Dolly and things.

This is the first thing that I have made with my new sewing machine. It is going to a little girl, Izzy, for her 1st birthday. I swear to you that I am the supplier for birthday gifts for my friend Jill. And I am telling you that her kids get invited to more birthday parties than I know people on this planet. She loves to give handmade gifts and I love to supply them. Plus it gets my name out there. *hint*hint* I make custom super hero capes and tutus too! That reminds me! I have some pics of the custom capes I made for the holidays--------> here they are.
And I am also going to leave you with a pic of the dolly Alice and I made on Sunday night. She picked out the fabric and stuffed the body parts. I surprised her with a little tutu for her dolly. She has slept with it every night since.

Tutu for you

Here is another one of my favorites to make. My tutus are all hand tied. Yup, that means every single piece of tulle is hand tied to the waist band. I use about 50 yards of tulle for each of my tutus. They can be made in a variety of colors and accents. I am limited only by your imagination.

Here is one that I made in the spring. It sat in the back room of Isabelle's at the Ropewalk Mall in Mattapoisett for 3 months waiting for the buyer to decide if she wanted to carry them at the Village Toy Shop in Fairhaven. She was always too busy to decide so I picked up my stuff and said goodbye to the wish of selling my creations in a store. I will tell you a secret. They charge $80 and up for their tutus and they are made in a factory. My tutus start at $30 and are handmade. E-mail me if you are interested!
