Pink Tiger and Stegasorus

A long long time ago when I first started this blog (ok – so it wasn’t THAT long ago…but if sure feels like it now) I made this softie based on a drawing by Zoe. Soon afterwards, feeling chuffed by my success, I asked Zoe to do me another drawing so that I could make her another toy. Zoe very kindly obliged with a lovely drawing of a pink 7 footed ballet shoe shod bow covered tiger with purple ears.

I took a deep breath and started to sew….

…..and about 8 months later I decided that it was time to finish the ballet loving pink tiger. Here she is:

Hamish really took a liking to the tiger, so I took another deep breath and asked him to draw me a picture.

His creation had many spikes but thankfully it was adorned with neither ballet shoes nor ribons, and after only a couple of evenings the stegasorus was finished.

The kids are planning their next designs, but I have informed them of the ’sewing queue’ and they seem to understand that it may be a little while before mummy starts stuffing miniature feet again.  So…next in the queue?  Curtains or yards chiffon?  I haven’t decided
