Dottie angel

some days when Mr Sun won't shine and Mr Blah seems all around, i am thinking it quite nice to have a reminder of how to 'perky up' the day. now some may say "how Tif, could a tea towel possibly perky up my day?" and usually i would be inclined to agree, although saying that, there are so many tea towels out in 'tea towel world' doing a grand job at cheering up a nest or two. however this perfectly peachy pair of over sized tea towels are tres clever, not only do they have the ability to…

Last summer, it seemed like the Dottie Angel Frock pattern was everywhere. All the knitting podcasters and bloggers were suddenly sewing, and this was their go-to pattern. There were sew-alongs, tutorials, Instagram posts, a host of Dottie Angels populating the internet! So, of course, I wanted a Dottie Angel frock. I made quite a few of my own clothes in high school and college after my mother taught me to sew. She made most of my and my sister's clothes when we were kids, mainly to save…

What a wonderful day of inspiration and crafting! Filled with ideas from our dearest Dottie Angel we got together for a glorious day of retrofabric, doilies, cookies, tea and clogs. Since it´s a little far for us to cross the pond for a workshop we simply decided to have one on our own. Anna, Clara and I easily could have spent a week together! At least we decided that when (not if - when) we win the lottery (or eventually when we retire) we will definately create a crafters paradise in an…

You know who dottie angel is, don't you? She lives over at mossy shed and has the most beautiful crafty life. Here's a little video to introduce you: Click HERE Please THE Tif Fussell I've admired Tif Fussell for an awfully long time. You can find her on Instagram @dottieangel. So when I found out that she had created a pattern of her famous dottie angel frock for Simplicity Patterns, I was first in line. In fact, this may be one of the few sewing patterns that I've bought lately for which…

I've been asked by Daisy to blog about the crafty day I spent with Tif and Rachelle (aka dottie angel and Ted and Agnes) last July. Quite happy to ramble on about it to anyone who cares to still listen so here goes my take on that day.... Once upon a time the lovely Louise of Hope and Elvis sent an email out to say she would be running a crafty day with the two most lovely crafty blogging people ever; much giddiness occured in this household and many others over the country as we awaited the…

I've run into this charming floral smock here and there on the internet; it's from an Etsy shop called Dottie Angel. It's not curre...

I don’t usually sew dresses, because my lifestyle has no place for them, but I liked the quaint styling of this one. I thought it might be a good garden dress, for doing light garden chores…

Simplicity Misses' Dress or Tunic by Dottie Angel 1080 pattern review by Mint Chocolate Chick

i thought today would be the most perfect day to talk about my up and coming workshop. ("why is that Tif?" i hear you ask) and that is indeed a very good question, why today of all days is it the day to talk of such things. well firstly, because it is raining and dull outside, secondly, because it's been a while since i dropped it into the conversation and quite honestly if i am going to fill my dottie angel dearie places i need to do some 'blabbing' and thirdly, what could possibly brighten…

i do not have any 'small beings' lying around my shed. i have plenty of 'little critters' and 'large beings' but that would not do. as luck would have it, i found myself a perfectly perfect 'small being' on tuesday, courtesy of a fine friend and her shed. photo credited to fine friend photo credited to fine friend photo credited to fine friend gosh darn it, after going cold turkey for 3 months, she has broken down and is back on 'chocolate spread on white toast' again ~ Tif

dottie angel: peachy frock news ...

i fear i have painted my DOUBTER in rather a poor light. if indeed he stepped onto the stage right now, i'm thinking a ripple amongst the crowd may result in some boo-ing... so please allow me to correct the wrong i have made. for my DOUBTER is perhaps worthy of way more than a gold sticky star, he has stuck by my side near on 25 years and he does not doubt in any way that buying second hand is a good and proper thing to do, no sirree! his doubting ways come into play concerning my rather…
