plaid fox with the news

Yes, he has one too.

And he has a cigarette,

and a fantastic vest with tiny buttons,

and a messenger bag with a book in it.

What a guy!

This sweet fox girl is special because her clothing is made with gifts from friends. The fantastic mushroom ribbon and the amazing Liberty dress fabric were given to me and I love finding the perfect use for them.

Yes, I couldn’t help myself!

He has a button-up wool sweater-vest. There is a book in his briefcase.

working on more foxes

I am working like crazy, getting ready for Crafty Bastards next weekend in Washington, DC. As a result, I’ve gotten behind on posting the finished pieces. Here is a sweet girl fox- Liberty of London lawn dress and soft baby wale corduroy jacket. I love the little brass buttons on her jacket.

I think that you can still get discounted tickets to the market next weekend if you click through on that link at the top of the post.

These are the last for now.

more fish

These 3 are actually from the last batch I sewed up. The bin gets emptied out and then filled again.

I think you can see the middle fish a bit better in this pic.

note– I won’t be adding anything to my Etsy shop until I get back from Washington, DC at the end of the month. No Time!!

September fish

Posted on September 15, 2013 by mimik

Step by step. These photos are from my phone- sorry about the bad focus on some.

17 fish- all the pieces cut out and piled.

Step 2- 10 are sewed up and ready to be turned. 7 are bagged and put into the fish bin for later.

Step 3- turned right-side out.

Step 4- stuffed and finished!

And there will be more fish tomorrow!

Chicago trip

Posted on September 14, 2013 by mimik

Setting up on Saturday morning.

View from the front.

And view from inside.

It was a fantastic weekend- Thank You so Much to all the people that came out and said hello! Unfortunately I am usually completely distracted and afterwards wish I’d asked for a business card or something. Just know I appreciate everyone who visits!

I got home on Tuesday evening and went straight to the studio to get back to work. I am in flat-out work mode, getting ready for Crafty Bastards in less than 2 weeks- Yikes!
