Hello Smidgen, Just joined fiber focus and have watched your video with great interest. I have been experimenting with technique recently and have found it really easy and fun. I have been creating my own designs with the plain foam sheets, making leaf shapes and flowers ect. Will be using this method for a workshop i'm doing with people with learning difficulties as its so accessible. Keep up the good work! Sally

You are welcome! I think that so many people read a lot about stamping but don't have the time to try or that they just are too afraid that they are going to mess up a piece of wonderful fabric? That is why I always encourage people to stamp on used fabric and not new so if they do mess up it is not a big deal!

Thanks for sharing. Even though I have read all about paint on stamps to fabric, you took the "wall" away and showed that is is not scary. I am ready to go now! Diana

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

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.
