Paisley

A lovely friend managed to part with some snippets of her favourite fabric, she said it was hard to cut me a strip but she couldn't think who else would cherish it like she does! It's the sort of fabric you can just gaze at. Pale duck egg blue, mint green, fushia and pale pinks, swirly and so so girly and pretty. This particular fabirc was designed by Cath Kidston for Ikea some years ago and is difficult to get hold of - I check out ebay regularly for this stuff and it sells for crazy prices. Today I used up two thirds of the strip on two little baby/child items: a dog with some snippets of cotton velvour ears left over from other doll making days, blanket stitched and stuffed with organic sheep fleece. And the doll; also stuffed with fleece and with a cotton blue velvour hood.

Here is the fabric:


And what I made with bits of it:





I also have a metre length piece of this that I am relishing looking at and drawing out the deciding on what to do with it.....
