can't wait to see them!

I bought that same stuffing from Purl, but I have mixed feelings about it. It stuffs up quite dense which can be good, but since it's all natural cotton there is A LOT of rubbish (small bits of grass, twig etc.) in it. This will probably be okay if you're using heavier and/or darker cloth, but it kept poking through and making shadows with thinner lighter stuff. I found myself spending hours picking out the garbage.

oohhh it all sounds so mysterious and lovely! can't wait!

You take the greatest pictures EVER! :)

Hello! I think I missed the update. Did someone say this new stuffing material is made of 100% cotton? You also wrote new fabric combinations are being used, and also sewing techniques. I'm really curious to know what you meant :)
