Softie love

Last week I made these cuties for my shop. They are some new designs I did for softie and are so cute.

Cute softies

 

I love these softies. I made them before Christmas and love the soft colours. Some are available in my shop, some are already in new homes!

Sweet sweet bunny softies

I made a whole lot of different softies the other day, in larger and smaller sizes. They are so sweet! I used soft colours this time round, next time I will do a brighter batch! I also did stuff them as much a usual as i wanted them to soft and cuddly. Of course they were made under Lulu's expert 9 year old supervision!

Cuties

One of my oldest friends came to visit a few weeks ago. It was so much fun and great to catch up. I made these sweet sofites for her kids. Her son named the bear Luigi which I thought was very fitting.

I loved these so much I made some more. Here's the first one!

First time dollie!

This is the first doll I ever made. Thursday I went to a big craft fair in Vicenza and saw some dolls made. I really liked their clothes but not their faces so much. They had interesting hairstyles too so I bought a pattern. I decided yesterday to have a go but had to change the face and did my own spin on the dolls hair and clothes as well. So basically the body is from the pattern, as are the wide legged pants and then my imagination took it from there!

Of course when Lulu saw the doll she claimed it as hers! I thiught the doll might keep me company in my sewing room but apparently no, she's moving into Lulu's room!

I think I may have to work on faces, my husband told me she looks like a scarey witch! Maybe he still had 'sleep' in his eyes this morning when he saw her! Lulu and I think she's sweet but I will admit I need to improve the face for the next one!

I love love love her dress! I used a hand dyed muslin type fabric I bought in Sydney and then I made hand cut flowers with hand dyed felted wool and musling fabric. I stitched a few off cuts together to make her scarf!

Sweet animal softies

Finally I finished off these softies I must have started them a year ago. Hopeless! For one doggy I used a lot of scraps I have and sewed them together as a small patchwor. Very pretty. I will be putting all of them in my shop throughout the day.

A while back Lulu (she's 8) came into my sewing room and did some very sweet softie drawings for me. I decided to make them right away. They are super cute and fun to make, I even made a PDF pattern for one which I'm selling in my shop.

Sarah's Etsy Store

I have just added my first item to my Etsy store. A pattern for my 'School of Fish'. Many people have liked the fish on Flickr and Pinterest so I though it would be a good idea to make a pattern. Hopefully people like it.
