He’s got an embroidered belt buckle and high lace-up boots.
In the Mimi news
I will be in San Francisco next weekend with all my wares- hope some of you can stop by for a visit!
And for anyone who plans way ahead, I will be in Chicago in September 6 and 7.
In other news, I revised my Tiny World pattern after all these years. Honestly, it’s been on my to-do list for at LEAST a year! It now includes the pattern for 2 little houses- one upright as shown in the photos, the other is a cottage style. If you bought the pattern in the last year and you’d like a refreshed pattern, send me something that shows when you bought it and I will send you a new pdf copy. mimik@pobox.com
forager fox
When he was just dressed in his blue knit sweater vest and I started out making the sage green corduroy jacket, I thought he was a gardener. But, as I worked on him, I decided he was a forager and his sack is full of all the good things he’s found.
And I foraged all through my studio drawers to find goodies for his bag!
fox girl in browns
This sweet fox girl does not have a vintage fabric dress. Her’s is made from a cut of Liberty lawn that I bought at Britex when I was out in San Francisco last summer. I knew it would eventually become a fox dress. Her jacket is vintage linen though, some scraps from a dress my Mom made, probably in the 60’s.
The jacket has little brass buttons. And I made her a necklace.
Her school bag has her books.
little fox girl
Another fox girl dressed in vintage fabric. This dress fabric is vintage lawn, probably from the 70’s or maybe 80’s from my Mom’s stash. The fabric was actually an unfinished project, all cut out but not sewed up. I loved making it into something!
regular everyday working fox
He’s off to the office and a full day of work. His tie pins onto his neck- the ultimate clip-on. His vest is blue linen.
Some detail pics of his briefcase.
another summery fox girl
And more vintage Laura Ashley fabric!
Lots of flowers- buttons on her cashmere sweater, decoration on her bag, and of course the print on her dress.
the Hiker
I hope everyone in US had a lovely July 4, even if it was very wet in a lot of places including here in Boston.
My latest fox is a hiker.
He has a cashmere sweater and a corduroy vest.
And a day pack.
Summery fox girl
Her light linen jacket and double gauze dress say summer fashion to me. Her jacket has an antique button and she has a friend in her bag.
not too trustworthy fox
He looks kind of sneaky to me. Maybe a used car salesman?
He’s got a watch and a very snazzy vest.
And a fox Newspaper and a fox wallet.
