Lucy Goose ...........
........ and her Plum Pudding!! OK, I know you’ve probably all done with Christmas for another year, but I just had to show you my Christmas Goose. I did start her before Christmas, but the festive season, together with a good dose of lethargy got in the way and I’ve only just finished her. I enjoyed making her and the body was relatively easy to put together, although I had a hell of a game trying to work out how to make her dress though. In the end, I made the body of the dress separately, then I sewed the wings, with the sleeves on them round her back and that seems to have worked well enough. The plum pudding was easy and fun to make – the berries are some lovely matt glass beads that I’ve had for years (knew they would come in useful eventually!!) A shame, but I suppose I shall have to put her away until next Christmas now!!
wow Julia...she looks great! Leave her out a bit longer and enjoy her! Jo xo

ReplyDeleteHia I saw you at Deb's the import duty is for fabric over £18 coming in or £36 if a gift. Some etsy sellers are happy to "fudge" the unfair import duty. Check their shop policies.
