Weenie!

I'm finally getting around to posting new plush Dachshunds to my Etsy  store :) This is Lily, and she is very pleased to make your acquaintance! Se's extremely proud and fiercely loyal, but can be quite stubborn at times! You can take a closer look at here, or in my Flickr account!

She is hand made from a lovely hand screened vintage English floral chintz in pastels on pink Egyptian cotton. Her entire body is sewn with vintage Kismet mercerized cotton thread. Lily's nose is soft leather and her lovely bow is made of vintage stock French wired ribbon in a blue to mint ombre :) Wanna take her home?

My Vintage Blue Floral Chintz is in an Etsy Treasury!

Thank you to Clay Hollow for including my vintage cornflower blue cotton floral chintz fabric in your beautiful Fabulous Sewing Supplies Etsy Treasury! You really found some great suppliers :)

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 :)
