My new friend Anne...

Greetings!

I started this project before Rapunzel, but completed now. For a week I was busy since we had some guests visiting from India. Finally I am happy that I completed this doll. As a beginner in sewing I felt quite difficult, had to undo the dress many a times and finally got an okay dress. I am not very good at embroidering, so the facial features of the doll is not up-to the mark. But only practice can make man perfect, so my aim is to practice sewing and attain perfection....

Will be back soon with my next project...

Until next time..

Rev Burgandey!

Guddi...

Guddu, The Elephant.

Greetings!

I started three projects simultaneously, knitting, sewing and cardboard doll house. I completed sewing first. This elephant is completely hand sewn, I did not use sewing machine at all. 

The pattern is from the book called 'Tilda's studio' by Tone Finnanger. I like her books. Presently I own three of her books. I once made a ballerina, from her book 'Fairy tale wonderland' after that I did not make anything, but recently I added two of her other books into my collection. So now again I am inspired to sew dolls.

Three days ago I went to JO-ANNS and bought some fabric :). Always colorful fabric inspire me. I love these one yard fabric bundles that they sell at  JO-ANNS. For this elephant I used some left over fabric I had purchased last time. For the skin I used felt. Even though I am not very good at sewing, I surely had lot of fun sewing this doll and I have made up my mind to sew more and improve my sewing skill. My next goal is, to learn how to make Waldorf style dolls. 

Right now my hands are full with other two projects which are in progress and also I am reading a novel called 'Family Matters' by Rohinton Mistry. Today I even cleaned the closet where I keep all my craft supplies, fabric, yarn etc. It took me an entire day to clean but now I feel relaxed. But it will soon be time to clean again :)

You all have a crafty day!

Revs!

Garden Fairy ...

This is my first attempt to make a fabric doll. I just thought of giving some rest to my knitting needles and waking my sewing machine up. I am still an amateur when it comes to sewing. But I really want to perfect this craft as well. This pattern is from Tilda's fairy tale wonderland...The fairy is dressed in a satin skirt which is netted as well. I have embellished her dress with a fabric flower and some ribbon  so that , I can tie a bow on the back of her dress. Her hair is painted with a black nail polish. I didnot have black craft paint so I got an idea to try my black nail polish which was at home and it worked ;) . Also I added some acrylic roses to her hair and the neck for her necklace . Her shoes is made with felt and ribbon..... Over all it was fun making this doll but not so happy with the finishing  though :( .. I just came up with a short story and it goes like this......

Today garden fairy thought of taking a stroll in the garden and so she came out of her castle.

Then she started walking around the garden ....

 She was upset to see in some places the land was barren and was lack of greenery ..

So she decided to fill the land with lots of greenery just with her magical touch...

But now she realized that the plants are lacking the 'Flowers '.....

So she started creating the flowers......

 Soon she filled the garden with beautiful flowers of all different colors....

Finally the garden fairy was happy the way her garden was looking and danced in the garden with joy :)
