This is the last fox for now. Is it unkind for me to tell you how much fun I had making him? Yep. I really got into all the details on this one.

First, there is his brief case.

I usually put little trinkets into the bags and don’t show you but this is too much fun. Thanks Melissa for encouraging me to make some tiny little books.

It clips onto his paw-

And, a pipe.

I was walking home from the library yesterday, thinking about how my little fox professor needed a pipe and how was I going to make one? Then, I got it- Make it on a pin!

An inside peek-

and a close-up of his pin-on tie-

Toni, in the comments for the first Professor, suggested leather elbow patches… Well, of course he needs leather elbow patches!

And here he is!

Love Him!

I am busy getting ready for Renegade Brooklyn in just a few short weeks. Because of that, I will not be posting much to my Etsy shop until mid-June.

I tried to make this be more of an attache case than a messenger bag. Top stitching the tiny felt parts was a challenge. I discovered that if I iron them onto freezer paper, the top stitching goes smoothly- no felt getting sucked into the feed dogs. After the stitching, I picked off the paper.

Here is the inside look. The coat closes with a snap and has a decorative button on the outside. The bowtie is sewed onto a little safety pin so it can come off too.

I’m back to working on the foxes. Here is a boy in a wonderful striped sweater.

He’s got a super-soft cashmere scarf.

And a school bag with a brass buckle.
