What a gorgeous tea set! Have been searching for a suitable tea set for my 14 month old who loves making cups of tea for Mummy...and upon stumbling on your delightful blog, I found it. Have just bought a pattern and can't wait to make it up!
I hope it was Hamble. Poor old Hamble never got a look-in. That golden girl Jemima always held people's attention. For years I have held close the thought that when they grew up Hamble blossomed and became a kick-arse, high-powered (but still really lovely) something or other. I bet Jemima has ended up with a cosmetic surgery habit and the prescription painkiller addiction to match.
Hi, I am Jodie Carleton. I started this blog in 2007 and somehow a tiny business grew from it. So now when I am not at my regular job I can be found happily making toys in my sewing room or swearing at the computer as I try and write the patterns. I am obsessed with foxes, pinnochio, Red Riding Hood and mechanical toys- actually pretty much any toys.
Say Hi if you have time, feel free to email me with any questions you have, I'm always happy to procrastinate by answering emails.
These tutorials are here for you to have a try. Please feel free to make any number of these items for your own use or gift-giving but please do not make items to sell using these instructions.

Can we guess who came to tea? Hmmmm.... My guess is Big Ted and Jamima, a left over from a childhood of 'Playschool'. :)

Insane but incredible!
(I shouldn't say you're insane, should I? When I go around knitting fruit. Please accept my apologies.)
A lovely day for it too!

Oh, I can't wait to see who came for tea! I'm betting on stuffies galore!
My pattern arrived yesterday, incredibly quickly, I thought I'd be waiting another week. Thanks, Jodie, for everything!
Did you make a service for 7 so you'd have 6 in case someone breaks one? roflmao
Delightful!
Sew much fun! Can't wait to see the guests.
the seven dwarfs???

Um... not Amit the Spammer? Noel Coward? Dame Edna?...Jofus and Lally? Big and Little Ernst and Ernst's sweetheart?
I'm with a few here, it ought to be the Mad Hatter and the Dormouse and the Mad March Hare! But it was probably Alice.
I hope it was Hamble. Poor old Hamble never got a look-in. That golden girl Jemima always held people's attention.
