mechani-panda!!! blog no: 5

this is the mechani-panda! he is a timely pattern!
i got the pattern in a felt sofites book i found in my local library the book is featured to the left.
i have made a lot of these felt softies featured in this book and so has my sister. it is a great beginners book! and every thing in it is very very very cute!!!

i used to dislike how my panda turned out but now i have seen other craft blogs mechani-panda and now i feel better about the poor little guy.

i used black pen to trace (which is a very very bad idea!) which has made him look grubby! learn from my mistake!

Simple happy bunny! blog no: 4

This is a very happy bunny i made.
i used a pattern i found online from "my little mochi" (a softie toy site)
it's a very simple pattern however may require a sewing machine.
you will find the pattern under patterns & Tutorials.

Note: i made the ears differently from the pattern

remember to save all pattern cut outs if you want to remake them (i use a folder)

My L softie! Blog no: 3

This is my own pattern of the character L from popular manga, anime and movie Death Note.
L is an enigmatic character, no-one knows much about where he comes from (though it may have something to do with an orphanidge in the later volumes). L is a character whose mind is always going a mile a minute (a concept that's made the Death Note manga so very popular) as he deduces who Kira is. Everything he does seems to be a way of manipulating circumstances so that he may discover Kira, though he does have an obsession with sweets... seldom seen without them in some form or another.

L sits in his trade mark pose (knees up and thumb finger nail in mouth).
I used felt to make him!
colours used:
-black for hair and eyes
-(pale) skin for head, hands and feet.
-white for eyes and shirt
-grey for pants (but light blue can be used)

i will draw up the pattern and intructions at a later date. But isn't he cute!!!

Handmade cards! blog no:2

Hello and welcome to my second blog. In the christmas holidays i made a set of 3 handmade cards to pass time.

I used:

-ready made bronze coloured cards

-stiff dark red ribbon

-scraps of white fabric

-thin white ribbon

-white thread

-small whtie beads

-standard white shirt buttons.

also you will need a hot glue gun, a pencil and scissors.

I will be sure to up load the pattern and intructions so that people can make them. but please do not sell them. Not that you'll want to i find it hard to use them and have only sent one to my brother's girlfriend.

they are pretty easy to make and look very affective.
