My Blog is where I share my interest in cloth dollmaking. Please comment on my work, ask questions, and we can inspire each other! I am passionate about needle sculpting and developing new techniques and designing new patterns, so everyone can 'have a go'! I hope you will follow my blog and see what I can come up with that's new, and interesting!

It's the little things in life....A Cricket
Looking for hope in the little things of life – this pattern came about to coincide with major events that rocked the world this year, namely Covid 19 pandemic year two, the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan and subsequent overtake by Taliban, and the 20th anniversary of 9-11.
Dapper Cricket stands at 17 inches tall, and is all cloth but for his hat. The pattern is 19 pages long with plenty of step-by-step photos to guide.
This pattern could be any gender dressed in many different ways! It could even just be a green grass hopper! Imagine!
Give a little whistle - and always let your conscience be your guide!
Times like these, you need someone to talk to! Dapper Cricket is qualified

Quartet
The #Quartet!. I was playing around with head/shoulder dolls in small proportions, much like others I have been making, trying to capture characters. I found a set of ceramic musical figures like this and was captivated by the expressions of the men, and also the idea of white hair!
Hatter and Hare!
I made these as a free pattern for CDC group this week, because I have just finished writing a pattern of the Hatter! I was surprised at what a good fit it is!
