Wandering in the woods

Wandering in the woods
I more and more enjoy making earring! Especially since I discovered a great bead shop. It's not really close to my house but it's worth the trip! Here are two new creations: A Night in the Woods Fruit Picking I'm very tempted to bite in the last pair!...

Hayley's bear

Hayley's bear
This little bear is made out of cotton and fleece. Since I made it for a new born baby called Hayley, I didn't give it a name. Her mum will do it! It will be difficult to part! It's the first cuddly toy I made a few months ago. It's born in Australia...

Dresses

Dresses
These are three new dresses I made last week. I was hoping to take part in the Perth Upmarkets but I wasn't accepted! That's a bit sad! I've applied for another market in december. I hope I'll get in! Here are the photos. Click on the pictures to see...

Odyssey of a pair of pants...

Odyssey of a pair of pants...
It started when I saw those pants on Nessie's blog. I have always loved pants with flare legs but I can never find pants that I like when I go shopping. But one day I went to a second hand market and I found a pattern from the 70's to make that kind of...

Pants Ali

Pants Ali
Before they became pants these were meant to be harem pants after hers. But the way they looked on me was a bit strange so I decided to convert them into pants. And that's what they look like now. Much better! Yay, one more thing to add to my list of...

Back!

Back!
I'm so sorry! I said I'd be back in May and today is already the first of June! Time flies and I can't keep up! Also I suffered from jet lag for ten days when we came back from Europe! So here are two toys I made before we left. It's actually one order...

Something new!

Something new!
Here is the bag I made for myself. I started it a month ago in between two orders. I used a beautiful black elastic corduroy and a gorgeous japanese fabric that I bought two years ago in Melbourne. It cost me so much that I had been scared of using it...

Milly the Cow

Milly the Cow
This is Milly the Cow. An order for a baby who will be born in July.I've had a hard time making her. I sew and unsew her muzzle many times and now it's finished. I think that for Leila and Melody, it was beginner's luck. I had to draw many sketches to...

Melody the Cow

Melody the Cow
Beware, you're gonna fall for it... Ah! I told you! Isn't she a wonderful cow?Making a new animal is always a challenge as I create the patterns. It's really difficult to create a 3D object that's quite blurry in my mind and then in 2D on paper. It was...

A nice encounter

A nice encounter
As I was out for a walk, I made an unexpected encounter. So I quickly took out my camera! I was lucky. Rufus the Greedy Rabbit agreed to stop eating for a few minutes so I could take a photo of him! But Edward didn't want to get down the tree. And for...

Pirate top

Pirate top
Here is a top that's the first of an upcoming series. I've had the pirate fabric for quite some time and when I saw the pirate buttons I thought that they'd go perfectly together as a yoke. So I just had to draw a pattern and off I went! I made it before...

I'll be back soon!

I'll be back soon!
I have been in Australia for a few weeks now. After being disappointed a few times I am now happy to know that I will have a sewing machine very soon. I ordered it online yesterday and I hope to receive it soon. Now you understand why I didn't write anything...

Wander in Hyde Park

Wander in Hyde Park
Here I am! No, I didn't do nothing as you could thing. In between work and migraines, I managed to find some time to create. After I finished two orders I decided to go to Hyde Park for a wander with my sister. Once again, I made a surprising encounter....

A new wallet

A new wallet
Do you remember Fat Wally? This big wallet that was way to big to fit nicely in a purse. Well I did say I'd get back to the idea. It took me a long time, but I got the inspiration a few days ago and decided to give it another go. So this is it, and I'm...

Fat Wally

Fat Wally
Here is a creation I started about one month ago, with my poor little aching fingers (they're much more happy since Ms Singer arrived!). I finished it with the sewing machine. Fat Wally This is Fat Wally. A big wallet that's actually 4 centimetre thick,...

Wow!

Wow!
A new shopping centre opened in Perth a few weeks ago. The best thing in there is actually the temporary exhibitions happening for the opening. Here is the one I really loved. A sort of coloured sugar sculpture changing and getting bigger as the artist...

Harold the Baby Bear

Harold the Baby Bear
As promised earlier, I'm already back! And this time, I need your help! I made Harold for a baby who isn't born yet. I just finished it and I find him a bit sad, with his head tilting on one side! I am wondering if he is a good present for a baby. So...

Some new things (at last!)

Some new things (at last!)
At last! I got my sewing machine! You can now see that I have been pretty busy during the last few days! This first creation is an idea I've had in mind for a very loong time! But I made soft toys instead! I'm quite happy that it is feasible. I think...

Pom the Baby Bear

Pom the Baby Bear
Today I'm introducing Pom the Baby Bear. He's the youngest of all the friends. Say hello to him!Cotton and fleece. As I've just been told what Pom could mean in English, I thought I'd explain why I chose this name. 'Pomme' in French means 'apple' and...

Sam the Cow

Sam the Cow
A few weeks ago, I finished an order for a new born boy called Jaha. You may have realised that all the cows I have made so far are girls (that's probably because cow is feminine in French!). But since the baby is a boy, I couldn't be certain that the...

Tag!

Tag!
I'll be quick because we're going to Launceston in a few hours and I'm not ready! So I finally found a nice way to make tags. I had been looking at the home made tags on this blog for a looong time and after I saw what Luuna does with textile paint I...

Théodore the Koala

Théodore the Koala
Théodore is quite an innovating new cuddly toy. For a start it's the first Koala I make. Meaning that it's also the first time I use fur (fake of course), which is quite a pain to sew! Also you might have noticed a new leaf logo very much inspired by...
