Made this little fella a while back, just got round to photographing him. I bought a big bag of little anchor buttons (as seen on his arm) on ebay, loving them, they’re like little sailor tattoos!
I’m quite into suit fabric at the moment for making things, it’s not that cheap, but has a lovely feel – next one is going to be tweed.
It’s been a while since I’ve been in possession of a sewing machine, but at last I commandeered my mothers last weekend! First little dude off the production line was this chap above which I’m to calling Calvin Cat. I was showing Nicky how I make make my sock monsters at the time and she then went and totally out did me by crafting this fantastic little fella below, which I’ve nicknamed Ivor the Indestructable.
More on the knitted pants theme… these sock monkey cranky pants for kids are super cute. Available to buy from the cranky pants shop.
These knitted pants by memake are amazing! Sadly not available to buy on her etsy shop.
Plushie is an interactive design system for plush toys built my Yuki Mori, a Ph.D student from Japan. You sketch in 2D, it transforms it into 3D, adjust the seams and stuffing, then it works out the panel shapes for you to print out and make – looks pretty good!
Rubykhan has cross stitched some of Craig Robinson / Flip Flop Flyin Mini Pops characters, love it.
It’s been a hot weekend, my latest cock monkey is soaking up the rays.
I made these for a girl who I’m currently fascinated by. The one below (which I thought was best) is winging it’s way over to her as I type, hope it doesn’t freak her out… pretty much sums up my feelings right now though ;) Thinking about sending the other to Coudal’s Swap Meat.
