Sewing in mini

December 4, 2018

I entered this mini room box in a real life size sewing contest. I didn’t win, but it was a lot of fun putting the scene together.
——
Linus is the Fabricworm mascot, and everyone entering had to use this fabric for their entry. I’ve made a set of building block pillows to feature Linus and his inchworm form (yep, these are available in my etsy shop). 

Finn is napping after wearing himself out with the yarn.

The Bodo Hennig sewing machine is one of my favorite minis. You can lift the presser foot to place fabric underneath.

I didn’t get my high powered readers out to see if I could thread it, but I wouldn’t doubt it. Maybe next time….

A relatively recent acquisition are these pinking shears by Frank Matter. They open on a tiny hinge pin.

They have chipped paint just like my real life originals, which is a detail I adore.

Look at those tiny teeth!

Finn was made by JMDS, and I made the divan from a pattern in Dolls’ House Furniture: Easy-to-make projects in 1/12 scale by Freida Gray.

Jennifer at aMusingMiniatures custom made the seam roll for me. It’s simply perfect, just like the real deal! I made the fabric bolts and purchased the thimble and needles from Vilia Miniatures at the local shows.

The fabric also has some nice close-ups of Linus, so I’ve made those as well.  :]

Additional notes: I believe the sea painting is from Barbara, likely an estate mini; it is signed S Bedu 2005. I made the fabric bulletin board and most of the patterns displayed. The adjustable stool is by Boutique Miniatures, and the rug is from Iklectic Kollectibles. The fish pot is by Barbara Begley Miniature Gardens.  I made the snake plant and sofa.
