Handmade gifts....cat dolls...


I either print out and sew on,or embroider a special little something.....a few meaningfull words that makes each cat or doll an extra special present for someone you care about......This one says ...You're Special...... The white heart and the ears are felt with glitter on....I spend ages choosing just the right buttons. 

I like my things to have a slightly handmade look whilst sewing everthing as perfectly as possible.

I am a trained sewing machinest and worked many years for a top upholsterer...we did upholstery for 'Cliveden House'...Lady Astor in Buckinghamshire... The fabrics we used were extreamly expencive,and I was often quite worried I would make a mistake.....The best thing though was that I got to keep the left over fabric...I still have a lot of it in the loft...Pure silk velvet...siks and embroidered fabric far too posh for my little house. Mind you although I love my fabric stash, I far prefer cotton and retro designs...
