little felt lambs

[epothecary.livejournal.com]

 

they each take a few hours to make, i hand sew them. i used to hate felt thinking it was too easy because it doesn't fray, like it was only for sewing amateurs.. i really like making these little animals with it though. it is pretty cheap too, and a lot of it is made from recycled plastic bottles. i didn't use a blanket stitch because i didn't want them to look too folk artsy. so i just did a basic straight stitch leaving a little seam allowance. also used fabric glue for tacking the legs (so they don't spread out too much), the ears, and for making the bows. I made all of these felt lambs from free internet patterns.
