Lotta Jansdotter Doorstop

Our dog, Chewbacca, kept shutting himself in my studio when we wern't home, so I made this doorstop from a pattern in Lotta Jansdotter's simple sewing and a fabric scrap I have been toting around for about six years (I knew I'd find the perfect project for it someday!)

Golden Age of Couture

Unfortunately, I won't be getting to London anytime soon, so I will have to miss the Victoria and Albert Musuem's "The Golden Age of Couture". But at least I was still living near Boston when Paris Fashion Shows exhibit was on display. Check out this link:
