Charity Makes for 2011

25 pairs of wings have been cut out. I am changing the pattern because i was worried about little bits possibly being chewed. So, to adapt it for my purpose I am going to sew the wings directly onto the body. I have ironed on interfacing first to stabilize the fabric and then cut them out.

25 Little Bird bodies sewn. I have used safety eyes on most of them. Sewing the wings today. Hopefully i will get my hands on some stuffing soon. This woolen fabric is a dream to work with, lovely and soft and easy to cut.

Charity Makes for 2011

I have been busy drawing out and sewing and cutting some Trauma dolls this morning, Tilli, less than clean, (luckily it is just on her back) decided that i should stop and give her some attention.
Half an hour later she decided that she had had enough and is now cleaning herself in the sun.
This months dolls are all cut out, 11 have been stuffed and 12 will be taken to doll club to be stuffed.

Woolen Fabric

Look what arrived at my front door this morning, A wonderful parcel of woolen fabric from Jodie Carleton of Ric-Rac http://vintagericrac.blogspot.com/
The pure joy of opening a parcel was so much fun for me you cannot imagine! I will be making for charity Jodie's delightful free pattern Little Birds with this fabric, and they will go under the K.Mart Wishing Tree this year along with the baby clothes and blankets as a package.
This fabric is delightfully soft and warm and will make the most wonderful little toys.
