Fatmumslim<\/a>\u00a0has just featured my Triplets tutorial as a guest post on her blog. Like the Triplets, Baby in a Pouch creates a softie using a very simple peanut-shaped form. She’s about 7cm long and made from calico.<\/p>\n

What you need:<\/b><\/p>\n

calico
\nwool
\nembroidery floss
\nneedle
\npins
\nstuffing<\/p>\n

What to do:<\/b><\/p>\n

Take two 10cm x 5cm pieces of calico and place them one on top of the other. Draw your peanut baby shape onto the calico. Sew around the shape leaving a turning gap. Trim 1\/4 cm from your sewing line and turn right side out. Stuff and sew your turning gap closed.<\/p>\n

To make baby’s hair, cut eight 5cm lengths of wool. Gather the lengths into a bundle and sew the bundle at its mid point onto the baby’s head.<\/p>\n

The original tutorial which focuses on how to make the pouch can be found HERE<\/a><\/p>\n

Be careful if using a felt tip pen to draw on the face as some felt tips can bleed into your fabric.<\/div>\n

Have fun sewing, Trixi<\/div>\n
