If you were stuck on a desert island with only a couple of yards of fabric, scissors and thread, what would you make?
First of all, a hammock, I guess… and then I’d start to populate the island with turtles, vegetable vampires and other monkeys :D


Do you ever have fabric dreams, where you walk into a store and see all of the fabrics you have ever dreamed of for sale?
Yes, regularly… usually when I’m stuck on desert islands. ;)

Which one of your own plush would you describe as a self-portrait? (feel free to include pics)
Out of the ones I created so far: mega usagi. (He’s the one with the ice-cone on the far left of the group photo.)
