At Christmas time its easy to get carried away spoiling the
lil ones silly & forgetting about
the fur children (pets). But not me, my foster fur child (aka my sisters dog
Bob) I thought I would sew him a toy bone to run round with.
1.
I sewed the toy bone out of some thrifted denim fabric, a
rattle (ripped out an old toy of Kobes), scrap felt, scrap red fabric, scrap ribbon, thread, sewing
needle, sewing machine, scissors, tailors chalk, wadding (out of an old cushion
I think) & lots of love- ha!
2.
I used my amateur drawing skills to outline a
bone (times 2) on the denim which I cut out & also I cut out a smaller bone
on the felt fabric.
3.
I sewed using red thread the white bone on the
larger denim bone then pinned the ribbon to resemble a bow tie & sewed that
down too.
4.
I thought I would give myself a headache &
cut out small letters for “Bob” & applique them on, they were fiddly to sew but they turned out ok,
yay for me!
5.
Next I placed the 2 denim bones right side (dark side)
together & sewed them leaving a 10cm gap. Turned it inside out so that the dark denim was on the outside.
6.
I stuffed
the wadding & rattle inside then hand sewed the gap closed & tada.
One mighty fine looking Bob & dog bone to match.
And because I like to play dress up I had to go that mile
extra & make him a santa beard out of scrap faux fur. (Things Auntys do
when the owners pet is away on travels hee hee).
Merry Christmas Santa Bob:)
Happy Monday friends!
