She has on a dress made of vintage Laura Ashley fabric, a seersucker jacket with checked highlights (collar, cuffs and pocket), and a wool felt purse. Her jacket has embroidered button hole loops.

All her stuff-

woodland fox

I know ALL foxes ought to be woodland foxes but this one is especially so.

She has an embroidered felt vest. It closes with laces. I didn’t take it off and show the dress because the dress top is plain and the laces are fussy to get just right.

I love this spiderweb-by knit shawl. Perfect for her.

Too, too many unfinished pieces in the studio. I need to get some pieces finished! I’ve got some girls and some guys in progress- still finishing the backlog of sewed inventory from last year. I can’t wait to get out the toile and starting cutting some new ones! Soon I hope.

She is a green-eyed, red-haired girl.

fox and owl

I am back from Washington DC and will continue to post all the pieces that I didn’t get to show you before I left. Some of them found new families and some will go into my Etsy shop in the next few days.

This sweet little girl fox and her owl toy went off to live in Asheville, NC.

She has a book in her other pocket. Her coat has some wonderful antique buttons that I bought at the Sturbridge Vintage and Antique Textile show in May. She has a silk ribbon at her ear.

Her dress is Liberty and perfect for a dressed-up forest girl.

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 just had to make another one because that little fox doll is TOO cute!

And some details- the jacket has flower shaped buttons and a lining made from the same fabric as the skirt I am wearing today.
