I got a huge boxful of pillows from a kind JTer and from others some fabric, buttons and other bits and bobs. Here are a few of the things I made from them :)
I'll add more photos when finished with the other projects.

Thank you very much! Hope the stamps were enough. I'll put up a pick of what I made of it when finished :) Hope I won't fail with it...

I made this teddy for my elder daughter using up the remains of old trousers and a ribbon and embroidery thread I got on JT. The heart is made from a torn tight.

Wow they are really lovely, doing a massive house declutter so if I come across anything will keep you in mind,
If you ever set up a business of selling them let me know as they would be lovely gifts for my neices
Keep up the great work!

I used a machine for most of the stitches, but a lot on the clothes is done by hand. I learned to sew while making them :) Never done anything before.
Thanks :)

Thank you very much, I would be delighted with them! Sorry for the late reply, I was away for a month with my daughters. :)

Thanks shibo! :) I did sell one that I made from new materials, and from that money I bought more new fabrics ;)

Hi paprika, they are so cute - you should really think about setting up a business

Did you have a thread in the wanted section recently for more fabric? I have some old cotton PJ bottoms which have nice patterns and also some children's denim shorts and cord trousers which the elastic has gone out of which I could send on to you if you were interested? PM me your address if so.

Thank you siri! I'm actually trying to set up a business, I use the JT freebies for practice and to make things for myself (and to put up on my blog :) ) and make toys and decorations from new materials. Gearing up for Christmas already, really placing all hopes in the Christmas markets!!

I do have a wanted thread and I'm really grateful for all fabric, buttons, ribbons and other bits and bobs. I'll pm you now ;)

OMG they are fab.... could you please send me the link for pattern as trying to teach my 7 year old to sew and these would be brilliant as with so many parties coming up would make great gifts especially if she had a hand in making them...

Keep up the great work.

Paprika, you are so talented. I've always been short on sewing skills but wouldn't mind giving one of these a go just to see how I get on. Would you put up the link to the pattern here on JT for all your fans please?

You couldn't mean me surely, - maybe you mean mbd? Ha! That would be going too far for me methinks! I had an elderly but very alert and 'crafty' relative visiting today to help me with some sewing - she is still laughing at my methods!!! She's 'old school' and is expert in fourteen crafts (she counted them!!). What must she be thinking of me?(sigh!).
