This is obviously not my first doll, but the first doll I have ever sewn. And, I can’t believe how easy it was. Too easy! I used to make dolls clothes all the time so made the dress out of a piece of doiley I bought for like $1 at the opshop the other day.
The hair …. this video made it easy! And, randomly I just happened to have bought 5 new balls of this colour crochet yarn at an opshop last week for $7, not even knowing what I might use it for. Don’t you love that!
Last day of my mini holiday (Queens Birthday weekend). I have quite a few cross stitches that are finished waiting for me to frame, or make into cushions, book covers … who knows, and so I got started on this little one and just love it. I think the mix of freemotion sewing, fabric and cross-stitch looks perfect.
This is my first journal and I love it! I’ve been watching You Tube tutorials and think they are lovely. I used the denim cut out from my Denim Delight, Decontructed Jacket, and I’ve got to say I’m now hooked on the denim with white freemotion sewing …….love!
I’m thought I was too much of an IT geek to use one as I prefer electronic medium rather than paper, but I could be tempted! And it smells so good…
Then I decided to add a small bag in the pocket at the front…
And why not have a matching pencil case to fit a few pens in…
I’ts a very rainy day here today so perfect for creating in my sewing room 🙂

Oh wow! I love this! It turned out better than I could have imagined. Bought the $6 denim jacked from an opportunity shop with this in mind but didn’t know what fabric I would use. Settled on this white lacy look fabric and then ended up doing the free motion sewing around the cut out edges of the denim. It looks pink because the dress underneath is pink, but it is actually white. Can’t wait to wear it!
Just finished this little emboidery I started a few months ago. One of those things you do on the side when you’ve got a few spare moments. It’s something a little different for me because I didn’t use the sewing machine. But I do love hand sewing. The finished product is only 210mm x 200mm so quite dainty.
One of the things I like is that it isn’t perfect. There are frayed edges and uneven stitches, which is not my natural way of doing things…. but I just love the finished look.
