Homemade Cuteness -Zebras and Giraffes Plush Creations

Zebras and giraffes, oh my!

(Click on pics to enlarge)

My two girls last year decided to be these cute little zoo animals.

My oldest daughter thought of the idea when she saw the soft, plush fabric at the fabric store.
I couldn't wait to turn her ideas into animals in my sewing studio!!!

The pattern is a mixture of made-up and boutique.

I used the Children's Corner pattern for the vest (I think it's the Charlotte),

a commercial pants pattern, and copied the hoods off of a jacket they have.

I made ears and stuffed them with batting.

They loved wearing them. 

I couldn't resist making a ruffle at the bottom of these pants.

I figured she could wear them for other times with a little sweater!

The tail almost gets lost in this pic!  But it's hanging there.

This year my 8 yr old will be store-bought Hannah Montana (it's what she wanted) and my 4 yr old will be her sister's homemade costume I made a few years ago - a cute little plush pink kitty cat!  I will post those pics tomorrow or Sunday.

Hope you all have a happy and safe Halloween with lots of smiles and good times!

Personalized Halloween Shirt for Girls

 

Just finished an appliqued shirt sample for girls for Halloween! If you like it you can order one too. 

These shirts are great with their little puffed sleeves.

The striped pants are of an interlock knit fabric from The Fabric Fairy. ( I love this online fabric store.)

However, until I can get some more of this I can't sell any pants in the store!!

The shirts are good to go. They are ready. I have them in sizes 4T, 6, 8 and 10.  They run small so a 4T would be okay for a 2 yr. old.  

$18 with monogram.
