Avis, A Tiny Blue Tit Doll in Liberty

 

I have developed a new tiny bird pattern that is only seven inches, making the birds much more dainty and bird-like. Each tiny bird is heavily hand embroidered front and back, on her head, chest and to her wings. With tiny buttons, little leather shoes and a sampler sachet they make a sweet companion.
This little lady is Avis, a blue tit lady with camomile in her stuffing and citrine to her heart. She is dressed in a Liberty Quilting Cotton from the Coastal Walk collection called Wildflower Field. Teamed with a soft butter yellow chambray and bright blue shoes, she has cotton lace bloomers and a lace underskirt.
The larger, older pattern of doll, shown in company in the third photograph is now on sale on my Folksy Shop for £20. The photograph gives you an idea of the scale of the older bigger bird to the new tiny bird. I just love making them and I do hope you like them xx
