I am just beaming with pride when I look at her. For a non sewer, she's not so bad! Her right ear is a little wonky, but seriously, who's isn't? And I love her little green loafers. All the buttons are from my Grandmother's huge button stash that I inherited. Doesn't she need a green felt bag so she can go on a trip? Hmm . . .
Beatrice's dress is from a thrifted napkin and the yellow flannel is when years ago Dita and I made a New Year's resolution to learn to sew. Um, I think that was in 1999 . . . .
Anyway, I already started making her a buddy, the bunny pattern from the same booklet.
She is home ready to be sewn together and stuffed. Ofcourse now I'll have to go to craft store for more stuffing. OH DARN. ;)
Anyone else try any of Hilary's patterns? I have also made a Wee Bunny which is one of her free patterns:
You can see it here with the "used to be evil" sewing machine. Because of course before it was out to get me. It certainly wasn't operator error, right?? :) The wee bunny also has a tummy made from a thrifted napkin. Note to self: THRIFT MORE LINENS!

I havent made anything from her pattern book, but I have made a bunny, they are so cute!
YOU MASTERED THE EVIL SINGER!!!! YEAH!!
*ahem*
I am very proud of you. So what was wrong with the tension?
Beatrice is adorable. But yes, she does need a bag (although you think everyone needs a bag...several, actually, all with shoes to match).
I think I have some fabrics stuffed in my Closet of Doom that you can have, if you like. Although they are more of the tapestry variety (yes, I know, you are shocked).
I have to get on a subway now...to meet someone for drinks...and shopping...whoever could that be?
I love Beatrice! Of COURSE she needs a bag! Oy! And dare I say a hat? Because I believe the city is really one of the few places people still wear hats, so you're practically obligated to wear them (at least that's MY justification)! :)

Simply adorable!! (about time that fabric got used) Yes, of course she needs a bag. You could even knit her a hip bag:)
Love your velvet purse. That was a great find.
Dita
