Mary Monster #sewasoftie
Sewing stuffed animals and toys.
Designed and drawn by Katie aged 11 years
Download the drawing for your template
(The template is a drawn outline to save you printer ink!!)
I started by photocopying the drawing because I didn't want to ruin the original! You never know, one day it may be hung in a gallery worth billions!!
I have kept her the same size too (Mary, not Katie haha)
I photocopied the main body, hair and belly also.
Gather all the felt required.
Draw around the shapes and cut them out.
I also used 2 pre-cut hearts that I had but trimmed them down to fit Mary!
The piece for the darker blue hair on the front I made slightly longer so it was easier to sew on.
Now, sew Mary's back onto her front then stuff her with toy stuffing to bring Mary to life!
I think she is totally lovely! I really enjoy making my kiddies drawing come to life! So easy to do and it gives them so much joy! its a drawing that will not be forgotten in a hurry!
I hope you enjoyed my #sewasoftie blog hop post!
Happy sewing
Heather
