This is another one of the little creatures featured in the Mollie Makes magazine. He's only about three inches in size, so you can imagine how fiddly some of the pieces were.
There were a whole collection of little friends, but I've decided, this is the only one for me. I enjoyed making the larger ones, but the small ones are just not for me. I am glad I gave it a go, but now on to something else.

Foxy Lady
This was another fun project from Mollie Makes. Once all the pieces are cut, it doesn't take long to get these put together. If enlarged, this would make a great cushion.
As I still have some felt left, I may have a go at making the set of little animals that come later in the magazine. I know some little people who love these.

Another Magazine Kit
Karen introduced me to the new magazine, Mollie Makes, after over enthusiastically buying the first issue. I helped her out by taking one of the extra copies. Each copy comes with a cover kit, and I didn't want it to go to waste, so here's the first one made up.
There was a glitch with this one, the white felt had been left out of the the package, so I had to wait until my kind son bought me some home last week. Having all I needed, it was a pleasant hour, hand sewing every thing into place.
I used running stitch around all the pieces and blanket stitch for the outer edge. All I need now is an ipod to go inside!
This project reminded me how much fun it was to use felt, no fraying edges, and relaxing hand stitching to get a very pleasant end result. I'll have to see what other felt projects I can find to do.
