Meet Saffi...

This is Saffi, one of my latest little softies. I had originally made my friend, Bridgeen, a fox softie and loved her so much I made a mini version of her!! I made a few slight changes to her face, ears and skirt but that's about it. believe me when I say that it was a challenge working with little tiny pieces of felt for her peter pan collar and scalloped cuffs.

I had been wanting to make B a softie for ages and so out came Felicity Fox, Bridgeen blogged about her here.

I have been consumed with making these wee dolls lately, even though there is plenty of other things that I should be doing! I am teaching an embroidery class in a few weeks as part of August Craft Month here in the city, I have loads of stitchin' and prep needin doin! But today I have decided to spend my Sunday embroidering a Jenny Hart Pattern ( the little folk birds from her Dutch-Russian pattern sheet- which, incidentally Bridgeen got me at part of my birthday pressie...  ain't she a lovely friend? ) and maybe watch some terrible movies.... I just love a good corny movie :)

I'm thinkin', maybe a cushion?

Thanks for stoppin' by,  I'd love you hear what you think....

    Aw sweetie! Felicity's mini-me is gorgeous ;-) Loving what you are doing with that embroidery pattern too. Those wee fabric swatches at the side are to die for! Can't wait to see what you make. (p,s what crappy movie did you watch in the end?)

    Thanks a bunch JL :) Thats very kind of you to say so... she doesn't have a tail... though she nearly did! It was the proverbial 'logistical nightmare' lol I just couldn't get it right!!! I see that you make cool little softies and stuff have you ever had a 'tail' problem? (lol)

      Hey, you know... I woke up from a nap just now thinking about this doll. ahaha. kind of weird, but I guess it left an impression. So anyhow...I came back to look again and saw that you had replied. Is the Etsy shop up and running? Could you pass me a link to it if you get the time. Hope all is well. Oh and I saw that you were on Sew Country Chick today. Awesome!
