Inspired by vintage toys and memories of treasured teddies, Sarah makes beautiful bags, animals and dolls using an old 1920's Singer treadle sewing machine.
Her gorgeous antique looking bear, elephant and fox terrier were stitched, stuffed and hand dyed before being gently baked in the oven! Sarah sands her "dolls" to create a careworn look and hand finishes each unique toy using antique boot button eyes, vintage mother of pearl buttons and often a rusty bell.
Check out her Folksy shop Northfield Primitives for more examples of her past and present work.
