Class Room Pet

This is Brian the classroom pet I made for my granddaughter for her class at Everton school. Odd name I thought where did they get that from a story character the only one I know is Brian from the Magic Roundabout but that shows my age.

Bog Baby

Th

This is the Bog Baby I made from my own pattern from the book of the same name by Jeanne Willis. I made it for my granddaughter who is a teacher to take and show her class. Its a great book about a little bog baby found in a pond its a picture book with a story for the younger school child.
I drew the pattern out on paper not hard to do the feet and eyes were felt the wings lutrudor the tail plastic bag all bits found in my left over bag its only about six inches tall and fits in a margarine tub

Craft Fair

A few brooches I have made mostly circles of material fastened together with a few bits. The top circle was made from various fabrics machined together and then cut out. They look good on a black top.

Next are some owls I drew a simple pattern before sewing them together. The little green things are caterpillars for the boys just a strip of material sewn up and turned then I gathered the stuffed body up round and round
I made a big banner for the craft fair from an old sheet with felt letters but it wasn't as busy as we had hoped. I expect in these times people don't have the money to spend on non essential things
Now the craft fair is over and several other things I have been involved with are over I shall have more time to blog.

Lucky Black Cat

Lucky black cat again a little larger this time made from the calico cat pattern.
He might land up on my craft stall

STAR Little Monster

This is Star Ive made him for my granddaughter who is just starting her first teaching job straight from college this must be quite scary but she is in a small village school. She wanted me to make her something to give one of the children to take home for the weekend if they had been specially good. I wanted to make something the children would really like to take home. I came up with this baby monster but I was inspired by Denise at grrl+dog click on the title Star. He or maybe she I did find making one that the boys would like too was a bit restrictive but it was fun to make. I would like to make one that is a bit more wild like the ones Denise has made. I do find it hard to let go and do wild and frayed
