As well as working with contemporary designers, the relaunched Clothkits company continues to draw on its rich archives to produce some striking products, such as these sew-your-own pocket dolls kit. They are based on an original design by Louise Elliott dating to 1978.
The fantastically patterned and colourful dolls come as a fabric panel which, in true Clothkits style, you cut around the outlines of the figures, sew the front and back together and then stuff, making them an ideal beginner's sewing project, as well as an attractive toy. The fabric panel alone is currently on sale for £7.50 and you can also get a kit including material for stuffing for an additional £3.45.
