This fruit and Veggies 'Felt Story Folder' was such fun to make - I definitely got carried away with the detail. The cauliflower set the standard as it was the first item I made, so the other felt pieces had to follow suit. I was thrilled to sell the folder to a lovely mum of twin boys that I met on Colette's sewing course at the Bronte Sewing Room. It's always good when I know that my products are being used by boys as well as girls (redressing the 'gorgeous gifts for girls' versus 'plastic toys for boys' balance). As the Mum of a five year old boy myself I know they often get the short straw when it comes to handmade products, it's why I insist on making a boys version of everything I make...
I live in Sydney by the sea with my family. This blog is about my creative life at home now and the things that inspire me along the way. I make things using a combination of sewing and upholstery techniques (for some examples go to my site at JudyFosterHome.com) I sometimes use cardboard. When I was little I adored the freedom and time I had to be creative. I have great childhood memories of playing with scraps of fabric. I like things that inspire children to make their own world too. So I make things to do just that. I used to dream of new creative ideas as a girl and I still do...but now I make them too!
