With rose quartz to her heart and rosemary in her stuffing she is a pretty little fox who smells sweet.
Her facial details are hand embroidered and her little black eye is a 4mm glass bead. I love her chunky nose!
I cut the bodice lining a few millimetres longer than the bodice front so that a fine line of the lining fabric, which is the same as the underskirt peeps out at the neck of the bodice. I do enjoy these tiny details.
The sampler sachets are always made individually to sit with their doll. Using counted thread stitches I like the contrast they make with fluidity of the fabric patterns. I have a monster ball of mixed embroidery silks that grows and shrinks as I use it. I never throw any cut embroidered thread away I just add it to the monster thread ball so I can nearly always find the right colours when i need them. I work with only one thread at a time so they last for ages. I began this thread ball monster about twenty years ago!
