Some time back, the fabulous BadSkirt Amy gave away her adorable Moxie the Doxie pattern to her blog readers. As soon as I saw it, I just knew I had to make one up for the darling Anna Banana. Since it's for a little baby I didn't want to put buttons on the leg joints, or sewn on buttons on the eyes, so instead I used thick embroidery floss to secure everything very well. I think she turned out super cute- what a great pattern! Hope Anna likes it! For my sister I made one of the great big mouth pouches using the tutorial over at Noodlehead. It was so easy to follow: I'd been wanting to make one of these for a while and the instructions were very easy to follow. I hope she finds it useful!
Love how colorful the dog is! I worry about buttons, too. I've started using safety doll eyes when I make stuffed animals. It is a post with a washer that goes on the inside so it won't fall out. Your sister's bag looks great too!
ReplyDeleteShannon,
ReplyDeleteyour package arrived today. Thanks a million again for this lovely giveaway. The book is really lovely, my fingers are itching for some bag-making. The bag you made for me is really cute, I’ve already put my crochet things into it. Thank you again! God bless you!
Wish you a happy new year!
Best wishes and happy sewing,
Barbara
