I've been kind of grouchy, mean and tired lately, so I decided I needed a project that would help me be a nicer person, for the sake of my family and The Boy.
...And, Ta Da!
This is what I came up with, he hasn't got a name yet so suggestions are welcome and I'll pick the one that suits him best.
The pattern is from the October '09 issue (10) of Sew Hip. I just love this magazine, it has something for everyone, whether you're just starting out or have a bit more experience. I've never made a toy/stuffed animal before (just clothes) so I thought it was high time I tried. I found him a little challenging (the method and pictures weren't always clear) but I managed it in the end, with a few little amendments to the pattern. So now I'm pretty pleased with myself and not so grouchy. ^_^ Mission accomplished.

ReplyDeleteHe's so cute!
ReplyDeleteCall him Melvin!x
I'm going to give him some 'bling' by adding buttons to his shell.
ReplyDeleteHe also now has a name, suggestions consisted of: Archie, Melvin, Tada & Grune the Destroyer. But I think he looks very much like an Ichabod.
I like Ichabod :)
