Christmas in July

This my contribution and what I have made for our Christmas In July meeting at our cloth doll club. Leather thimble kits. Our charity this year is Children in Need. The packaging is recycled cards, pretty little packets. I have made 45 kits. I found the pattern on the internet and this is the link.

 School couch appliques are almost ready to go. They just need a few threads snipped.

 All inspired from the book Cat and Fish.

 This one is for the back of the couch and the others are for the two sides.

 This is a hand puppet, a special request from my son Jonno for his work. this is his boss.

His hair is needle felted in in pure wool mohair. I had a lot of fun with this one, I hope he likes it.

Crafternoons

Sorry, no pictures, we were too busy sewing, but we had a great time making Barbie doll clothes, tracing the pattern onto interfacing and then pinning it onto the fabrics of their choice cutting it all out and sewing them by hand. Looking through my laces, braids, buttons and beads it was like having kids in a candy store, lots of happy chatter and they both went home with things to finish off and patterns for making other clothes too. We had a great day and looking forward to our next meeting. They really want to use the sewing machine but I think that to build up their knowledge and dexterity they need to be able to use the hand tools first. They are really looking forward to the net meeting, Hopefully we should have pictures by then.
