Twizzle and Honey Bunny are my last two Sweet Stufflings. They're finally finished and that means I get to move on to something new! What shall it be?? Little Ladies, Petite Poppets or something entirely different all together? I'll keep you posted...
Twizzle belongs to a family of musical bears. He plays the bassoon, a large, low-pitched woodwind instrument that he finds a tad cumbersome to lug around! Twizzle is made from a luscious, cherry red hand dyed/woven felt and a swirly printed cotton. I added a ruffled collar and glass bead 'buttons' down his front, and embroidered a tiny beaded flower to his footpad. As usual, I added a generous pinch of fragrant lavender to each Stuffling's tummy, so they smell divine!
Honey Bunny has a bit of a sweet tooth and if you're not careful, will nibble on any candy she sees! She is made from a cream and brown hand dyed/woven felt and a pretty paisley printed cotton. Honey Bunny wears a ruffled collar with a silk rose and a rusty bell. A tiny flower is embroidered onto her footpad.
I am almost ready to make the Sweet Stuffling patterns available as a PDF. I'm hoping that they make great Christmas gifts for anyone who likes to sew and I'll include a list of my favorite on-line felt and fabric suppliers.
The Stufflings make wonderful pets for Blythes!
Honey Bunny's work in progress:)
Have a creative week:)
Shelly, how awesome to create a pattern of your adorable Sweet Stufflings :-) I love the way your brain is wired for names...Twizzle is perfect!

Thanks Beth! I was so happy when I thought of that name! Actually I was trying to think of 'red' names, but because I wanted him to be a boy, couldn't pick names like Ruby, Cherry or Poppy. So I thought about red things and we happened to have some halloween candy around and voila, Twizzle it is!
ReplyDeleteVery cute, Shelly! Twizzle is adorable :)
ReplyDeleteNot sure how I ended up here but very glad I did! Your little animals are so sweet and fresh - such pleasing sight.
