DIY Liberty Fabric Mermaids- a fun present for little ones!

In between packing orders and speaking with all of our lovely customers I'm trying to finish up my own Christmas shopping. This last week before Christmas is slightly quieter than the past few weeks so it is a good time to start on a homemade present for my daughters. I love to sew, and my daughters love arts and crafts. Last year they became very interested in looking for stuffed animal patterns on Etsy that we could download and sew at home. I first spotted the MerMae pattern on the Hawthorne Threads blog (a wonderful website if you like fabric), and decided to make one for each of my daughters for Christmas.

Sewing the dolls was a wonderful way to relax and unwind after they went to bed each night and they loved them. You may recognize some of the prints they chose as fabrics used for our Liberty of London Pajamas and Printed Portuguese Flannel Pajamas. If you are looking for a DIY present you can buy the pattern here and download it instantly. Happy Sewing!

Here are all three together, the one in the middle has some lipgloss on and received a haircut, but generally they held up very well! So cute. I love them.
