Doorstop Dumpy Owl Twit-twoo Happy Easter to You! :-)

Doorstop Dumpy Owl Twit-twoo Happy Easter to You! 🙂

My newest creation is ready just in time to wish everyone Happy Easter weekend!

This striking stripy character doorstop owl has been made from a coordinating selection of brown and cream cotton print fabrics. Adjusting the pattern I created for my own range of doorstops, I cleverly stitched the eyes and beak in such a way that it can move around and look at you with those big button eyes from different angles. So cute! 🙂

To decorate the character owl doorstop I used a selection of trims and buttons, some vintage and some brand new and finished it off with a lovely rich brown fabric tie with a shiny button stud.

As with all my new range of doorstops they are now shippable to anywhere in the world.  A simple solution to the weight shipping costs and customs restriction problem (Import restrictions in some countries don’t allow for earth/soils/grit) solved by the new owner simply unzipping the base removing the inner zipped bag, which can then be filled with a weighting element, (sand/grit/stone etc) replaced, zipped back up again and a perfect character doorstop ready to keep those doors open to let summer in! I pay the postage so you can add the weight!

“Anyone seen my Lily Pad? It was about this big!”

This Frog ‘Doorstop Dumpy’ was made from the pattern I designed. It was made out of green cottons and patch worked together. I added some coordinating ribbon around the waist  and used old buttons for the Frog’s eyes and to decorated the ribbon. As finishing touches I made a tongue and dragonfly out of fascinate r fabrics. This character ‘Doorstop Dumpy’ will hold back any standard door and decorate your room too!

This is another of My ‘Doorstop Dumpies’ I designed the pattern for. This little tartan pig will certainly hold back any standard door. For interest I made him  a flat cap, and added some coordinating ribbon around his tummy and as a tie. The final touches were adding old buttons for a snout, eyes and colourful decoration and a brass ring on his nose!

As ever no two doorstops are ever the same making them unique!

Is it wise to stay awake ALL night?

This is one of my unique cushion covers with an owl I designed, no two are ever the same. Maybe the buttons are different or the fabric cut to different sizes in the borders, or stars in different place, I never entirely or exactly  reproduce a handmade piece.

I hand appliquéd pieces of felt onto a navy blue spotty cotton fabric, which gives a good night time feel then added felt stars and moon. Hand quilted it simply and added old buttons for a finishing touch!

Frog 'Doorstop Dumpy'

Frog ‘Doorstop Dumpy’

I have been designing and creating patterns for what I have called my ‘Doorstop Dumpies’. Sizeable and weighty little decorative characters for a practical purpose. Each and everyone – UNIQUE!

Meet my green, spotty, cotton fabric, frog ‘Doorstop Dumpy’ creation – Fredrick. Decorated with old buttons for eyes and around his waist trim, this rather handsome chap, dressed to the nines, has collar and velvet bow tie. He’s quite literally dressed to impress as he holds open the door for you whilst greeting you with a red ribbon rose!
