ITH Fabric basket - ready for Easter. I was quite pleased with this idea, but when I make another one I will use some iron-on interfacing on the fabrics to give it more body.

Inspired by Amazinggrace's use of the tissue holder design, I decided to digitise a zipped purse that would fit my 4x4 hoop (really 126x110!)I added a loop and a carabiner so that I could attach it to the inside of my bag.

More blobs! I set myself the task of digitising different shaped ITH "blobs" to fit in a 4 x 4 hoop. The star could do with being a bit bigger as it is tricky to turn, stuff and stitch up, but I think they could both be useful for baby gifts. (Better wi

I'm not sure what this is, but I saw something like it in a shop. I thought it would be a good way to use Katulle's faces.

Full set of two faced puppets. I am running a course on emotional well-being on Friday and these will go to one of the teachers to test (to destruction.) Know-all daughter says they look like Emoticons. I'm particularly fond of "confused" (the pink one

Rag doll upgrade. I find it difficult to make underwear for my jointed dolls - the joints get in the way! So, I decided to add built-in underwear. I took the body design and added an applique shape with a lacy stitch for the edges. When I do it again, I w

A jacket with no embroidery! This began as a chenille throw and I just managed to fit all of the pattern pieces for this jacket onto it. It doesn't show up that clearly but it has braided frog fastenings.

Another one for the menagerie! I had no suitable coloured felt to try this one out so I used curtain interlining. It is a cow by the way!
