About
About me
I sew on a wooden porch above the water in Bocas del Toro, with the rain coming across in the afternoon and a doll or two drying on the rail. My grandmother made me my first doll from flour-sack cloth, and I have been sewing them ever since.
I draw every pattern myself, sew the doll, then draw it again. Each pattern lists the pieces and the stitches, so you know what you are taking on. I share a new post every week, and a new pattern comes out most months.
