The Stakes Are High

On October 22, 2021March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Sewing and Crafts11 Comments

I'm sure you've seen these before. Known as plant stakes, fairy sticks, fairy wands, I knew I had to try making some as soon as I saw them. While I sincerely doubt there are any fairies in my garden, (or faeries, if you are keeping up with Chris Hall's latest story from Luna's Online), I …

“Misc. Sewing” Part 1

On May 15, 2020May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Sewing and Crafts14 Comments

If you're like me... ...you probably have all kinds of folders (one of which might be named "Misc Sewing")  on your computer desktop, waiting to be used for that one future blog post. Or maybe they are there so you can find them easily, rather than going through you whole "Pictures" file. Also, if you're …

Second Childhood Part 3

On November 5, 2019March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Sewing and Crafts7 Comments

Or should it be "Third Childhood"? I was going to name this post "Second Childhood, Part 2", but then I realized I've already written that one! So what else makes someone decide they really need a little animal family to make clothes for? I guess it's Second Childhood, Part 3!After a friend whose daughter has …

Peg Dolls!

On September 10, 2019May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Sewing and Crafts6 Comments

Who knew you could make dolls out of wooden pegs? Well I must not have, because when I did see these adorable crafts on Pinterest they were an immediate "must try" item for me. I guess peg dolls weren't something I had really thought about before. I love their simplicity and variety, but most of …

Not Too Shabby

On July 26, 2019March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Sewing and Crafts12 Comments

I can't say I've ever really been into "shabby chic"... I mean, it's cute and all, but it's just not "me". But when I got the idea to use up fabric by making a "rag rug" I soon realized I had entered into the "Shabby Zone"... One of the first things I usually do when …

You Can’t Have Too Many…

On November 30, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Sewing and Crafts

You've heard the phrase "You can't be too rich or too thin," right? Well, I have never agreed with either part of that saying, and neither have Foster and Panda. But there are some things you definitely can't have enough (or too many) of, and we will be addressing that here. You can see if …

A Doll Clothes Experiment

On November 29, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Sewing and Crafts10 Comments

What to get that little girl for Christmas? Doll clothes, of course! I've been reading up a little bit about WordPress and its capabilities for online sales. And since I have so many 18-inch doll clothes in my sewing room, waiting for the opportunity to become part of  "Debra Kay's Online Doll Clothes Emporium" (heretofore …

Babies!

On September 21, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Sewing and Crafts

What could be more fun than babies? The answer is simple: More babies!Which brings me to one of the projects I did with "my girls" over the summer. ("Second Childhood, Part 2" was another fun one, in case you missed it.)You may remember that I showed you all these baby socks awhile back, when I was …

Second Childhood, Part 2

On August 27, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Sewing and Crafts

How many of us loved paper dolls as kids? Probably, most of us. But how many of us still have those paper dolls? Or, at least their clothes? Most likely that number would be a bit smaller, dare I say, narrowed down to the same people who would still have this tiny troll doll with no …

A Friend for Belle

On August 3, 2018May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Sewing and Crafts

So Mom brought home this box... Hi, this is Foster, reporting on our latest online purchase. Mom said I could do this post because after all, I love boxes, and it came in a box.We'll start with the most important part...the BOX! Of course I helped Mom open the box, as I always do. But …
