Last Friday, one of Penelope’s friends had a birthday party. The theme was purple (Maren’s favorite color), and we all dressed up in purple – it was sort of a purple people eater theme. Genius idea, right?
In honor of the purple party I made Maren a little purple creature thing with some of the remaining bits of fabric I still have from my favorite SF bay area event: Fabmo. It’s been such a long time since I’ve made a stuffed creature, I forgot how easy & fun they are to make. As soon as I got my sewing machine to work correctly, this purple people creature took about 15 minutes to make. I used a brightly colored canvas material for the body, velvet embroidery thread for the “hair” and a fabric paint pen for the facial features & tramp stamp.
Did you make anything fun this weekend? Please share!
ohhh my goodness this is too cool. What a fantastic job. Thanks for sharing!
hahahaha! I think the tramp stamp is adorable :)
and she LOVES it! she keeps picking it up and saying, “face!” like she did when she opened it. then she gives it a big kiss. so cute. thank you!
The tramp stamp made me laugh out loud! very cute….
I sewed up a romper this weekend! to be posted soon.
That is SO cute! I’ve been wanting to make a tooth pillow with a pocket for when my preschooler starts losing teeth. I made a new camera strap for my camera! My old was was dirty so I just patchworked a new one on top of it using my favorite fabric line. Pic of it on my blog.
I have something to share with you! Perhaps you have heard of this book or have already done this craft but I still have to tell you just in case you have not. “Happy Gloves: charming Softy Friends Made from Colorful Gloves” by Miyako Kanamori ISBN: 978-1-1-55788-539-5. This book has such sweet ideas to create little glove stuff animals!
