I love the ugly dolls and softies I have seen on the internet, they look effective and the random nature of their bodies and facial features adds to their character. I had a spare hour and the urge to use my sewing machine so decided to make my own.
This has got to be the cheapest, quickest and easiest make I've ever done. A couple of pieces of scrap calico, a quick wizz on the sewing machine, some stuffing and simple embroidery stitches to add features and voila, my rabbit is complete. The more random the shape the better.
This took less than an hour and my children are already arguing over him, so much so, that I now have to make another!
I love this Lou! Isn't it liberating when you sew quickly with no attempt at perfection? I made a couple of really bonkers looking dogs for my kids last year - thanks for reminding me about them - really must take photos and share! x
ReplyDeleteThank you, it was fun making something random. I would love to see your bonkers dogs! The more bonkers the better x
DeleteThis is such a good idea! I am not s skilled sewer by any stretch of the imagination, but this feels do'able!! X
