Made this little fella a while back, just got round to photographing him. I bought a big bag of little anchor buttons (as seen on his arm) on ebay, loving them, they’re like little sailor tattoos!
I’m quite into suit fabric at the moment for making things, it’s not that cheap, but has a lovely feel - next one is going to be tweed.
Cookie & Paul are currently walking the 3000 mile long Continental Divide Trail from Mexico to Canada.
Everything about the walk is on the following pages:
1. You can check on our progress here (or below)
2. You can find out more info about the trip here
3. You can sponsor us here
Tracking our progress right across America is no mean feet. Luckily we've had a good deal of help from the kind folks at Nokia, who supplied us with their latest N82 phone with Sports Tracker. It's what we're using to track our route with GPS, take our pictures and write our posts. Finally it's the tool we use to update the blog, whenever we get reception or a wifi area.
Made in England by Gentlemen is a blog written by Cookie, who generally designs websites, draws cartoons, drinks too much, grows a moustache and browses the web for interesting & amusing stuff. But currently the only thing he's doing is walking northwards towards Canada with his mate Paul, if you're not interested in my holiday pics ;) and were hoping for some visual eye candy, may I suggest you check out my girlfriend's blog: Monster-Munch.

Cookie, these are really great. I’d like to try my hand at one of these bad boys myself but I’m a total newbie :-)
Any pointers as to where to start?

Sewing machine Ashley, by hand is a pain in the arse!
