'Creature' made for aunt's birthday

 I got a very specific request from the mother of a teenager, who wanted this mascot made up for her aunt. On the front of the 'creature' is a logo, which I can't show for obvious reasons. I was asked to make the hands and feet in fur fabric, and all of it in very bright colours, so this is the result.

This design was made for the aunt whose birthday it is on Thursday, by her 14 year old niece.

 

Here is the final result, he arrived in London on Saturday. I'm looking forward to photos of the  Aunt with her 'creature' in the near future.

The cat is ready and on her way to the big city of London!

Here she is, the cat, designed by G's nephew:

Here, cat is getting sewn together

 

And this is the finished cat, complete with bow and matching shoes.

Isn't she stylish? Bye cat, I hope you make your owner very happy!

Stretchy Suzie comes alive for Stretchy Suzie yoga studio!

I regularly visit Stretchy Suzie's, Woodville Rd, Cardiff for her excellent yoga classes. One day I turned up with some Cwtch Club flyers and Becky Szwandt (owner, illustrator and yoga instructor extraordinaire) immediately asked my to make her a Stretchy Suzie softie, so I did!

First I made a prototype

And after a lot of hard work, this is the final result as finished today!

Stretchy Suzie lives!
