I've been playing around with a pattern for Kokeshi doll softies. These two girls are cute, but I think they need some friends of different shapes and sizes to hang out with. I'm going to work on a group of five and then post the patterns for you to download. They're nice and quick to sew and use up lots of fabric scraps too. I think they're a neat little project for occupying an afternoon.
I love them, they are just gorgeous. Can't wait for the pattern so I can have a go. They remind me a little bit of those squeaky toys that are around for children. The ones where you squeeze the long part it makes a squeaky sound.
ReplyDeleteThey're adorable! I've only recently bought a sewing machine, and hope to work my way up to these type of interesting projects, and not just straight lines. I especially like the green kimono and obi.
ReplyDeleteThey would be very cute with a rattle in them.
ReplyDeleteI'd lie in my cot for hours playing with one.
You're a creative superstar, Estelle. I don't know how you come up with these ideas.
Oh they're gorgeous! You clever thing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind comments gang! R&S, I don't have a lot of skillz with the sewing machine, these babies are EASY!
