Holly Hobby Tatting and Sewing kit!



A Pinterest challenge that Suzanne started, and Margaret encouraged because the rules are very easy.  I made a "Holly Hobbie" tatting  and sewing case! I wanted to apply tatting and needed little break.


She is not finished but here is a peak, I will make a PFD of felt cut outs if anyone is interested.

With tidbits of tatting  (hearts are great for scissors) and the needle case tatting is from a trial of one of Wanda's beautiful edgings called Emma in white. 
Under her head.... 

hides the thimble will place snap here on tab later. 

This simple tiny edging is A Josephine knot of 8 half stitches and followed by a chain of 3 double stitches picot  and 3 double stitches no flipping. can use two colors and if when pulling the JS closed, you stretch out the thread, continue with the chain and it somehow fixes itself like magic :)
I am adding this to her hat and bottom of skirt too! 
 Also for fun and adult coloring, I found this web-sight for free picture click on " Holly Hobby color page"
Have a wonderful sunday

    What an adorable idea , doll & execution ! And functional, too :-)
    I didn't know this had a name - I have some beautiful greeting cards with her ....

    The pinterest challenge was really tempting, but I had/still have too much to dip into another project/commitment. But I have it in mind for next year ( I hope they continue ) :-)
