More of the shabby than of the chic. This didn't turn out at all the way intended. It was supposed to be a bag that you could turn over to make it look as if it were reversible.

Stray Socks
Both and black and the orange creatures are stray socks - they are both worn and bobbly. I think it means they look as if they are well loved.
Stray Socks
I just love the piggy. Unfortunately it isn't made from a stray sock, I just had to buy a packet with wavy tops. The little creature is stray though because she was made from the pig's leftovers.
Stray Socks
I recently bought the book Stray Sock Sewing and have had great fun.
The black one is the first one I made and the little pink one is made of left overs.

My First doll pattern - On Spoonflower fabric
The Blue doll is the original sample doll, the yellow one is made up from the fabric from spoon flower. This time it has pipe cleaners in the legs so they bend and the doll sits. The hips are articulated as well. I just have three more to sew up now! A red and white one, the blue one and a plain one which I shall experiment with dyeing or painting.
Such a lot of blogs in one day. I'll try and do better next time!
