Gremlinbat


When I was working on The Cow Felix was absolutely intrigued with the whole process - the idea of a pattern, cutting it out, sewing it together, embellishing it - fascinated he was. Absolutely fascinated. So much so that he drew up his own pattern for a creature that he wanted me to make for him.

Well that pattern was a bit of a challenge due to it being the size of a 50cent piece. Well not quite, but too small for my novice hands to manipulate through the Mighty Matilda.

So, I just upscaled it and cut it out. Again, an Ikea fabric was requested. The ears are simply felt and the various buttons used come from my mum's stash.

The hand stitching along the bottom is blanket stitch, something I was very proud of myself to relearn thanks to a few different videos on YouTube!
