And here are some much more simple clothespin doll people. These ones are better for the little kids to play with - to pop into my handbag or the pram for keeping them occupied when we're out.
I painted the solid parts of ten clothespins, thinking that it would be a quick job and then I could add the detail the next day. It took AAAAGES. I've only added detail and varnished these four. Hopefully I'll find some time to do ther others soon. I have big plans for them - as parts of a couple of other projects.
Tonight I'm dying fabric while doing a bit of washing sorting. I'm at the stage where I just have to keep resetting the washing machine and waiting - unfortunately, as always seems to happen, it has ended up still with a while to go and it's getting very late.
There's be beeps. Better go reset again. I have big plans for this fabric!

ReplyDeleteI love the gingham tops they are gorgeous. Youre very clever.
Some of your patterns are lovely and you write that they are an Ottbre pattern is it from a magazine and if so do you subscribe or buy from a shop? Im in melbourne and Id love to make some clothes for my little niece for her 2nd birthday in April.
thanks

Hi Helen
ReplyDeleteOttobre is a European mag - you need to order it online. You could google it because I think it is available at an online store in Aus, and it definitely is from online stores OS, but I subscribe directly from Ottobre - www.ottobredesign.com. You can just order individual back issues if you want to just get a couple to try them out.
