{Amy's Memory Elephant}
Amy wanted me to make this sweet elephant for her friend, whose father had recently passed away.
The striped fabric was one of his shirts. How special is this?
I've been making several of these Memory Animals lately and it's been an honor and a privilege to be apart of these special projects.
If you have some special fabric that you'd like an animal made out of or it could be clothes for a doll, visit My Etsy Shop and send me a message with what you'd like me to make.

{Chloe doll}
Wow, it has been a really long time since I've posted here. I have been very busy with my sewing business and the last few months have been very busy getting ready for my daughter's wedding, that is this Saturday.
My friend, Bennett, asked me to make this doll for her to give to her niece for her birthday. She wanted her to look as much like her niece as possible. Her body is made out of muslin, her clothes are cotton, shoes are a high quality wool-blend felt, she has safety eyes and her hair is made of yarn. The heart and message are hand-embroidered.
I've been wanting to get this doll pattern for quite awhile and now I can't wait until I have a little granddaughter to make one for.
I made some extra outfits for Chloe as well, the pink one is an undersuit and Kit's outfit (the blouse with dress).
I have several dolls you can order and customize over in my Etsy Shop, some fabric and some are hand-stitched and made from a high quality wool-blend felt. Head on over there and see what I have. If you don't see what you'd like, please send me a message there.

{polka dot circle skirts}

I created the pattern and I've made probably about 20 skirts for him so far. I've done a few poodle skirts as well. You'll see some of those up on my blog soon.

You can see more details over in my shop where you can order a purse like this with fabrics that you'd like.

I made this custom baby mobile for Ari V.

DIYWithWoolFelt on Etsy.

{Grace, a sweet fabric & felt doll}
This is a fun, new doll pattern that I bought a few months ago and couldn't wait to try out. Her hair & shoes are made from a very high quality wool blend felt. Her body and the rest of her clothes are made from cotton fabrics. She is soft and sweet and any little one would love her.
She does have safety eyes and a button in her hair, so if you are ordering this doll for a child under 3 (or one that tends to put things in his/her mouth) please DO NOT leave the child unattended.
Grace is available in my shop. You can order her here. Or...
You can head over here and order a customized Grace doll. You can choose hair, skin, eye and clothing colors/prints.

{A Christmas Elf}
Little Miss Elf is a little late in showing up here, but that's my fault. I was so busy with orders the last two months that I haven't had time to blog, so I'm trying to get caught up.
Melissa wanted her Christmas elf made with the eyes embroidered, no jingle bell on her hat and no buttons on her dress. I wasn't sure if I would like this doll without the safety eyes, but I really like how the eyes turned out.
I have a lot of different styles of dolls in my shop. I specialize in custom orders because I want you to get a product that you will love and be happy with. You can order a custom doll over in my Etsy Shop. If you want something different than what you find there please feel free to message me.

{Lacey's Helicopter}
I got a request for this little helicopter for a sweet little newborn baby girl named Lacey. She had to be life-flighted from one hospital to a larger one after birth. Her uncle ordered this helicopter for her.
Uncle Nathan asked me to stitch her name on the helicopter. I love how that turned out.
You can order your own custom made helicopter over in my Etsy Shop.
Pattern by Melly & Me.
