Simple sew dresses

I modified a dress pattern from an existing pattern I bought from lincraft.
Made from cotton, comfy to wear and cool for summer. Easy to sew with no zippers.

Toy dog and Friend

I made this small white toy dog as a trial run before introducing this project to an art therapy client. I found the pattern in a library book full of different dog breeds. The toy behind is knitted with the wool of an alpaca and bought from an alpaca farm.

Art in a box

An interesting project from a ten week sculpture course I have been attending.
Putting art inside a cardboard box, collaged with pages from an old atlas and a seed pod collected from the beach poking out the bottom of it.

Oscar memorial pillow

Oscar our delightful and sadly missed Shiba Inu passed away recently. I made a pillow to cushion my grief. I printed a photo of Oscar onto transfer paper and ironed it onto cotton fabric.
I then cut a pattern around the image of his head and stuffed it with his fur that I had collected over many years. He shed his beautiful double coat of fur twice a year and it was quite a task to 
 brush it out.
