Sewing Tuesday: Crazy doodle monster finger puppet

Hi folks!
This week I decided to make a crazy doodle monster finger puppet.
He's got crazy teeth. And a villainous hat.
If you'd like to design and make your own doodle monster puppet, here's how!

Exciting new feature!  Leave a comment on this tutorial telling me your idea for a name for my crazy doodle monster puppet and be in with a chance of winning him for your very own! I will select at random and announce next Sewing Tuesday who the winner is.

 You will need:

Sewing Tuesday: Crazy doodle monster.

Here's my crazy doodle monster. I designed him by doodling lots of different monsters then choosing my favourite to sew up in to a toy. Want to have a go? OK!

Sewing Tuesday: Blue Creature finger puppet and his reindeer outfit.

Meet my new friends! They're called Creatures. This is Blue Creature in his reindeer outfit.

Sewing Tuesday: Buur's Festive Jacket.

Hi! This week I'm going to show you how to make a festive red jacket for your teddy or doll. If your toy doesn't look good in red, make it a different colour.

Sewing Tuesday: Evil Witchy Mouse: Part Two.

Hi! Here's part two!

Step 3.

The Body.

Fold your mouse body in half so that it looks the same shape as the pattern piece again. Put a pin through to hold it still. Sew up the curved edge with over stitch with your green thread like in the picture below. Don't sew up the bottom!

Sewing Tuesday: Evil Witchy Mouse: Part One.

Hi there!
On Saturday I brought home some oak twigs with leaves after I went to the park with Hopper. They look pretty in my favourite vase. I was very surprised to find this evil little witchy mouse hiding in them! She bit my finger when I tried to pick her up! She was horrid but kind of cool.
I thought I'd make my own, more friendly witchy mouse. Here's how to make one for yourself!

Sewing Tuesday: Baby Penguin.

Hi! I saw in the news that people have discovered a new thing about penguins! When penguins huddle together for warmth they do a kind of Mexican wave to shuffle everyone around, making sure everyone has a turn in the middle! 

Watch the video here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-13616778

This Mexican wave penguin huddle is pretty cute. But a Mexican wave baby penguin huddle would be even cuter!

Here's how to make your very own Baby Penguin. Maybe you could make a whole huddle! Let's just start with one though.

Sewing Tuesday: Inquisitive Bird.

Hello!
This week, I'll show you how to make this inquisitive bird.

He asks a lot of questions. He doesn't always expect an answer though, so don't worry. He just likes to ask and wonder. He also understands that some things are just the way they are for no particular reason.

Sewing Tuesday: Schneeky Schnake.

Hi there!

This week I'm going to show you how to make this Schneeky Schnake. He's hiding, in camouflage against my red curtains at the moment. 

Sewing Tuesday: Bengali the Tiger.

This week's project is an easy one, good for adapting to your own design!

I have made a tiger keyring with a simple teddy bear shape. You could make any animal this way, a panda, a monkey, a polar bear, just choose different colours of felt and decorate them with different features. You could sketch a few simple teddy shapes and draw different animals on to them, this will help you decide what to make.

Sewing Tuesday: The lizard named Lionel.

Hi! 

A friend mentioned to me that she couldn't find any fun sewing projects that boys might like.

So, here's Lionel, he's a lizard. I'm going to show you how I made him today, so that you can make a brother or sister for him. Lizards are not just for boys, but I know more than a few boys who like lizards.

Sewing Tuesday: Easter Chick-a-Dee

Hi there! Here's who I'm going to show you how to make this week.

Sewing Tuesday: Miss Kitty's Top Hat.

Welcome to Sewing Tuesday!
I'm going to show you how to make Miss Kitty's Top Hat, here she is modelling it for us.
