Create Sewing

Mollie makes sewing projects

17/05/2013

Meet Big Helga from Helsinki….

She is rather large, very retro-Skandi and rather bright!

I am sure we will be seeing lots of these in blogland over the coming weeks…

She is based on the “folk doll” from the latest issue of  Mollie Makes.

I made the small one first using the original pattern supplied in the magazine (approx A4 size)

I then scaled up the pattern and made “Helga”

I used some of my precious stash of skandi fabrics and trims…

Cut pinned and sewed piece by piece, arm by arm,

Until Helga began to emerge…

I changed a few details…….

….her apron has a real pocket 

……and a jumbo vintage ric-rac decorative trim……

and a bow at the back

her hair is pale green ric-rac……

and she is BIG……

I am now going back to some gentle crocheting……I have had a tiring week….

 …….crocheting is especially easy to do whilst watching the marvelous Don Draper and Roger Stirling….

….sigh…..

Do you like them too?

Bestest weekend wishes…..gosh that was a fast week!

I'd so appreciate you sharing this post!

Who slept well last night ? Not me!
I wanted to sleep in the garden and feel the cool night air, one day I will. The dogs would love it !
Instead we slept with the fan on and woke up with puffy eyes πŸ‘€ C’est la vie . . . 
.
Marc made our bed, from an old tree and bits of wood. He is a very clever man ! πŸ–€
