How cool is this! 😀 I can’t wait to try this out – a toy car that you build yourself with a working engine that’s powered by compressed air! No poisonous batteries!

As the manufacturer points out (above) –

“Gasoline is currently the fuel of choice, but petroleum used to make it is becoming increasingly difficult to find and is contributing to environmental issues and worldwide problems. Automobile manufacturers know this and are spending tremendous amounts of money to develop alternative fuel for the future. Let us introduce you to another alternative fuel and eco-friendly vehicle – Air Power Engine Car. Air is available 24/7, does not run out and it’s free. By golly, we might have something here!”

Miranda was lucky to stumble across this in a charity shop, and if you google it you can find it for sale on various websites but unfortunately the company who makes them, The Source Wholesale, seems to have removed it from their Construct & Create range. I hope they’ll bring it back!

How to make Mildred and the Girl Scout twins rag dolls!

How to make a vegan superhero rag doll.

I followed the pattern from this youtube video:

How to sew a doll by hand – YouTube by Root and Stitch. She also has videos of how to make rag dolls with a sewing machine. I chose to cut the legs off the pattern and sew them on separately.

Following the pattern I downloaded from Root and Stitch, I chose the colours of fabric that I needed for Mildred’s face, top and dungarees, and cut them out to fit the pattern generously.

For Claudia’s hair, I used yarn. I stitched it on down her centre parting, all the way down the back of her head, and then added more stitches either side of her head, to hold her hair in position.
