Though I haven't been blogging lately, I -have- been sewing a bit and made a little boy doll and this patchwork pillow. Both are made entirely from vintage fabric (except for the doll's hair and eyes, which are in felt). His face and hands are made from an old French sheet in thick cotton/linen.
The doll was so fun to make and his new little owner seems to adore him. The pattern is from charming Wee Wonderfuls and is available here (it includes a little girl pattern that I'd like to try next).
The pillow was unexpectedly fun to do, too. I thought it might take forever to cut out and sew, but it actually came together pretty quickly. The 81 squares are made from 41 different vintage fabrics that I've collected over the years.

Hi! I love to hear from you. Please know that I appreciate your comments and e-mails even though I am not always able to respond. :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: I grew up in the United States and now live near Paris with my husband (who is French) and our son. I like all things vintage and making things by hand.
