Fabric Friday: New fabric part 3
We still have lots of new fabric arriving and we have no idea how we are going to list it all as our online store is full to the brim! (we have a number limit on the number of products we can list but don't worry we hope to remedy this before too long.)
First up we have the delicious Meadowsweet 2 range from Sandi Henderson for Michael Miller. This range has a wonderful vintage retro feel to it and the colours are scrumptious.
As well as new stock we have also been able to restock a few popular items that have sold out quickly in the past.
Our Voodoo Rabbit Bunny Squee Large is back in stock and we have also a second, smaller Squee print available as well - Squee Hearts.
We have also managed to stock some more of the Aunt Lindy paper dolls fabric panel, this print was very popular first time around and sold out in a matter of weeks.
All of these fabrics and more can be found in our shop. We ship internationally and have free shipping for Australia Orders over $50.

Soft Toy: Paper Dolls
Over the weekend, I finally got to do some sewing. I hadn't touched a machine in nearly a month because I have been working on shop administration instead of creating. I couldn't stand it any longer so on Saturday I cut out two sets of dolls from the Aunt Lindy Paper Dolls Large Panel.
Here are the results:
The hardest part of making these dolls was the clipping, turning and stuffing. The sewing itself was quite easy (but that may be because I am used to sewing curves). I used a clear machine foot so I could see the sewing line easier and I also had the machine on the slowest speed setting. Getting the polyfill into the little pointy bits of the dolly hair and corners of the dress was the most annoying part because it kept escaping back into the main part of the doll.
It felt so good to be making something again! My favourites are the blue dolly and the little pink puppy.

Fabric Friday: Vintage Paper Dolls
Did you ever make or play with paper dolls when you were a child? Cloud did, which is why we couldn't pass this fabric up:
Sherri Marquez reproduced the design directly from her Great Aunt Lindy's personal collection of adorable paper dolls which are thought to have been from the early 1900's. We are stocking two fabrics from the range. The first is a panel featuring 8 dolls (2 Boys and 6 Girls) with lots of clothes. It measures approx 110cm x 60cm / 43in x 33in. It would be gorgeous sewn up into a soft book as a present for a little person or mum-to-be. It can also be stretched over canvas to make a vintage nostalgia wall hanging in a kid's bedroom.
The second is another panel featuring 4 different dolls which can be sewn up as a soft toys approx 30cm tall. It measures approx 110cm x 85cm / 43in x 33in. The contrasting 'back' to the dolls is just too adorable and so are the animals that you can also make into smaller, matching toys.
Cloud can't resist and is going to made up the dolls. I think she is doing it so she can keep the little white rabbit and the kitten. Which doll do you think is the cutest?
