Apart from the mammoth felting day I seem to have been just diddling along and get nowhere in the craft stakes.
So with the rest of this week not at work , here goes.
- I need to come up with a basic boy doll and girl doll shape for a project i said i would do with Grades 5 and 6 at school. My plan is that each child will create a doll with their own face on it. I have 5 two hour sessions - This is my gorgeous niece Rosie who agreed to be my proto-type face. We will paint on the basic clothing and then embellish after that..... This is a non - negotiable must do craft for this week.
- This bag needs to be finessed (actually started might be a better term. )I have done nothing but cut it out and make but not yet quilt the straps.
- These two bags need linings, pockets and straps - like hardly anything really.
- Poor little Poppy is still nude but she is all sewn up and even eventually got a tail.
Today at the op shop I got the cutest bag ! It kind of fits in with my coat hanger collection so it may end up on the wall I think. It is made of all those little chopped up bits of plastic. aaaaah what a craft !!!
The BIG project that I have bought all the fabric for involves a hacksaw, bolts, nuts, screws, staple gun - lots of fabric and crossed fingers. I haven't started yet but I am determined to do it - Can't wait to show you (if it works of course).
Also have some crazy stripey legged dolls and hedgehogs slam-dancing in my brain this week as well. They may just have to be happy with being consigned to a piece of paper somewhere for another day at this rate.
Love the idea of the dolls, good luck with the pattern.
ReplyDeleteYou have some sewing ahead of you.
What a cute little monkey :)
ReplyDeleteThose ruffly bags look so cute and Poppy is adorable! I definitely want to buy a pattern when they're available! ~A :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Guys,
ReplyDeleteAngela please don't get the idea that I am some mad pattern producer- I have only ever produced three. I have some I have been working on for two years - because they are spectacular ? No , because I hate writing instructions. I'll post proper pics of the bags tomorrow with some "wing-it" instructions....
I believe Poppy may never make to the baby she was intended for.......
