she would dream..... {bleed through}

she would dream of green hair

she would question and wonder; she would never be the norm.....

and she would be on fabric; dreaming outside of the box- she would not want to be limited to paper alone

she would allow her green-haired personality to bleed through with this side only to be seen by a few

sewingswag {custom bags}

do you know that i sew?.... almost becoming a lost art now a days; but me......

i come from a long line of seamstresses. both of my grammas sewed as well as my mom. 

clothes, furniture slip covers- they did it all. and they did it superbly. if i could describe the shirt i wanted, my gramma could sew it for me without a pattern.

i used to sew clothes for my kiddos when they were little, but as they grew up- (and they could voice their own opinion), slowly that changed.

then i found sewing on paper..... and love that almost as much as sewing on fabric. i don't hesitate for a moment to go and throw my paper under the sewing machine.

 but i have found a bit of a balance however between art and sewing in the form of bags and my dolls (current doll i am working on).

both the bags and dolls make great gifts and i am always open to custom orders. size, color, lined with plastic, maybe no plastic....you tell me. 

happy friday.

sewingswag {art doll-listed}

this art doll would be handmade and sewn in typical kristin fashion. her face is a mix of mediums and a cheek of triangle cream fleece.

i love the cream and black stripes and her cute pea-pod like legs. and those weren't a bitch to stuff at all! just kidding....they were a huge pain in the butt. aren't they cute?!

seriously though......anyone have any great ways to stuff skinny legs?

she is approximately 13" from the top of her head to the longest leg. her body fabric is a mix of repurposed clothing tag and a scrap of hand dyed fabric.

she is newly listed in my etsy store here.

she would be small and somewhat fragile sometimes; she would be left out and forgotten
