Babushka pattern is here at last!

Russian doll pattern copy
I just popped the Russian Doll sewing pattern over there (------------->) in the sidebar. Please feel free to comment, email, ask questions, add suggestions, I'd love to hear them.  You can also pop your creations in the Blinking Flights Flickr Group.

Happy Sewing!

Busy, busy...

I'm in the middle of making a downloadable PDF pattern to make one of these little girls, I think it will be quite easy to make a little set of them, and I think they would look super sweet dressed up differently... for now, I'm busy drawing up little tiny instruction pictures and diagrams, and of course, spending lots of time drawing all the little details in the fabric-- I guess I'm a sucker for punishment.

I've decided that I'm going to go on a pattern making bender, the meekoo and spring lamb will be next, and I'm hoping to perfect that little Marie Antoinette type doll up there in my new header, completely inspired by my overdose on the Sofia Coppola movie a little while ago... I love the big, big hair, you can see it much better in the movie, but this is the gist:

And my little dolls and blinkies arrived home safe from their debut at the Notebook offices, a shortened version of the dew drop girl pattern, (just the Lucy girl), and the blinky pattern will be in the April edition, so keep your eyes peeled... and a very big thank you to Vanessa for recognising the cuteness of my little people! :)

P.S. No Glebe this weekend, just Kirribilli on Sunday.
