Muslin Cloths

New to Little Sparrow are some beautiful hand dyed muslin cloths.
They can wrap your baby in divine colour, so soft and ethereal, or be used in all kinds of imaginative play!
I remember my kids tieing them around their heads and running down the beach as mermaids with long rainbow hair!
2 colour/2 metre $20.00
6 colour/3 metre $39.95

Term 2 Workshops

Lillie’s Doll

This blue-eyed nudie is off shortly to live with her new friend Lillie.
Actually she does have clothes!…a sweet little smock with rosebuds on it and some flanelette bloomers too.
Little Lillie sits up cleverly all by herself, her button jointed limbs allow her to wave and cuddle too.
Custom orders like this doll are available all the time from Special Freinds Dolls.
$165 only at Little Sparrow!


my man hates chenille…

This was my stash or actually just part of my stash that had slowly but ever so steadily taken over all the space in our office at home…..no i stand corrected “my ddh’s office!”

I have started to re-assign this wonderful fabric to the shop, so now there are all sorts of vintage patterns and colours in good size pieces for big projects and many 24cm squares for quilting.

For a long time now i have been making dolls, quilts and cushions, oh and the odd item of clothing for the kids before they decided it looked “too hippy mum!”

In at Little Sparrow at the moment there are Cushions with vintage style cotton fabrics and chenille $62 (with duck feather/foam inner)
There are neat little quilt sets in Moses Baskets $49.95
Cuddly Baby Dolls $44 made from chenille of course…
Dear little softies made by Leah, a kindred chenille hoarder!

There is so much to make and so little time!!!!



Post office and beyond…..

This box of dollies is off to Castlemaine today to the beautiful Penny’s Shop – RudolfSteiner.com
There are a few more to go….but had to do some boring bookwork for a bit, so the rest will head off next week

Another……. Cot Blanket

I just love crocheting.
This blanket is made in tones of Autumn in anticipation of the new season. (I’m a little sick if this Summer, it hasn’t really been much fun!)
Perfect for the pram, cot or just cuddling on the couch with Nan and a good book!
Pure wool and all hand-made
$200.00
