Passion Flower Chintz Hot Dog Time!

I have this great chintz with passion flowers and carnations and lots of little flowers all over it. To be more specific, I've had it for over fifteen years. It's absolutely glorious. It's hand screened with maybe twenty five to thirty different screens, and if I recall correctly, it's French. 

It was just SO girlie that I couldn't figure out what to do with it. I even struggled making a Dachshund out of it thinking the floral just wouldn't work.  I took a chance though and laid out the gof patterns, and lo and behold, it looked great!

I sewed her right up, and my daughter named her Summer. I put her up for sale today so head on over to my Etsy listing to get a closer look :)

A New Green Plush Dachshund is Getting Ready for Etsy!

My internet has been in and out (mostly out) for two weeks, plus we went on a mini vacation, so I haven't been able to list anything on Etsy. However, I have been SUPER busy on the sewing machine! I'm getting ready to list three new plush Doxies on Etsy!

I'd like to introduce you to Cookie. This little lady is made from a gorgeous and super girly green floral swirly vintage fabric. It's a hand screened print on cotton, and is made with fourteen screens. I think it was made in France, but I'm not 100% sure.  Here are some scans of the fabric.

Cookie's nose is made from leather, and her bow is made from vintage French ombre ribbon that fades from soft pink to a mossy green. I've posted a photo of Cookie below, and you can see more photos of her, as well as other dogs I've made in my Flickr Weenie Dogs photo set. Look for Cookie in my Etsy store early this week!

Oil Spill "Epic Fail Whale" Tote

Here's a tote bag I made for my own personal use. The oil soaked whale isn't my design, so I'm not making them for my Etsy shop, but I did make a few for my friends who harassed me until I caved in. I've gotten so many complements on it, and I really wish I knew who the graphic artist was. If anyone knows, please drop me a note and let me know!
