Crafting

Oh my goodness, i've gotten into toy making.
I think Lisa O'Neil got me into it by sending me a link to a blog from a woman who made nice things with paper, and from her i linked into one of her friends who made soft toys and then that was it, a whole soft toy making world opened up to me.

These were my first attempt, i saw something similar on a website made from felt but i didn't have any felt so i drew out a pattern and improvised.
(By the way Daisy and Iris are getting these for Christmas so don't say anything when you see them)


Yes they have D & I tatooed on their bottoms.

Then i found a free mouse pattern and had a go, again they were with felt and i only had a tiny bit of red so i made Mouse No 1 out of denim with red felt ears.
The denim was hard to sew on such a small scale.


Then i made Daisy and Iris matching mice with extra long tails for holding.





I'm currently making a pig, which seems quite easy, i have since gone and bought some felt, but they only had white so it's a white pig.
I have also just won some felt on Ebay, horay, so lots of multicoloured toys to come.
