DOLL,GIRLY BAG,HEART,BUTTERFLY,JASMIN

Hand made rag doll..last one left....embroidered face...little felt shoes that tie like ballet shoes..stripy tights and a pinafore drees with a pocket and flower.....cute.

An unlined bag with poodles, hand bags and roses......the fabric made me laugh....great for grown up girls or little girls.....I keep tights in mine.

Another heart cushion...I have just sold a deep red one...I think they are great for pining brooches on......or amongst other cushions on a bed......Lovely soft navy-blue velvet...very tactile.


Another butterfly cushion ...each one is different....I never repeat anything exactly, its good to know that no one else has one the same.....unlike shop bought items.

I have hand painted and quilted the front ,and added machine embroidery.


JASMIN

Jasmin is definitely an angel.....love her...love her...love her.......

HEART,PURPLE HAT,ANGEL,PATCHWORK HAT,FAIRY BAG

Sorry not a good photo! I have made a number of little hanging hearts. This one gos perfectly with my kitchen......pride of place hanging on the knob of my pine cupboard.

Lovely dusky purple hat made from curtain weight fabric. It is made from my own pattern, fully lined and stiffened with interfacing.The size is small to medium. I machine appliqued a purple flower just to the side of the front, it picks out the colour in the hat. It is machine washable,although I would wash it by hand and peg it out.


This is the last of a batch of angels which I made from bits of left over fabric that I printed.

She has a hand embroidered face, torn strips of fabric for hair and holds a little stuffed heart.

These were very fiddly to make, I have to be in that sort of mood as it involves a lot of hand sewing.


I only made a few hats with this pattern as it is made in panels, I prefer my other pattern it is quicker to make.

I used lovely coordinating floral fabrics so that it is patchwork.

The size is medium to large, fully lined and stiffened with interfacing.

The last of the fairy bags, I may make some similar ones at some point. I drew and painted the fairy, then transfere printed it onto the bag.

The bag is un-lined in strong pale green cotton with bright pink handles to match the fairy.

Lovely for a girl to store things in or take shopping.

BAGS, BUTTERFLIES, FISH, HAT,HEARTS,HOME

My latest makes..................
Hand made bag, fully lined with velcro fastening in a shiny pearly fabric.

I used the same pattern......my own .......for this bag. The fabric is delicate with a pearly sheen.

I have about four of these left.

Traditional chinz fabric, what coukd be more English! However I changed the boring cream background by hand colouring it mauve with fabric paint. The hat fits me perfectly, I have a large head......all those brains you see........so remember the hat is large.

The hat is fully lined, the bag lined with mauve gingham.....pretty.

Hanging hearts made from Laura Ashley fabric. Lovely pressy for a baby or anyone who likes pretty things.

Bless our home......I hand printed the fabric for this cushion,there is only one of them.

I appliqued on the house and embroidered the details. The back has an envelope opening and the cushion comes with the inner pad.

My latest design. I hand printed the butterfly, added details by hand,then quilted it.
The cushion is stuffed with polyester, it is washable. I personaly would wipe it with a damp cloth, and wash it carefully by hand and hang it out on a hot day.
I have printed several but only finnished two, so later on there will be more in other colours.

This is mine! It measures 27" by 18".

I used loads of my favorite scrappy bits. The main fabric and flowers a original 70s fabric, I only have a few bits which I adore. I keep bidding for 70s fabric on e.bay but always get out bid at the last minute......don't you just hate that....it's so sneeky!

Another butterfy cushion.


A fish I cut from mdf some time ago. I paintd it with acrylic and stuck on shiny silver paper and pinched my son Charlies glitter glue for details. I love glitter glue...in fact I have used it up....umm....must get more before he finds out!

A large flower pot I have just finnished...a design I based on retro scandinavian fabric....I am so into it at the moment! I will post another photo when it stops raining and I can plant it up.
