Spontaneous sewing
I started snipping and sewing and I didn’t stop. I didn’t want to use a pattern or make something to sell or make something that needed to be anything other than a simple expression of what I was feeling right at that moment. I made a little guy and I love him (or her?) so much. I want to do more sewing like this. All of it is hand sewn and some of it is already coming apart at the seams but all of it makes me feel completely happy… and creatively satiated for a short time in this very long summer. Here’s to spontaneous sewing!
I love him, too! Hooray for playing with no agenda!
So inspiring! I think you have invented a new type of sewing, being intentional about not making something to sell or something from a pattern. Such a great end result! Keep it up!

Wild hair. Great to be lost in the creative moment. bring it on.
Love his messy hair!
Yey for spontaneous sewing:)!
Oh! He looks a bit like Roosevelt Franklin from Sesame Street!!! LOVE him!
Claire, your guy is so cute and handsome! I wish I could sew like you 🙂
Love this little guy and the little sweetie on twitter as well!
He’s lovely! And you’re on to something: how often do I not sit down with the intention of Making Something Useful, or Making Blog Content. No pressure! Beauty is its own reward, and so Is creativity! 🙂
I just ADORE HIM!!
He’s ace! Love how you’ve attached his shoulders with buttons. I agree – free-form sewing rocks.
How cute is that! Wish I were more creative….
Oh! He’s such a…doll! xx
Love it!
Fresh and sweet. The best things about spontaneity!
I miss the days when I used to just ‘wing it’. I remember doing that sort of thing when I was a kid. I should get back into this sort of crafting.
