5 CUTIES

They are excellent! They sew up by hand (I'm on holiday and couldn't bring my machine) quickly and easily They look so sweet, my 5 year old granddaughter has already nabbed 3 and her 8 year old big brother was quite upset that he didn't get any, so I've made him another one with the promise of a couple more as I make them. So a success, I brought the patterns because my 13 year old granddaughter asked me to teach her to sew and I thought they would be an easy and satisfying learning tool, so win win.

I used this as a template for doing a sublimated print design and applied it to minky fabric. turned out cute also did it at half size to make a smaller doll.

Our Tinker Club of 7-8 year olds (plus one big brother) made these plushies as their first introduction to machine sewing. I was VERY impressed with the pattern. The group was able to make 5 plushies in 2.5 hours on 1 machine. They got some help with hand stitching the top of the heads and a little on the noses, but otherwise they were able to do it mostly on their own and they felt such a sense of accomplishment.
