I went out on a limb this Christmas break and spent some quality time with my sewing machine. After finishing an apron I was making for a friend of mine for Christmas, which turned out quite well I might add, I was still feeling the itch and need to continue to create. I then remembered the wonderful pattern for a sewn soft stuffed ball I had on the back shelf and thought.... Why not?
My first niece was born last June and thought she would like this.... as much as a 6th month old likes anything that is not food. So I gave it a go! I am not going to lie, it was tricky and I had to get my seam ripper out more than I had wanted, but In the end I think it is just wonderful. Complete with a homemade rattle inside.
Need less to say I had a great time making this.
I already told you that I love this! I know it was a labor of love and the fun thing is -- it is totaly unique. Jovi has the only one. There will never be another wone just like it --- and---is that -- fabric from a pair of your shorts?!
