Birthday Mermaid

I made a mermaid for my sister for her 30th birthday earlier in October, she was so fun to make! Previously I've made a yellow cat, an albino mole, a black and white cat and a mint-haired lady doll. I really enjoy finding scraps of material and moulding them into something else. Next on the cards is a doll of the Biddenden maids, can't wait to get started! Here's some more photos of the little mermaid...

Scan of the week

Beautiful chain-stitch embroidery on a flared wool skirt. I'm going to be wearing this lots this winter, it's been in storage since last year but I've just got it out in anticipation! It has a moth-hole/burn-hole on the front of it which is a shame, but I think I'll sew something pretty over it instead of just mending it.
