Just to let everyone know the shop will shut for Christmas on Sunday 14th December this year.

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. Also I have been asked why I don't often repeat combinations of fabric with the dolls. It is because I tend to buy remnant stock where I can, tiny pieces of fabric that are too small for most people to use. So often I have only enough to make one doll. Thank you and my warmest wishes xx

This is a new collection of dolls from my favourite fairy tales and nursery rhymes with the odd favourite character thrown in. They are little girls rather than the women I normally make. Each is a complete one off and while I will revisit the theme I will not be repeating the individual doll. So OOAK.
Tread quietly:
O people, hush!
—For don’t you see
A spotted thrush,
One thrush or two,
Or even three,
In every laden elder-tree?
Inspired by the Flower Fairies of Cecily M Barker this little elderberry elf was a joy to make.
