I recently discovered an area of handmade stuff that is so addictive; the making of softies.
There is something about wool felt used in softies that make it so tempting to touch. Softies are endearing in a way that they are imperfect with their wonky looking eyes or noses and features slightly off center. Plus they are a fabulous way for me to use some of my stash of fabrics.
Here's Little Red, for Pauline's little one, Joyce
This is pajama-wearing Brian, whose name has been given by Kyle.
Kyle wants a cat girl friend for him, he has even specified that she has to have yellow fur and wears a pink dress.
Meet Charlotte, the feline which tries to look a little more sophisticated.
It was my first attempt making a dress for a softie and I realised that I still need lots of practice.
Oh…you must see her shoes. The lace is from my mom's collection of vintage laces, hoarding fabrics apparently is in the genes.
More handmades done these last two weeks…
An embroideried wrislet for my MIL for her birthday
A big hat lady on a simple wristlet.
Was supposed to continue my Asian dollies project, but I realised I get easily bored with bigger projects. I like my hand-mades in bite-sizes like these, as I don't need to wait too long to see the finished product…so no quilts ever for me for sure.
I love your softies! They look so perfectly done up with such cute innocent expressions! You really have a gift there!

Wow, you are really good in these! The first one looks like Pinocchio without the plaits…
Come to think of it, you are right, she does have a Pinocchio face!
These are so beautifully made. I love those tiny shoes, simply adorable! I can see why it’s so addictive.
Thanks for the compliments Ing. I am probably revisiting my childhood by making these softies, then I was a little more tom-boy and wasn’t able to appreciate all these things đ
Wow, these are really beautiful. You are really a very talented mummy!
Thanks for the compliments savvymummy. Talent I don’t have, only passion and interest
Gorgeous! I too, love those shoes, vintage lace always helps to prettify something up!
Thanks Jus. It is a good way to use some of the stash that my mom has plus good for making the dolls look more girlie..haha
