i ran out of time in vancouver to complete the dolls i wanted to give away for xmas, so while there i pre cut four patterns, packed a suitcase with stuffing, the patterns, extra materials, buttons and ribbon and brought the suitcase to calgary. it worked out perfectly. i have more time here to sew and was able to get the three dolls done that i wanted to before xmas.
i'm using my mom's sewing machine here, a singer that is only a couple of years old, and the motor on it! i've had several moments of veering off my path. i'm still trying to find that nice speed of quick sewing/alex still has control of what's happening.
after some tester pieces.... "lona" was created:
the next two are a pair that were created for my mom and her husband. even though they were pre cut in vancouver, turns out the fabrics used match the new paint job in their living room/kitchen perfectly.
introducing "pip & pip":
pipamaxus and pipaminus
now i just need to finish a doll for my sister's baby-to-be before dec 29th. here's the pattern:
have a fantastic holiday!!!!
