Baby Rattle - Bear Set

A little baby gift I made for a new little baby boy. For these I actually found free patterns online with a google search. This set is a bear rattle with a bear squeak toy made with blue and maroon fabrics. For the rattle I added a bear face, but I left the flat bear squeak toy faceless as I liked that it was reversible.

Last year I made these Baby Rattle Tools, that included a squeak screwdriver, a rattle spanner and a rattle hammer. So I had leftover squeakers and rattle inserts to make this bear set of baby toys. I still have more squeak and rattle inserts left for more future makes, which is handy.

I finished each bear toy with a tag sewn into them to give a more professional look and to also tie them together as a set. For these tags I used a ribbon with colourful baby feet printing. The finished size for the rattle is about 9 inches and the squeak bear is about 8 inches.

Rainbow Goddess Dolls set2

For my Rainbow Goddess Dolls, I have been using recycled materials. This means that some of my plush goddesses are a slightly bigger then others as some materials I have used have a stretch to them and some don't. Because of this the average size for each goddess doll is about 8 or 9cm tall and feature embroidered colours meanings on each.

These are the second set of five Rainbow Goddess Dolls, all totally hand-stitched and hand embroidered. The meanings for each colour is embroidered onto each of the coloured goddess dolls. These colour meanings are- Green = Nature, Blue = Fidelity, Indigo = Infinity, Purple =Magic, Lavender = Serenity. I just have the last five Rainbow Goddess Dolls to share.

Dinosaur #1

This is just a simple enough little dinosaur that I made as a gift. The pattern was a free pattern I found online while doing a google search for sewing pattern. The soft brown material I used for the body has a nice stretch to it, allowing for a plump and rounded dinosaur figure, and the scales along its back bring a nice bit of colour to this otherwise bland dinosaur.

While the body is made from a soft and squishy brown fabric the back scales and feet pads are from a more stiff colourful material. This was done to allow the scales to stand upright on their own and to ensure the feet to remain flat while standing. The dinosaur was given a pair of black safety eyes before being stuffed and sewn shut.

The finished size for this plump little dinosaur is about 18cm from head to toe and about 29cm from nose to tail. Although this size will vary depending on the material used, as I mentioned I made this dinosaur with a stretchy material so it was stretched out a bit while being stuffed. This was a simple little project to hand sew and the end result is super cute. I can imagine a number of these little dinosaurs, all in differing colour. 

Rainbow Goddess Dolls set1

These are my Rainbow Goddess Dolls, all up there are fifteen of these little plush goddess. I made a goddess doll in each colour and embroidered the colours meaning onto each goddess doll in a Pictish Swirl because I thought it looked more magical that way. Each little goddess is about 8 or 9cm tall and is stuffed to make them soft and handable.

These are the first five Rainbow Goddess Dolls, all totally hand-stitched and hand embroidered. The meanings for each colour is embroidered onto each of the coloured goddess dolls. These colour meanings are- Yellow = Energy, Orange = Opportunity, Red = Blood, Brown = Soil, Pink = Romance. I still have ten more Rainbow Goddess Dolls to share in the future.
