After I finished the pirates, I’ve been working with dolls that were already in progress. Some of which I sewed up before the move, so 2 years now. It is great to be able to jump in to a project with some of the design decisions already made.
This really is the most amazing fabric! And look; I found a unicorn button in my collection!
He is a serious fellow with lots of Country Estate tattoos.
Here he is with a cat (Jasper)-
Jasper is always eager to help out. And here without a cat-
Yes it’s a stag and it is a hunting scene. This is some classic toile.
Hounds all over and a man on a horse on the arm.
And then a wild boar on his back.
He is the last pirate for a while. I had fun making these fellows!
His braided beard was inspired by someone in our building :-)
This octopus fabric has been a favorite of mine.
He is wearing tails- the back flap is split up the middle.
I have on more pirate that I am trying to finish up, but this fellow jumped the queue.
I’m not sure what era these skeleton fashions are from- maybe Georgian?
I am being distracted by my little garden these days. It is nice to be outside and mess with the dirt!
He is #4 of the bunch.
He doesn’t have a hat. I just couldn’t bear to cover up his glorious hair.
More skeleton tattoos-
No beard and no mustache either!
He looks pretty grumpy.
He has an awesome pirate-y button on his belt.
I like the hat but his hair is pretty good too :-)
Stormy blue eyes. Another antique button.
I will tell you- it has been a challenge, figuring out how to put this fellow together. He is a very fancy pirate.
An antique button on his belt.
His hair in detail-
Fish pillow number 12 and the that’s enough fish pillows for now.
The purple body fabric was some more of the wool I took home from the free table at the rug hooking store. It had been a skirt once. Onto the next thing. Right now I am doing prep work- cutting and doing the machine sewing. It is always the best to have a bin-full of ready to go projects!
