The Etta Dames Collection

Atttt Laaast... I completed a few of the first dolls of a new collection I started. As I was finishing up on the last doll, and trying to think of a name for the collection, I was listening to one of my favorite artists, Etta James. And then it hit me; since these dolls have a little vintage flair, and since the beloved Etta James was inspiring me as I sewed, why not name them after her? Thus, (drum roll please), introducing the Etta Dames Collection.

Each doll is handmade by me, and each has her own sweet look. I love playing around with patterns and try to combine interesting colors together. So, even though I try to make these felt dolls look vintage, I also try to combine trendy colors of today--to add color to any child's nursery or kid's room decor.

I love taking custom orders, so if there is a color combo you'd love to see, please leave comments below or visit my shop and message me.

I think these dolls are so fun, and addictive--can anyone say collection?! As the famous Etta James once sang..."And then the spell was cast..."

Enter to Win a Fairy Doll Pattern by Min & Moots!

I was so excited when Claudia from Crafty Wool Felt approached me to ask me to be a guest curator for her felt shop. If you haven't been to her shop, and you are a crafter, you MUST check it out. She carries the largest selection of premium wool felt in such gorgeous, vibrant colors. 

The felt is very sturdy, yet soft. It is perfect for all your craft projects, such as my doll patterns :)

To celebrate this joint venture, I am having a contest. One lucky winner will receive either a pattern OR (for those of you who do not sew) a finished doll. It's very simple to enter. Each step you do provides one "entry". 

1) Step 1: Follow me on Instagram: Minandmoots
2) Step 2: Like me on Facebook: www.Facebook.com/MinandMoots
3) Step 3: Comment on this post, indicating which item you'd prefer (pattern or finished doll)

Winner will be selected on Wednesday, January 28, 8 PM EST.

Good luck!

Happy Cute New Year! I apologize for being absent the last few months. Life got very busy for me the latter part of 2014--new job, adjusting to my son going to kindergarten, many new orders in my shop. But, one of my resolutions for 2015 is to do my best at keeping up to date with my social media for Min & Moots.
