Latest Make

I've just finished this dolly for my daughter's birthday, she likes gardening.



I have a huge amount of fat quarters and some patterns from the charity shop, during Lockdown I've been trying to use some up.

Wow Tess, love that! Really different - well done!

Oh yes, I'd love to know how you made her too.

I remember all those wonderful hats you used do for the Steampunk do's.
That doll is a great piece of creative work too, you never lost the touch Twiz.

By the way, what are fat quarters? Can one get them at the butchers?

Re: Latest Make

Thanks chums, she was simple to make, two pieces of dowel with a cotton cloth head. A bit of fake hair. The clothes are made from simple rectangles of cotton fabric (Aldi fat quarters), hands and feet wooden beads. Wooden heart shape for base. All sewn and glued with a hot glue gun.
The basket is a bit of sacking with plaited string handle, flowers a few from some lace stuck onto wire. The hat is a circle of felt stretched over a bottle cap when wet.

I'll post another tomorrow.

Fat quarters are a quarter of a metre of fabric for quilt making.
