Hopping Along

Sewist — Tue, 04 Jun 2019 10:00:35 +0000

When I first spotted this pattern on Etsy, I couldn’t resist getting it – the style reminded me of a Jellycat bunny. I used some of the tie-dye effect plush fabric I’d bought a year or two ago, which gives the bunny a blushing sun-kissed kind of feel. The drawn pattern is good, and the […]

What is black and white, and red all over?

Sewist — Tue, 12 Feb 2019 10:00:57 +0000

There aren’t many sewing patterns out there for penguins which look like they’re sliding down a snowy bank, so when BeeZee Art released her latest penguin pattern, I knew it was one I wanted to try making. Rather than sticking with the traditional penguin colours, I decided to use some tie-dye effect plush fabric I […]

Sea Pancake

Sewist — Tue, 03 Jul 2018 09:00:56 +0000

I’ve been following BeeZeeArt on social media for a while, and loved the Stingrays she’d made, and was especially taken with the Mini Sea Pancakes she’d sold at a convention. Up until that point, I hadn’t realised that Stingrays are known as Sea Pancakes, but once I saw those, I knew I wanted to try […]

Dotty Dolphin

Sewist — Tue, 07 Nov 2017 09:00:01 +0000

I’ve seen a lot of dolphin plush toys online, and I was pleased to find a free pattern from Choly Knight. The pattern uses minky or similar fleece and I thought it would be ideal to use some of the dotty fat quarters I purchased from Hobbycraft. Although the eyes look embroidered, they are actually […]

Raspberry Bear (finished)

Sewist — Tue, 31 Oct 2017 09:00:05 +0000

I’ve finally finished Raspberry Ripple Bear! I’d finished the main parts a while ago, but had been putting off adding in the ears and embroidering the nose and mouth, because those elements can either make a bear look perfect, or end up making it look really weird. Raspberry Ripple has a jointed head, but the […]

Starry Skies and Blue Bats

Sewist — Tue, 25 Jul 2017 09:00:44 +0000

A month or so ago, I was browsing for sewing inspiration when I came across this glow in the dark fabric. I wasn’t too sure how well it would actually glow, but I thought it would look great paired with some blue “minky” to make a bat. Using the bat pattern from BeeZee Art again, I marked […]

Long Neck Bear

Sewist — Tue, 06 Jun 2017 09:00:12 +0000

It’s taken a while to get this bear finished, but here’s my first “minky” bear! I can’t remember where I got the pattern from, but I think it’s the same one I used for my purple furry bear a while ago. The lack of fur length gives this bear a totally different look – his […]
