Autumn Owl Nubbins

All the owl Nubbins I had made before were sold at the craft show last weekend, so I made some more in some cozy fall colors.

Foxy Moxy

Meet my newest creation, Foxy Moxy ("Moxy" for short). I saw a fox doll in my new "Sew Me, Love Me" book and decided I wanted to try my hand at making a fox...

Gggrantler & duck fox

A while ago I picked up some soft woollen blankets from the thrift store, and I have made them into some soft woollen plushies. I like the soft warmth from the slightly worn pile and they're lovely to work with. Above is grrantler, another go at antlers,

.

and this duck fox (because he kinda looks like a duck, and kinda like a fox) also with vintage upholstery body.

They're both in my shop now, and you can see a few more on my blog.

Pink & Navy Blue Sweater Monster

Another sweater monster out of that bag of sweater scraps!...

I think I've found a new favorite monster design! The ears make them look like little gremlins.

Meet Gidget!

Hi! I'm Gidget! I'm 9 and 1/2 inches tall and I'm special because I'm made entirely from earth-friendly, reclaimed materials and I'm almost entirely hand-sewn!


In my spare time, I enjoy sock-hops,hair-dye, and tea parties.

Wee of Many Colors!

Hello TheNeedle Community! This is my first post. I'm Erin Froehlich and I've been sewing for several years now, but my passion has always been plushies. For me it's hard to compare the satisfaction that comes creating a new creature to anything else. In the past I've sewn them for friends, but now as I've been trying to find a job I can't help thinking how amazing it would be to make a living off them. The plushies below are the templates I'm thinking about designing a line around. You can see more pictures and info at www.weeofmanycolors.weebly.com. I would love to hear any comments or advice you have for me!

Lucy with Flower

Made from repurposed and reclaimed fabric, Lucy is dressed in a grey plaid schooldress with Irish linen collar. She wears a scarf with green and red plaid.
Lucy's flower is a dark smokey purple bloom with sage green leaves. Her face is hand embroidered. Her hair is auburn wool felt with embroidery. She is stuffed with polyfil and bamboo . Legs are free swinging, arms are tacked into place. The doll does not stand alone, but will sit when propped. Size is 12 inches tall and 7 inches wide.

Dancy, a friend made from socks

“I AM THE ATOMIC POWERED ROBOT. PLEASE GIVE MY BEST WISHES TO EVERYBODY.”

There’s Dancy, stomping around with his ears in front of his face. He does this all the time. He flips his long, long ears over the front of his face, until they hit the ground. He can’t even see. Then he brings his curly red tail around the top of his head too, and pretends it’s a laser beam or something. Then he walks all over the room, proclaiming loudly who he is and what he wants to do. Today he is apparently a robot. He’s now repeated that line six times in the time it’s taken me to write this. Yesterday he was “THE LILY OF NEW PHILLY.” I don’t have any idea what that meant. But he wanted everyone to “TAKE A NUMBER, TAKE A SEAT.” Tomorrow he’ll probably be some sort of dinosaur or astronaut. Maybe a dinosaur astronaut.

Hey, Dancy, anything to say your new friends? “YES. TELL THEM I AM THE ATOMIC POWERED ROBOT.” Great. Well, dear friend, here’s the (ahem) atomic…powered…robot.

A Sustained Life (Dolls for Friends)

We've been working diligently on getting our next group of pieces ready for the upcoming 2nd Sunday Sustainability Fair being held in Portland on February 10.

We were approached by the fair and asked if we would like to represent using pieces made from reclaimed and recycled materials. Since nearly all of our pieces are in some way using reclaimed materials, we thought this would be a great opportunity to get out, meet some people, talk about what we're doin' and share some DFF love.

If you're PDX local and in the city on the 10th, swing by the booth cause we'd love to hear from you.
