From my local charity shop
Make pretty nifty dresses
For small pandas.
Basic panda pattern from this book.
It took me longer to make the dress than it did to make the panda, so I am totally in awe of Christina who can stitch such beautiful tiny clothes as these. Amazing.
My blog is a year old tomorrow, Happy Bloggy Birthday to me !
Juju mailed me recently, to say that, 'Surely I wasn't still reading the 'Kenneth Williams Diaries' ?'
In other words, I have updated a single thing on my blog since I first started, which is a pretty poor show. Bad me.
New look blog coming soon. ( Once I figure out how to do it all again ).
I love the look of your blog, it is so friendly, mine looks quite cold and hard, typical designer!!! Not me, the husband!
and Pandas dress is divine as always!!

I love the panda! I also have to say that the doll clothes on the other site are truly amazing as well. But surely you could stitch all those things at the half-inch size you like to work in??? I will be waiting to see it!! :)

Your new panda is super adorable. I'm in awe of how beautiful your creations are. You find the best fur fabrics for your creatures. I wish I could be so lucky.
Looking forward to the new look.

Happy Bloggy Birthday to you!
Love your little panda - I think she'd be best of friends with my little Pandior (made from the same pattern). If only they lived a little closer together ;)

Happy Bloggy Birthday! Great charity shops finds, I really need to go on another trawl. As for your sidebar lists and the lack of updating, well that is why I took mine down, that was too much like hard work! :)
Posted by: Gemma | June 22, 2006 at 01:53 PM
Very cute! And I would love to see one of your little stuffies dressed in something made from your stamped fabric.....:)

Happy Blog day to you. Your blog is a joy to read and the things you make are inspirational. I so enjoy visiting.
If you haven't been to the Cowslip workshops you should go, you would love it. I cannot wait until the JB workshop in September.

I have been looking at all of your fabulous ideas, inspirations and creations from the Japanese instruction books. I've been seeing these books on several blogs and I'm starting to wonder is there a group of crafters who know Japanese and I just forgot to go to the class? Are the books easy to follow if you have no background in Japanese or should I just pass?
I know it's a lot of questions from a stranger and I do apologize for that as I should have first said, "You give me inspiration every time I come to your blog. I cannot thank you enough for all the wonderful places you have taken me." However, I jump right into the questions, so please accept my apologies and know that this comes from a fervent crafter (in my own little world I am anyway.)
Many, many thanks!
a.
