MINITURE SOFTIES

The same templates have been used for these owls, using different fabrics and coloured felts makes each one unique







Christmas Owls



Using the same body shape as the owl, and adjusting the felt decoration, different animals can be achieved. Here, I have made a cat and a dog, and this time also added some little accessories with each.




Another dog, this time, I have adjusted the ears to improve the shape.



In addition to another owl, I have also made a small circular cushion decorated with fabric and lace appliqued motifs, some buttons and a little pocket for the owl to hide in.



one for a cat



and more owls



Mini Elephant


Baby Hedgehog


MORE ANIMAL SOFTIES

This group of designs are using material I have sourced myself, some are from recycled items, for example an old towel turned into a rabbit.







In addition to the recycled towel, this design uses fabric printed with Beatrix Potter's illustrations for the body. I also added a little felt apron and a carrot to go in the pocket on the front.

Another one using toweling.



Using the same body template seen before on the previous cat softie, this one is made using charity shop bought fabrics and some vintage lace applique.


Using the same body template as the cat above, but changing the ears and felt applique to make a dog.

ANIMAL SOFTIES, designed for Anchor using Rowan fabrics

Each animal has different fabrics on each side and a small pocket attached to hold a matching finger puppet
