New dolly




Oh what a happy morning, I plugged in my old Janome to give her one last try before retiring her to the junk pile (she conked out after being rather over worked a year ago) and to my great delight she worked!


She worked so well in fact that we made this doll together. I forgot how sturdy and strong this machine was, unlike my fancy newer Brother machine, my Janome can sew through thick layers of felt and fabric, her feed dogs are fab. 

After re visiting my Janome my Brother certainly seems a little pants!

Other things I've been doing:

enjoying my new staple gun, recovered my old sewing chair and kitchen pin board

planting lily's in the garden
sanding the kitchen window ledge

pinning (oh pinterest how you inspire and rob me).....spending way to much time dreaming about a life in Holland

stepping on lego...ouch

getting into the x-mss zone

planning a road trip and waiting for january

sewing whenever I can

embroidering my tattoo dolls

daydreaming

Gorgeous cotton & lace skirt with crochet embelishment

9 pretty skirts hanging in a row

I finally knuckled down and made the 9 t-shirts I had been planning on making for weeks now, I'm most happy with them. The pictures I snapped today aren't great but you get an idea of how lovely they are. Bright colours, vintage dollies appliques, thrifted doily's and vintage buttons make these t-shirts unique & special.

I also finished 9 skirts last week each decorated with lace and a variety of doily pockets, crochet or dolly appliques. Many various sizes and pretty fabrics.

I am not sure if I will list them in my madeit store or save them exclusively for my upcoming market stall. I will definitely need to take some better photos before I can list them.

A dolly to fit in your pocket

Little red

A little dolly (less than 15cm tall) I whipped up tonight, I can see these multiplying soon :0 Her hair line needs a bit of loving, apart for that I think she's peachy keen and can't wait to make her some friends :)

Watch this space for more krafty cuts soon x
