My first search for toys I could sew offered and bonanza of free patterns and tutorials. Thanks internet. For my first project I thought I would try the "Itty Bitty Oddity" from Odd-Dotty Dollmaker.
Here is the result of my attempt:
So cute huh? The Darling Daughter is sort of interested in this little gorgeous gal. Hey - help me name her, suggestions welcome in comments.
My next search was a little more pointed. I was looking for something that had tags on it. You know how baby's are - give them a new toy and all they want to play with is the tag you forgot to cut off. I came across the Craft Schmaft Tag Monster Pattern and thought with a few alterations I could make one that looked a little more girly.
Here she is:
The Darling Daughter just loved, loved, LOVED this one so I am feeling pretty smug. I'll let you know if it remains remotely interesting during the plane ride.
Oh that Tag Monster is gorgeous! I love her eyes and little arms. I'm so glad your daughter loved it, isn't the tag obsession crazy?
ReplyDeleteThe best tip I had for a flight with little one was to buy a big book of stickers and let them stick onto paper. I thought it sounded silly but my little boy LOVED it. At least an hour of entertainment.
