are my weak point..I find it very difficult to get my head round the patterns as I have yet to find any pre designed ones. Experimentation is the key at the moment and I am having fun figuring out how to make tiny jackets and shrugs.
These will soon be available as commissions on my Etsy shop and I will be taking orders (hopefully) at The Fibre Festival on the 4th May in Chipping Norton Town Hall.

Love Hearts
A more rustic version the previous hearts. I have had a stamp kit for years and only used it for name tags on Christmas presents, I never thought to use them on fabric but they work really well!
They can be found in my Etsy shop here:

Happy hearts
I have an abundance of lovely fabric and it was sad seeing it just lying there in my fabric chest! The possibilities with word, colour and fabric combinations with these hearts is almost endless and its a great way to use up odds and ends.

Happy New Year everyone!

Queen of Bears
Making tiny accessories is fiddly but fun. What could be better accessories for a little bear than a golden crown and a string of pearls!

Bumble Bee
Strong colours are what babies can see best in the first few weeks after birth so I made this little bee for our new niece Bea. It's very simple but that is what gives it its cuteness. I am thinking a few bees and flowers strung up as a mobile might be on the cards and as I was given a lovely new journal for Christmas then I'd better use it for my designs!
You can but a bee here:

Teddy Bear Brooches
Little bears. Loads of colour options again, I am
thinking of changing the design slightly though.
These seem to sell better than anything else I have
made so far! The original design is by Ginger Melon
and although I love them I think I need to simplify
their head design...hhmm we will see what happens.

Bride and Groom Brooches
I made these for my Uncle and Auntie who got married
recently, they had ivory and maroon as their wedding
colours so I used them in the design. They can be customized
to any wedding theme. This is the new bear head design,
I think it works well and is much easier and faster to sew!
If you really wanted to go cutsie they can be used as button holes :)

Dolly Head Brooches
These cute little dolly head brooches are an old
design that I re discovered. They have merino
tops for hair which comes in a huge variety of
colours and is really fun to work with. My favorite
is the one with the blue hair <3
I may venture out one day and make full dollies!
