Silver Fox and Skeletons
So Handsome!
Farmer for Summer
This fabric makes me laugh every time I work with it!
Fox Girl, Vintage Liberty Dress
Sometimes the hardest things about a blog post is figuring out a title!
This sweet plaid fox girl is wearing a cashmere sweater and a dress made from Liberty lawn. I have no idea how old the fabric is but I’d guess 60’s or 70’s. It was from my Mom’s stash and I have a good amount of it on a roll, labeled with her handwriting.
Here is a close-up of her purse-
I am at the stage of my sewing where I am trying to build inventory with some of all the kinds of pieces I make, to take to San Francisco. That often means more jumping around than usual. So, even though I have 4 more foxes almost finished, sitting on my desk, I am moving on to the next thing and I will get back to them later. My studio is a CRAZY mess!
Forest School Girl Fox
She is #100 for 2018!
All her things-
and a close-up of her school bag.
Shaggy Professor Fox
He is a shaggy, rather absent-minded professor. But he has some fabulous clothes!
He is made of Harris tweed that I bought many years ago. It is a coarse, textured wool. You can see in this close-up-
He has a Liberty of London lawn vest-
Back view-
Elbow patches, of course-
And, his briefcase,
full of his scholarly papers.
Fox Boy Hiker
He is ready for adventure!
Here is a close-up of his backpack.
Fox girl in Grey
She is all made of knits with some sweet, soft clothes. Her body is boiled wool knit. She has a cashmere neckerchief.
A printed wool/other-soft-fibers blend sweater-
And a wool/cashmere/plus other fibers blend striped skirt with an elastic waist.
A close-up of her purse-
and here are some snowier snowy owls
This one-
Wool knit sweater body, angora wings and alpaca tummy patch.
This other one-
Soft wool body and cable knit wings.
If any of these owls inspire you, I have a pattern available here if you are moved to try and make your own. I won’t be adding anything to the Etsy shop now until after I return from my San Francisco show. That should be the 2nd week of August.
Not Quite Snowy Owls
Light colors but not snowy whites.
I got this zig-zag wool a long time ago and I’ve never figured out what to use it for. It was a midi skirt and I bought it at a thrift store in Ithaca, NY. Eventually I figure out where these pieces go.
This one is all about the soft textures. It is made of angora, alpaca, and some wool.
