Finger Puppets once more

In this post, I'm going to round up all the posts I've done on finger puppets so they are all in one place. But this is also a bit of an update.

This first one provides you with some templates for finger puppets

The next one has some Easter finger puppets, but also has some techniques and tips for making  them.

And this one has some other finger puppets, and starts to tell you about how finger puppets can be used in games for little people. 

For an update, and how to weave stories around finger puppets, read on.

Tiny Tulip and Pattern Review

Rose loves unicorns and rainbows type of fabric, so it was clear that I'd be using this fabric she had chosen for her Christmas dress this year. But we need sleeves for our Christmas dresses, and so few patterns have sleeves, especially long sleeves. Then I found P4P's free Tiny Tulip T shirt, which has a long sleeve option. I thought that would be pretty easy to convert into a dress with a couple of layers in the skirt. She loves it, and has worn it at every available opportunity since (until she got her new birthday dress - but she still loves this one).

Sweet Rose dresses - pattern review

One of my new favourite free patterns is the Sweet Rose Dress from Life Sew Savory. This was so easy to cut out and make up, even with the more challenging fabrics I'd chosen.
