I picked out some fairy body. I'll stuff her and start hair tutorial soon.
This hand piecing project has been just laying low for the past decade, making an appearance every few years. I pulled it out last week for something to do while watching tv and it occurred to me I have so many new prints now that I could add to it. Excited to do that this afternoon.
Another WIP, picking prints for a back to school top for Phoebe.
A captivating gang of 24 huggable, lovable creatures to sew—from classics like Margot, a topsy-turvy doll, and the button-jointed teddy bear Bjorn Bjornson, to irresistible Evelyn, a wool felt inchworm decked out in mod glasses and a kerchief, and Koji, a fiercely cute spiked softie monster. There’s something for everyone here—from kids to grown-ups and from beginning sewers to advanced dollmakers. Published by STC Craft, August, 2010.
i love how you mix vintage with modern prints! the fairy doll’s fabric body is awesome!
Question for you regarding fabric purchasing… when you find a fabric you like but don’t have a set project in mind for it (i.e. you want to add it to your stash), how much of it do you purchase and/or how do you decide how much to purchase (when you don’t have a set project in mind)?? I have little to no stash and would like to have one that is versatile (that I can go to and have lots of options for potential projects)…
where I can buy your fabric prints??
I have some of that alphabet print in the third photo! I love it! Unfortunately, I don’t have enough for a blouse (and my daughter wears uniforms), but I made a marker roll with it (http://thriftathome.blogspot.com/2011/04/accidental-clean-leading-to-marker-roll.html)
I love your hexagons, too. I’m thinking of starting a long term project like that. I get so fidgety when I don’t have handwork.
