A tiny bolster for a doll’s house

I’ve just uploaded a cute new doll’s house bolster kit to my website – the design is called ‘Barbara (green)’. You can’t really tell from the picture, but it’s about two inches long! The bolster kit is for twelfth scale doll’s houses (i.e adult collectors’ scale), and is to be stitched on 32 count silk gauze. The kit contains everything you need to complete the bolster – the silk gauze fabric, Anchor stranded cotton threads, stuffing, colour block chart (the design is not printed on the fabric), and detailed instructions.

Here are some other bolster designs that are also available –

If you would like to see exactly how to put this kit together (including how to make the tiny tassels!), then take a look at the Tutorial on my website, which shows you what to do.

The January Sale is still on, so if you buy this kit before 1st February, then there’s 10% off the usual price (£11.65 instead of £12.95). P&P is free worldwide on any order of £10 or more.

Finished embroidery: a tiny bellpull and bolster cushion

‘Tabriz’ doll’s house scale bellpull and bolster cushion

This is my latest design, which I’ve done so far as a bellpull and a bolster cushion, on 32 count silk gauze. It’s called ‘Tabriz’. I’m also working on a carpet to co-ordinate with these, which will be for 18 count canvas, but that’s not quite ready yet 🙂

The bellpull is 4 1/2 inches long, and the bolster cushion is 1 1/2 inches long and 5/8 inches diameter. Both of them are stitched in needlepoint (like half cross stitch) using one strand of Anchor stranded cotton. The bellpull kits are £9.95 each, and the bolster cushion kits are £12.95 each.

Kits for each of them are available from my website  – for bellpulls look here, and for bolster cushions, look here. There are free online tutorials for each type of miniature needlepoint kit (and many others) – see here for details.
