I know I’ve talked about my connection to fabrics before somewhere, but in case you forgot ;-)

I love using fabrics that hold memories for me. I still have lots of fabric from my mom. I have fabrics that were gifts. I have fabrics that I purchased while traveling. This sweet little girl fox is wearing 2 memories for me- her shawl and a Liberty print dress. The shawl fabric was acquired on my first trip to Minneapolis, recorded here on my blog. Wow, that was a long time ago! I bought the Liberty fabric in San Francisco on my first (and only) visit to Britex. I was spending some quality shopping time with Sonya. And while I was sewing, I was remembering my travels.

Some of these foxes are made from wool I dyed last summer. My not-very-good dye job means slight variations in color which I happen to like a lot!

I think he has a very nice face- he looks sincere.

His vest is a print of ginkgo leaves.

dark fox girl

This dark blue dress fabric has always seemed a bit witch-y to me. Are there little fox girl witches?

Her jacket is a printed flannel and she has a spider web-by scarf around her neck.

In this photo you can see the pattern on the flannel jacket.

I got one of the fox girls finished!

She has a knitted lace collar- I bought the lace when I went to the Vintage Textile Show at the beginning of the month. Hurray for buying and then actually using versus hoarding, which is very easy for me to do. She has some flowers in her paw.

I am sorry that the photo doesn’t show the little button which is an antique black glass butterfly button.
