Merlin Cloth Doll
His scarf was made from a little piece of soft, hand-dyed fabric which I found amongst our vast collection of fabric.
His lovely, scruffy brown jacket was made from an old pair of jogging trousers. His blue shirt was made from a some left over fabric which had been used to cover a cushion made for bobbin lace making. And his woven belt was made from a brown shoelace.
Merlin's trousers were made from a brown pillow case bought in the pound shop!
His little boots are my favourite. I bought some chamios leather. It was lovely and soft and easy to work with. As it was a patchwork square it had the correct homemade look for a servant's boots. However it was bright yellow! So I painted all the pieces with fabric dye before sewing together.
