Meet Dolly……..
Meet the newest addition to my sewing room, her name is Dolly {yes I name all my major items in my sewing room} Isnt she just divine?! I have been hankering after a dress makers dummy for years!! One of my habby shops had them out on special & my wonderful hubby took me shopping!!! 
She is fully adjustable from a size 10 to 16 height adjustable & also has a hem marker for nice straight even hems! I cant wait to try her out.
I did unpack her when we got her home to check her out & see how she worked but she has gone back into the box for now, lots of Sewing Fairy orders on the go but once they are clear I will be bringing her out again & making some thing for me
Happy Sewing
Tina
I-Spy with my little eye
Hello Everyone,
Things have been busy here in the Fairy Den. Lots of sewing & embroidering happening which means new products for you!!
First up I have redesigned our Burp Cloths, they are still the same great shape & size BUT they are now more absorbent having 3 layers to them now & the new design looks soooooo groovy. You will be the hippest Mum out there! Even better I have put them on special for the next week 
Secondly I have released our NEW I-Spy bags. What’s an I-Spy bag you say?
Well an I-Spy Bag is a fun, fleece bean bag with a see-through window. Each bag is filled with non-toxic polypropylene pellets, unlike others that use rodent attracting rice or wheat, in which 25 assorted goodies are hidden inside. Then kids manipulate the bag moving the pellets to find the items. These are discounted by $5 for a limited new release special time
Lastly don’t forget to enter our April competition where you can win your very own Stab’Em doll.
Until next time
Your Sewing Fairy

SanPac’s
Hello everyone,
I have a new product that will delight both mothers & daughters a like!
How many times have you dug to the bottom of your handbag or school bag to find the covers on your tampons or sanitary pads have come adrift & they are now sporting bits of fluff, crumbs & anything else that decides to stick to them? These products are pricey enough without having to throw them away unused.
Or have you had your delightful young children find them in your bag at the most inappropraite moment holding them up for everyone to see while asking in their loudest voices MUUUUUUUUM whats this for????
Remember back to school & at some stage of your school life they have fallen out of your bag, or locker right when the coolest bunch of boys in the school walk by!! Oh the embarassment.
This is where our new SanPacs come to the rescue. They are a funky little pouch designed to hold pads, tampons or a combination of both.
With the disaster that has hit our Victorian residents The Sewing Fairy is donating all profits fof salees for the next month from today 12th Feb 2008 until the 12th March 2009 to the Victorian Wildlife Rescue if you would like to make a further donation follow the prompts on their home page.

Christmas Stocking
Recently a lovely lady from All For Women contacted me about a personalised Christmas stocking for her nephew Owen. Last year I did personalised stockings but with the rush leading up to Christmas I never actually got them onto The Sewing Fairy site & with many people leaving them to the last minute to order can you believe I actually forgot to take photos!!!! But I did take photos of Owens before it left the Fairy Den.
The whole stocking made from red velvet & white fur
Close up of the name embroidery only 1 style of many available
Detail on the ‘toe’ section of the stocking, stitched in metallic gold thread.
I have some more Christmas ideas up my sleeve & will be test stiching them very soon. Keep an eye out for further posts & pics After all there is only
Hugs
