These guys have been waiting in a pile to be stuffed. Done now, but not photographed. So you'll just have to imagine. I made the felt on their tummies a few years back with my pal Sarah at a musical festival. We spent a fun few hours learning the art of felting.

red ruffle
Another ruffle dress made from the same pattern. This time I've used hand block printed cotton from Cloth House, London (thanks to Al for the travel tips on my recent holiday, you know me well!) I had been saving these 2 metres of precious fabric and found just the right pattern.

Head-n-Tails
A little while back I picked up some gorgeous Ink & Spindle hand printed organic jersey. This is the project I had intended it for. A cover up for cancer patients. No me. A friend of a friend. I found this pattern not too long ago when one of my closest friends went through her own struggle with breast cancer. She lost all her hair and this was the only thing I could think of to help her out. They were great, fit snugly, comfortable and modern. You can find the pattern on the Sewers Forum here.

giveaway
Today is one of those days I want to clean out all my cupboards. This type of activity doesn't happen very often, but when it hits... if you are not nailed to the floor watch out. I found these pieces of fabric at the bottom of a basket. If you want them and live in Australia, leave a comment. I'll pick one and post to you by the end of the day.
How cool is that wooden owl? I bought him in London from The Lollipop Shop.
*Giveaway finished. Thanks all for entering!

Have you seen this new book by Tess from the Creative Women's Circle? Pre-order here.
I'm actually a little bit overwhelmed by the nice things she has written about me. It's one thing to talk endlessly about craft on your blog, and entirely another to answer questions for a book. So I tried to push myself just that little bit more and reveal some things maybe bloggers don't know about me, and encourage other designers on their journey. Then there was the 5 or so pictures I was asked to supply. Hmmm, that's a big ask. So I sent 20 and told Tess to pick.
