What with one thing and another, I’ve been pretty busy this last week with less time than usual for creative pursuits. Having said, that I have made a start on two new projects that I mentioned in my last post. First up, I have chosen fabric and started cutting out and sewing the apron for my mother in law:
The pink fabric will be used to make the waist ties, pockets and binding. I think it will be quite pretty in a retro sort of stylee.
I am gathering supplies to make a doll from “We Make Dolls”. Opinion was divided between whether I should make Supergirl or Fleur. I have gone for Fleur in the first instance simply because she is easier (no arms and legs 
). I’ve cut out the main body and head pieces, and am pretty pleased with the colour combo:
Waif, too, is making a start on a new sewing project. He is making an owl stuffie this time around. It’s a lot bigger than the penguin he made, which he was able to complete in one sitting, so he is learning the art of patiently doing a little each day:
Sewing is a great exercise in learning patience, I find.
Pretty pretty!
Thank you my lovely!
Wonderful starts! And so nice to see little ones sewing.
Thank you! Yep, it warms my heart when my kids take an interest in sewing
The apron is coming along beautifully. If and when I learn to sew properly, I think I would really enjoy making aprons. And your doll looks absolutely adorable, even at this early stage. I think it is so neat that Waif does so much sewing…what a great skill!
I think you should definitely start making aprons! They are quite an easy project to start with!
I think she looks lovely already. You make such gorgeous things and clearly inspire those around you.
Thank you – I think that gentle inspiration is the best way to learn from others!
