Hi Chrissie, you sent an email to me (Diana Bracy) that should have gone to Evie and she responded to me, instead of you. I am not sure of how it was mixed up, if you need a copy of the email, you can reach me at bracys@cox.net. Diana

Hi Chrissie,
Just noticed you're in the UK, I'm in Edinburgh, where are you?? Do you have any photos of your work?
Ciao, Evie

Chrissie! You have been all over the place! Well, there are several other French speakers here, so you will have to parlez with them... Here's the canned welcome note:

Welcome to Fiber Focus! It's exciting to see this grow so quickly! You can now personalize your page (several templates available that you can tweak), load photos (takes patience!), add videos, music and participate in the forums. There are some helpful tips under "Notes" on the front page.

This group is pretty informal. Our common ground is fiber, but we can have fun with it (as long as it is respectful of all the diversity here). Please feel free to invite your friends, too.

I'm also always looking for articles from guest artists for the blog, too, so if you like to write, let me know!

Free Vintage Paper Doll Pattern



Karen's Whimsey has this free Paper Doll pattern on her website.  Clothing for the doll also available.  Images are in the public domain.


American Folk Art Doll Pattern



This doll pattern and other folk patterns can be purchased at Cloth Doll Supply.  Their description:

HISTORICAL FOLK DOLL #11
The New York Doll

This 16" doll has made herself quite famous by being chosen to be on the cover of a well-known book of American Folk Dolls, by Wendy Lavitt. She is such a good doll for a cover as she has just about all the best details of this type of doll. Separate fingers, a wonderful and exaggerated face and hair all carefully embroidered, including her remarkable feather-stitched eyebrows, and a costume of just-right simplicity and detail. She has with her the same small cat the doll in the photo has. Silkscreened for embroidery and new antiquing methods included.
Pattern (mini-kit) #PGW725 - $42.00

#503: Flapper Slip-On Evening Dress $16.00 (US dollars)

A typical dropped waist of the Roaring Twenties is created by a yoke over the hips. The tiers of circular flounces form a lovely vision while dancing. The scarf and the tie sash patterns are included. This pattern is quick and easy to make.

This pattern is multi-sized 8 through 20. All the sizes are in one package. Look at our National Standard size chart for your size. Sizes 8-12 require 5 3/8 Yds. of 45 inch wide fabric; sizes 14-20 require 5 5/8 Yds. of 45 inch wide fabric.

Moccasins and Leather Craft Patterns


HOW TO MAKE LENAPE STYLE MOCCASINS
Shared by Mèssochwen Tëme

The same pattern is used for both feet so you only have to make one pattern. Once you make the pattern you're all set, and you can save it for making more moccasins in the future.
