I’ll stop whining and get to work here! I have been trying out some patterns for soft animals and other ideas running through my head. The drawings are Richard Scarry inspired. The body on the right is my first try, using a pattern from Sewing Tiny Toys by Carolyn Vosburg Hall. I was aiming for a cat, but I think it looks like a fox. On the left is my second try- my own pattern. More cat-like, but still needs lots of work. Right now I am trying a classic teddy bear head- well actually I’m doing the whole bear, not just doing the head. It is a 3 piece head pattern- 2 sides and a piece that goes down the middle of the face. I’ve never tried this design before.

In the middle of the picture is my Santa face experiment. Something else I’m stewing about,,,
