This mermaid is so cute! I bought it for my daughter and I'm sure she'll grow up treasuring this.

Thank you Simone ~ Elf doll is so lovely ~It is not only the fact she is beautifully made but I can feel the love that went into making her. Amazed by her hand painted face and the care that is obvious in each stitch. She is so sweet and will be loved by the recipient very much. Thank you for your wonderful service. Much appreciated. M

These dolls are exquisite! I wanted to purchase hand made toys for my daughter due in November and I could not be more ecstatic about these dolls. The quality is 5⭐️, they stitching appears to be 100x more durable than any of the dolls you buy at the commercial stores. The patterns are so cute too! I can see my daughter taking these dolls with her everywhere!! I absolutely love them! Thank you @simonesewsit

A call to arms.... literally. Twenty four little arms waiting to be stuffed.
Painting faces an be so much fun!
Happy little mermaids sunning themselves at the beach.
Just waiting for our dresses to he done. Loving our hot pink panties!
A happy stack of doll dresses waiting for their turn at the sewing machine.

Half a century of sewing and still going strong!

Thanks so much for spending a minute with me.

My very first sewing project was a pillow quilt I sewed by hand for a Brownie badge. I made it for my Barbie. I was 6. That same year each of my grandmothers infected me with crafting and it has stuck. My maternal grandmother taught me how to knit and my paternal grandmother taught me how to crochet. Then I found out how much fun sewing on a treadle sewing machine was and soon my Mom had a new apron and both my sisters had skirts. It has never stopped... and I am happy about that.

I live in a corner of paradise here in Nelson BC. The forest, the valley, the sweet clean river and the painted lady heritage houses inspire me every day. I call it the cleavage of heaven for good reason. I feel lucky to be here.

I work with my family at our thrift store.... 7 thousand square feet of stuff! Every day we are faced with what to do with hundreds items and we are dedicated recyclers. Bits of fabric, lace, odd balls of yarn, buttons, thread... it all comes through my hands and it gets my juices flowing.

Crafting and recycling is a family affair. My co-conspirator is my daughter who eggs me on, keeps me tec savvy and nurtures my entrepreneurial spirit. Her shop can be found at https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/AvivasDesignsCanada
