Thank you to everyone who bought in the Folksy Perfectly Imperfect weekend .
Please enjoy browsing and should you buy a doll she will be packaged in an organza bag. I have been given literally hundreds and will use them until they run out rather than let them go to landfill. Thank you and my warmest wishes xx

This new pattern reflects my desire to make my bird ladies more dainty and bird-like. I am very fond of our native birds, birds generally really and I wanted a way to use birds in my work. I have also recently wanted to use more embroidery in my work and this seemed a lovely way of combining the two. I love the delicacy of these smaller little ladies and the way they sit in your hand. I genuinely enjoy making them and I hope you like them.

Full description

This is Alouette she is a tiny hand embroidered robin rag doll, a new pattern and much smaller than the original bird ladies. I use no paint to delineate the pattern but work freehand embroidery onto self colour cloth to make the plumage both on the front and the back of the doll. Alouette is dressed in a pretty Liberty cotton in a rich floral pattern from the Winter Flower Show collection called Cosmos Bloom with cotton and lace underskirts. She has stripy legs and little leather shoes. Her dress is finished with buttons and ribbon and she carries a little lavender sachet that is also embroidered. She has a little brass ring to her back so she can hang.

Alouette has a garnet to her heart with rose petals in her stuffing.

She stands just seven inches tall.

She is, as are all my girls, warm and companiable with a touch of English whimsy. I hope she makes you smile. Please remember she is not a toy and not suitable for children.
