Wee fabric house

Small house for big dreams...


I made this little (6" tall) fabric house from new and upcycled fabrics. I wanted it to look very hobbit-like; a quaint little Pixie dwelling. Though it took a long time, it was fun to make, and hand-stitching the details was my favourite part (so zen!). I could have easily gotten carried away and pimped it out even more (shutters, curtains on the inside, more flowers: perhaps some climbing roses?). In real life, I think this little house would be one of these; specifically this one! 






This is the first one I've ever made, but I have plans for future wee fabric houses, perhaps with dormers, chimneys, and I've even contemplated turrets. Someone's going to have to stop me when I start thinking about moats and drawbridges...


The elephant "poster" is a fabric scrap from Umbrella prints.
