Jack may have the size advantage (he stands around 50 cm or 20" tall, but Mardi is the brains of the outfit - not just a pretty head on a stick!

Available as pattern, finished doll complete with internal stand or kit (kit includes pattern, stand and all materials needed to make Jack)

Wally was inspired by the magnificent wood choppers appearing each year at Sydney's Royal Easter Show and at other similar shows around Australia (and around the world)

Wally is needlesculpted and hand painted with trupunto muscles. He wears a traditional singlet plus white trousers, canvas boots and stretch undies. His fingers are wired so he can grasp his axe and he has an internal wire armature for either sitting on his log or standing beside it.

Precious really looks fierce, but he is all bluff and is just trying out his scare power. He can be made from almost any of the wonderful fabrics around today - including glitzy sequins, cottons velvets and glittery stretch lycra.

Precious is about 9-10" (22-25cms)depending on the stretch of the fabric, and has wire armature to help him stand tall. His eyes can be beads, sequins, stones or even those little glass flat stones you put in the bottom of vases.

Precious is an easy pattern to follow with most of it traced directly onto the fabric, sewn and then cut out and put together. He/she is just crying out for embellishment, embroidery, beading or other decoration and is lots of fun to make

Clementine is a dear old girl - but extremely forgetful. She can't remember any of her magic spells so she has to keep a veritable library of books at her fingertips

She is dressed in purple silk and organza gown with shot organza trails and feather boa down her back. Of course she wears traditional witches britches for modesty on her broom. Her boots are painted on so her shoes don't fall off when flying and clunk folks on the head

She stands around 25cms, (10")

This old dear is a bit of a ditherer. All her power is in her wand but she often forgets where she has put it - she's getting on a bit you see....in fact she wrote a poem about herself.....

She can be made from almost any flesh coloured fabric, but if you use lyrca or any other stretchy stuff - BEWARE! - STUFF VERY GENTLY! or she'll be getting into trouble from her local witch doctor for being too chubby and you may have to make her clothes larger.

Vera is having a wonderful time stomping the grapes in her vat and probably sampling the merchandise as well. She stands about 30 cm (12") tall and can be made from any two way stretch fabric

Instructions are included to make her vat from either cotton or craft sticks. She is needle sculpted, hand painted and has a wire and pipe cleaner armature inside her so she can hold up her skirts and kick up her heels

Twizzle really has a tough time looking after her little brother - he just keeps getting into mischief

She stands at 13 cm (5") tall and he is 10 cm (4"). They would suit a miniature scene or even taking Precious the Dragon out for a walk. They're a great size for wearables.

Both little folk are best made from lycra or similar two=way stretch fabric, but finely woven cotton will also work well. They have pipe cleaner armature inside for easy posing and boots/shoes are painted on. Clothes are fairly simple.

Chloe is made from heavyweight, two way stretch doll body fabric and has been constructed with an internal stand which goes up through her standing leg into her body, giving her support to kick her other leg high into the air.

Chloe wears a black silk or satin dress trimmed with black lace. The underside of her skirt has coloured frills as does the back of her knickers. She stands at 50 cm (20") tall and her fingers are wired to allow her to grasp her skirt to dance.

She has full internal wire armature to allow for easy posing, is needlesculpted and her hand painted boots are are made of fabric and sewn on. Pattern also includes a frilly 'poke bonnet' (not shown).

Physlethwaite is a shy little bloke and easily frightened off. He is made of lycra, is needlesculpted and hand painted. He wears tattered pants, shirt, cap and a waistcoat, and his painted boots are part of the leg pattern.

Physlethwaite is easy to make and would be suitable for a beginner. He sits at 22 cm (9") tall

This dear old dear pet spends most of her days on the bowling green at the local club, but by night-time its a different matter! She can always do with a bit of extra pin money for the pokies (slots) and the pension doesn't go very far, so she poses for the life drawing class at the local arts and crafts society several evenings a week. She has an American twin sister who just luvvvv's to shop so she also moonlights as a nude artist model to support her mall shopping habits.....

The pattern includes the doll, with full instructions for the face, body sculpting and painting, the making of all her clothes, shoes and bowling ball, as well as the chaise lounge.

Moonlighting can be made from any lycra or two-way stretch fabric, which makes her easy to turn and stuff in right places. She has wire and pipe cleaner internal armature, arms are jointed for movement, but legs are ladder-stitched on to look more natural when she poses 'au la naturale'. Chaise lounge can be made from cardboard, is easy to put together and mostly glued.

When ordering please specify if you would like the Australian Bowler or American Shopper Moonlighting
