A little story about a doll.......

Once upon a time there was a doll maker, she lived in a world of lace and roses, dreams and flowers, tulle and ribbons, and well...    I could go on forever, but you get the idea.

One day a beautiful face emerged from the fabric, all dreamy blue eyes and the cutest button nose you've ever seen...

And after a few days she started to transform into a beautiful creation...

Using some of the doll makers finest supplies including Hand spun Mulberry Silk with gold twine and glass beads for her hair, and beautiful shimmery Glass house fabric and the softest of softest netting for a lovely wispy skirt ~ the doll maker thought it was her finest creation ever...

The doll maker was so excited by this beauty she took all sorts of photos, she had big plans for her...

The pretty dreamy blue eyed girl quickly found her way into the doll makers heart and the doll maker decided to keep her as her own and make her the new face of her business...

Then one day in the studio whilst the doll maker was working on some other creations, the pretty dreamy blue eyed girl unfortunately acquired some white paint to her neckline :(

So then the fate of her future was well and truly cemented, she would always live in the studio with the doll maker and be her muse, her model and companion to all creations that pass through the doors.

So you will see her popping up from time to time, and she amazingly fits some Blythe outfits that the doll maker also dabbles in...

So for any of you who were wondering who that girl is in the background, now you know who the  Dreamy Blue Eyed beauty with the cute button nose is.

 Nappy for Nappy Choo Tutorial

I'm sharing a little how to today, on making your little baby BJD, Nappy Choo a little nappy.

Supplies:

fabric

lining

stabilizer

snap fasteners

general sewing supplies

Cut out your nappy pattern on the line...

Trace the pattern onto your lining fabric, make sure to mark where the opening is...

Cut a piece from the outer fabric and stabilizer (if needed), pin fabric together with right side pattern on the inside of the lining, (stabilizer on bottom)...

With small stitches sew on the line, starting and finishing at the open section...

Gently tear away your stabilizer if you've used it. Cut out the fabric leaving a seam as you go, and extra fabric at the opening for ease of turning through...

Turn through, and press if desired...

Sew a small stitch around the edge, this seals the open section as well, and stitch your snap fasteners in place...

All ready for Nappy Choo...

If you have any questions please don't  hesitate to ask.

I'd love to see any photos of your Nappy Choos in there nappies.

Nappy Choo

Introducing the newest member into our dolly collection - our very own baby Nappy Choo! This is little Bella, she is sooo adorable. My daughter and I are having so much fun finding toys and furniture for her, and will be attempting to make some little outfits for her too xx

Sweet Peas

One of my newest cloth doll designs are called Sweet Peas. These little cloth dolls can sit, unlike my other smaller Penny Annie dolls. Making it easier to display them. Each face is hand drawn and painted, making them all a little different in their own ways. I thoroughly enjoy making these little darlings and they are more affordable for my customers xx
