For a few years I have followed this amazing seamstress on ebay who makes utterly stunning doll clothes. Her work has inspired me to work harder at perfecting my doll clothes. She recently opened up an etsy shop and I asked her if she would be interested in an interview, to which she replied that she would. Who or what got you interested sewing? When I was very young I used to watch in awe as my mother sewed for me and my siblings on her Imperial sewing machine. I loved my Mom's button box..it was magical to me! Where did you learn to sew or who taught you? I learned to sew by watching my mother and experimenting with a scissors, fabric, needles and thread. My Mom truly didn't have the time to actually teach me or my sisters to sew. She sewed out of necessity and it was just one of many chores she did in raising nine children. How old were you when you made your first project? When I was four years old I made my first doll dress. What was your first project? I can remember laying my doll on the floor, cutting out fabric around the doll then sewing it one her. My mother was very proud of my accomplishment. I can remember being embarrassed as she showed everyone who came to visit what I had made. What are the most beneficial resources to you? Presently I search the internet for historical pictures and photos, vintage pattern jackets, vintage catologues, movies etc. I am always on the look out for ideas to make realistic looking garments for dolls. What are some of your favorite sewing books? I have two books from Dover, one titled "Everyday Fashions 1909-1920" As pictured in the Sears Catalogs" and the other titled Children's Fashions 1900-1950 As pictured in Sears Catalogs. Another great book I enjoy is titled The Collector's Book of Dolls' Clothes, Costumes in Miniature 1700-1929...Authors Dorothy S., Elizabeth A., and Evelyn Coleman ( no relation to me, even though we have the same name). What are some of your favorite patterns? Although I usually design and make my own patterns,I recently purchased a pattern from a fellow seamstress for an 1850's Day Dress by Thimbles and Acorns, designer Shari Fuller. Its a wonderful pattern. I have a few of Lincoln Mold 18" doll patterns which I use from time to time. Where do you get your inspiration from? I've always loved historical fashion and love trying to create it in doll size outfits..maybe I was born in the wrong era...:o) I' d say the resources themselves are very inspirational. I do my best to capture the particular style and era of every garment I make. It can be difficult at times given the scale of the doll clothes. What are some of your other hobbies/interests? Over the years I have enjoyed designing and creating jointed mohair teddy bears. I love to cycle and work in the garden. What would be your ultimate/dream sewing project? Hmmm, I kind of feel like I am doing it now... thinking up designs in my head then seeing them made up in completion on a doll is my dream job. I find it very satisfying. Someday soon, if all goes well, I may have patterns available for sale.
Who is your ghost boo? Get it? Boo? ....No? Okay.

Hello Bloggers! Happy Friday to you all! I'm hopping on today to share my project for the Christmas in July Blog Hop by the Inspiration Crew! This is my second project with this lovely group of talented Ladies! The "crew" is a group of crafty blog friends creating projects we like with products we like just for fun and for inspiration with a common Holiday theme! Be sure to stop by all the blogs listed below for GREAT ideas for Christmas in July! You should have arrived here from Jen Cuthbertson's blog. I decided to create a Christmas Tag using Julie Nutting's Doll Stamp. If you know me, you know I LOVE these stamps. It's so much fun to create with these cuties and it brings me back to being a kid playing with paper dolls. I used some older Authentic paper from the "Wonder" collection. The doll stamp is "Jaclyn" and I love her sassy pose... Here's a close up of the banners ... I can't get enough of these tags ... as you will soon see!! Next on the blog hop list is Ardyth Percy-Robb - you will love her project. Be sure to stop by all the blogs as there are some >>prizes<< available!!

Witajcie, Ostatnio postanowiłam odkurzyć nieco moje promarkery. Przypomniałam sobie, jaka to świetna zabawa. Dzięki temu skleiłam też kartkę. Tło do pokolorowanego stempla z lalką Primy stanowią papiery i dodatki z Rapakivi. W minioną sobotę miałam ogromną frajdę uczestniczyć w Art in Town. Bawiłam się świetnie. Spotkałam mnóstwo osób. Były uściski, rozmowy, wspólne zdjęcia i kawa, trzymanie kciuków w losowaniu i duuużo śmiechu. Dziś jeszcze uśmiecham się na te wspomnienia. A na koniec, tak na deser, były warsztaty albumowe z Cynką, która jest nie tylko utalentowaną, ale także przemiłą i życzliwą osobą. Dziękuję Ci ogromnie za wszystko. :) Efekt warsztatów pokażę w innym poście. Niestety mój album nie przetrwał trudów podroży autobusem. Musi zostać ciut reanimowany. Trzymajcie kciuki. Pozdrawiam Was ciepło i dziękuję za to że jesteście i zaglądacie do mnie. :)

Dit label heb ik gemaakt met een van de zes Mixed Media Doll-stempels van Julie Nutting, die uitgebracht zijn door Prima Marketting. Het dessinpapier is van Papermania en de grote bloem is zelfgemaakt met ponsen en stansjes. Verder is de tag versierd met reliëfpasta, een gestempelde schulprand, houten klosjes en een liniaaltje. Het lint is een idee van mijn zus Lia. Zij zag dit in een winkel en vond het zo leuk bij de stempels passen. Liefs. Loes

Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins, a Tonner Repaint Noel Cruz is one of the most versatile and distinguished repaint artists in the doll community. He is most recognized for his character and celebrity based dolls due to their uncanny resemblance to the people they portray. His dolls are derived from several models like Gene, Tyler, Sydney, etc, by various doll-makers such as Robert Tonner and Franklin Mint. His repaints as well as his portraits are done with intricate detail to the point of being naturally lifelike in essence. Highly regarded among collectors and artists alike, Noel attempts to raise the bar and bring a fresh take to the common mass produced doll with every face he paints. Noel's specialty is with one of a kind repaints. The beauty of repaints is that almost no two are exactly alike just as no two artists are alike. Visit Noel's site at www.ncruz.com
Hi! It's Sandie here and today I have a tag to share, which I titled Discover Yourself. The tag itself is from the Julie Nutting for Prima Aquarelle Tag Pad and it measures at 3.5" wide x 8.5" tall. I covered it, front and back, with Prima's Fairy Rhymes designer papers. I stamped the Prima Doll out onto Blending Card and coloured her up with Copic markers. I paper-pieced the dress and headband. I cut the butterfly out from the designer papers, added some flowers and pearls and a flossed button to embellish. The 'Discover Yourself' sticker is from Cosmo Cricket's Tiny Text. Thanks for visiting today. Remember, you can also find us on Facebook and we would love to see you drop by and share your creations with us :) Sandie xXx

Had a lovely week off - weather has been fantastic so not an awful lot of crafting was done. However I was able to have a little time playing with the Julie Nutting stamps. Andrew my work colleague tends to save me all sorts of plastic, bags and packaging from the I.T equipment we get in the office and this time he handed me some scraps of MDF - yeayyyy just perfect!! So I set to!. This Julie Nutting stamp has been coloured in with Copic pens and the paper piecing has had a little shading added. The background paper has been stencilled over distress inks over the flower stencil by Creative Crafters. The designer paper, doily and flowers are all from The Hobby House. I am entering this into the following challenges Colour Me Creative Challenge - Anything Goes Creative Corner - Anything Goes Thanks for looking Polly x
