My first real softie

My very good friend has now moved to Sydney :(. I made her this softie for her birthday/Christmas/moving. Read: I started it for her birthday and got it to her months later. She had once said that she wanted something made for her from this fabric as it was also her childhood bedsheets.


I used the Ruby Doll pattern from One Red Robin. I had to add hair though because she looked freaky without. I am really impressed with the hair actually, I used Moda Vera bamboo/cotton because it's splitty and it came out looking perfectly like hair. Lovely.

Pillow Monster for Matilda

I sewed up a pillow monster for Matilda for her 4th birthday. Unfortunately Mum has all my embroidery cottons so the face blends in with the fabric. I didn't follow a pattern, just cut out material and sewed it together - was too lazy to pattern it up. I will try to be more controlled next time though LOL.
