A few weeks ago, I bought a magazine, Homestyle Sewing. It's the first time I've read it, but it does have some lovely projects in it. There was a kit with the magazine to make a Monster Softie, inspiration coming from Gemma Jones.
I used the materials provided and came up with my own, as yet nameless, softie. I added some felt, ribbon and some wool from my leftovers.
In retrospect, I think I would have put the skirt higher up.Daniel spotted her straight away, and has already put his order in for his own monster. He wasn't impressed with me making a "girl". I shall have to look and see if I can make a more masculine model.
