I have just finished making this felt stuffy piggy for Shelby.
Shelby is the daughter of a miniature friend Lori from Oh Mini Of Mine. Her daughter Shelby has kidney failure and is recovering from a broken femur. Carey created a web site called Softies for Shelby and is collecting stuffed softies to help cheer up Shelby. The blog is http://softiesforshelby.blogspot.com/
Thinking of an idea was the most difficult, so many possibilities. First I did a line drawing on paper of a pig and cut the various parts of felt and glued it all together with fabric glue. I then built up the ears and other parts with more stuffing and felt. Then I painted in detail with fluid acrylic paints. I haven't sewn this piggy as you would need to for a younger child. I will get this in the mail tomorrow.
Please have a look at the Softies for Shelby blog, people have done such lovely stuffies and Carey is wonderful for suggesting this for Shelby.
Cheers, Jean
That's so sweet Jean, surely she will love it :)

Thank you everyone. I agree Lisa, it must be so difficult.
ReplyDeleteMaia, We might come to see it if we can, I would love to meet you. I didn't hear about the show this year to go into it. I haven't been doing shows recently, it would be very difficult to get ready, nothing is priced. I'm hope you have a great time.
What a precious face on your piggy! That softie is sure to put a great big smile on Shelby's face.
