Monsieur le cow







A few days ago I set to work on making Bella a pair of trousers. Within two minutes Sam had hijacked the project, presenting me a cow softie pattern from Meet me at Mikes Crafty Journal book.

It was a fun project and and is made of scraps of a vintage pillow case, Bella's old dress and shop bought fabric. Sam loved it as a puppet (the next project maybe?) and the finished product is now tucked up in bed with him.

    Very cute indeed. I love the fabric choices and Sam's idea is a great one it would be perfect as a puppet too. x

    I know a little girl that would love some thing similar.

    Thanks for the inspiration and with the wind and rain whipping up again down here, probably some sewing too.

    Have a fabulous weekend
