Well, the pug isn’t sad. I am. I sewed up this fellow, turned him then stuffed him. I sewed on his face, his scarf and his buttons. And then I held him out to admire him and…
Can you see it? There is a yellowish line about an inch down from the edge of his jacket. That’s a problem with working with recycled materials- they have a history to show. The line looks to me like a hem line and it is not going to come out. It is more of a wear line than a stain. If I’d noticed earlier I could have cut around the mark. Oh well. Everything does not come out perfectly. That is what handmade is all about.
I still think he is totally adorable. I am just not sure what I’ll do with him.
He is still adorable. Even real animals sometimes have odd markings. If you aren’t satisfied with the quality, you could sell him at a discount, just be up front about the line. It would give someone who might not normally be able to, the opportunity to own one of your lovely dolls
How about a brawny wee kilt to match his scarf, or maybe some spots? And a sporran! Err. okay, He’s not a scottie. Well. How about some shorts?
