Odd Sox

I saw some awesome sock dolls at a craft fair recently. It really opened up my eyes that there was more you could make from the humble sock than just sock monkeys! So I purchased a couple of great books (1 2) on sock doll making and a whole bunch of socks and got sewing!
Here's the result, some very Odd Sox!

I made a couple from the books first then got experimenting.

Sew Much Love

I was contacted recently and asked if I'd contribute some of my puppets to a new charity project called Sew Much Love.
I thought it was a great concept for a charity project and a worthy cause so Humphrey and Florence have gone off to be part of the project.

There's still time if you would like to contribute to this project. Even if you don't know what to make there are links to tutorials on the Sew Much Love website.
So please check it out and contribute if you can!

Nelly the Hedgehog

The British Hedgehog Preservation Society Recently held a limmerick contest, I decided to illustrated my limmerick, just for fun:
nelly-the-hedgehog

I really liked the design of Nelly and so I made her into a plush toy!
nelly2

Soon she met a friend called Henry too.
nelly-and-henry

Nelly and Henry are off to entertain the folks at the BHPS, but if you like them, you can make your very own hedgehog from the Nelly the Hedgehog sewing pattern which is avaliable now in my Etsy store.
nelly3
Nelly is a very easy pattern so anyone should be able to make her.


Of course Having made plush toy Nelly, a vector graphic of her was soon to follow.
nellyx4

I used it on the pattern cover but it's also available on t-shirts from Red Bubble.

Half of all profits from Nelly patterns and t-shirts will go to the BHPS.

e-Mon Express Yourself!

What the heck is an e-Mon you may be wondering?
The answer, it's a neat transforming plushie that lets you express your moods and my latest sewing creation!

Check out e-Mon transforming:


The e-Mon (stands for 'Emotion Monster') has 2 faces, one grumpy, one happy (or whichever moods you choose to espress on your e-Mon) You can flip the face inside out to reveal the other face.
So when you're happy, let everyone know by showing e-Mon's happy face, and if you're feeling grumpy and irratable, flip him to his grumpy side as a warning to friends, family or co-workers!

e-mon3

The pattern to make your very own e-Mon is avaliable right now on Etsy!
So lets all start expressing ourselves in the e-Mon revolution!
