Pussy cat ITH zipped purse to go with the owl. I had some problems with this - first the right eye didn't stitch well, second I forgot to open the zip at the crucial stage and then when I had unpicked enough stitches and finished the outline, I realis

My version of the ITH Owl. I had this one in the back of my mind and wasn't going to let it out when I saw Mary Ann's version. She persuaded me otherwise! This one fits the 5x7 hoop.

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

Pocket doll. Following discussion in Community about tiny dolls which could be held in one tiny hand, I decided to Thadapt my jointed baby doll. She is 10cm tall and was stitched in my 126 x 110 hoop so I suppose she could be a tad bigger. The back is

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
