Scrappy Lamb's body is cut from a vintage cotton boucle, and I used bits of wool felt for paws, ears, nose and pupils. His tail is a triangle of pale blue shearling, with the leather pulled through a slit to the wrong side. He's stuffed loosely with bamboo rayon fiberfill.
Making him is how I spent my afternoon. I sat on the couch trying to keep cool, stitching all the detail features and appliques by hand, then ran the seam joining back to front on my machine. He has an oval base hand stitched around the circumference to allow him to stand.
This was a fun project and I am always amazed by the way inspiration and ideas creep into my mind and life.
