The E

Oh my...since it's a new blog for me and I've made some of my crafts, so I really have to post about them before I lose my spirit (-.-)

This time is about "The E". E is for Elephant, it's really my favorite animal. I love to draw elephant, and cut a paper to make an elephant. Two years ago, even my friend's uncle who really fans of elephant gave me big pictures of elephant. That's why I want to make an elephant pillow. But actually, a nice friend interested to have one for her son who loves to have doll to play with. Well, since she's a senior amongs my friends who deal with stitching and selling her handmade stuffs, so I prefer to make "The E". I want her to check my work, how good it is and what should I improve to make it perfect. Hope can send "The E" next coming Monday for her son and hope he will like it.

I made it from the same material as the cat pillow. I only did blanket stitching on the bottom part to represent The E's legs and to attach the ear to it's head. I filled it with that synthetic cotton and stitched a braided blue wool thread as the tail. This time, my pillow has an open eye, only one eye hihihih ... another part of it is plain without eye and ear.

Cat pillow

I really love children and really love to have fun with them. It was always a dream of me to make puppet toys and stuffed-animals for the children. Buying toys are the easiest way but I prefer to make them, a handmade toy has it's own personal touch of the maker, am I right?

I still have a lot of fabric that a friend bought for me from Crawford Market-Mumbai. So, I decided to make a cat pillow. It has 40 x 20 cm body and 14 cm diameter head. It filled it with pillow stuffing, I think it's a synthetic cotton, and did blanket stitching around the body. I also did the same to make closed eyes. Check it out....
