An Introduction...

Welcome to my new blogspot...and to start, a little about my journey here...

I have a background in costume design and I have been making dolls for many years. My recent creations have been cloth dolls inspired by antique dolls and my family history (another of my favourite pastimes). I also love creating anything with fabric and I'm enjoying experimenting with different styles and designing unique items.

In this blog I will share doll info, tips and tricks that I have learnt over the years and also pics and even a few patterns, so please check back often to see what's new....

I'm planning to take my old singer hand crank sewing machine for demonstrations for this fair, I'll be doing some doll making techniques and I'm hoping I'll have a new range of ready to sew doll kits in printed calico...and another huge mammy doll completed...and some historical costumes..and more dolls...I'm going to be busy!
