Makeing new stuff

It's been such a busy time in the sewing room lately, not just because it's a busy time for me with markets but because I needed to make something new and a little wild!

Inspiration came while looking through pages of my sketch books, I drew directly onto the calico, matched some colourful scraps of fabric whoa-la some 'Very Odd Dolls' are born !

Stuffed with scraps of fabric from previous projects, saved into containers, vintage buttons, coffee stained and some wild stitching! These guys are about 30cm high and have a nice weight to them not what you get when stuffed with polyfill. there is something quite liberating making dolls without patterns, each one is completely individual and a lot of fun to embellish.
