Jean-Michel Basquiat sewn artwork

 

Something a bit different!

I was asked to make a custom made sewn artwork of one of 

Jean-Michel Basquiat's paintings.

Love this style so much!

Jane Austen custom doll

 

Another custom doll ::

this time its Jane Austen.

She wears a vintage linen skirt and a linen lined bonnet.

With a gorgeous blue jacket.

Something different and a challenge as I haven't made a bonnet before!

New custom dolls

 

Two new custom made dolls going off to their new homes!

Let me know if you were after a custom doll and we can discuss the options..

Custom cacti shoe clips

A custom order that I have never been asked for before!

Some beaded cacti shoe clips for a ladies wedding shoes..

free motion sewn onto gold and green fabric, gold bar 

and tiny green beads hand sewn and wool rug flowers to finish them off!

I Dream of Jeannie

Here is my latest custom made doll.

Oh my goodness, she was so difficult to make!

The sheer pink fabric was a nightmare.

All the trim is free motion sewn.

I do love her now.x

Custom order doll

Here is my latest custom order doll, taken from an old toddler photo 

and will be given to herself as an adult! So much fun to make and such a character! 

Email me at jennie.alittlevintage@gmail.com

if you would like a custom order doll. 

They can be made from your own sentimental fabrics including old baby clothes or special items from Grandparents cupboards etc.x

Blue

This custom order was something a bit different.

I was asked to make a textile art of a book cover for the author's birthday!

I used free motion sewing and also fabric paint for the leaves, eyes and lipstick.

It was alot of fun to do, but very time consuming!

Linda, Ned and Queen Bee

 

 Linda Burney

 

 

 

 Ned Kelly

 

Beyonce

Another three commissioned dolls for the installation later this year!

These have been such a great challenge, keeping me awake at night for sure.

Linda Burney's cloak is made from faux suede with free form fabric paint.

Ned Kelly has his slicked back hair, long beard and removable helmet!

And Beyonce - well - she was the most difficult..

Making three of each doll has taken a while,

  it will be surreal to go back to making only one at a time!
