Girl fox with School Bag

Posted on November 26, 2017 by mimik

Her school bag- just the kind I wanted as a kid.

I have a collection of these fun ribbons and I love it when I find a place to use them! Those mushrooms were exactly what this little wool dress needed.

Green Plaid Jacket

And we continue with the foxes!

He is made out of a lovely bright orange wool, probably meant as a coat fabric. It is soft and dense and a dream to work with. The green wool plaid is from my trip to the Pendleton outlet when I was in Portland, OR. Great memories when I am sewing.

Nerdy boy fox. Or more like a commuter fox since he has his newspaper in his pocket.

This is my craziest time of year. I feel pretty frantic as I try to get ready for the CraftBoston show, try to keep up with my emails, do the product photos, etc, etc. The result is that I am not focusing on getting items into my etsy shop. If you see something go by that you are interested in, send me an email (mimik@pobox.com) and I can give you all the info.

Yep, adorable!

I packed a picnic in a basket for her.

I thought this photo looks like a school picture!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates tomorrow!

Little Fox girl, Snail dress

It has gotten a bit cold in Boston for this particular outfit but it would be perfect for the Spring.

I do like her striped green shirt/jacket. Maybe I should try to make myself one!

I have so many fabrics that are perfect for fox dresses… I get so excited about every one!

She has a button-up cashmere sweater and a soft white shawl/scarf. And, of course, her school bag.

She is adorable! I have been looking forward to using this Liberty fabric, ever since I bought it last Spring. It is perfect colors for and orange fox girl.

She has an incredibly soft and fuzzy cashmere sweater to wear on top.

Lumberjack fox

I’ve been imagining this fellow for a long while so when I got back to the foxes, he was the first that I wanted to finish up.

He had to wear the lumberjack classic red and black buffalo plaid, of course!

And there is his axe, stored in his backpack.

All his clothing and accessories are removable. He has his hatchet, a pear, and a handkerchief, stowed in the backpack.

It is hard to get inspired to do foxes with outdoor interests (like butterflies, mushroom hunting, foraging, etc) in the winter when the forest in New England is asleep. But, wandering, even in winter, I can imagine.
