WonkyGiraffe Sew-a-Softie Owl- Cat- Thing Complete Kit, Pattern plus Tutorial for 2 6” softies, ideal as a starter hand sewing project; great for cuddles, guarding keyboards or even (shhh) as a large pincushion!

It’s an owl, cat or monster thing- you decide; each one will be absolutely unique.
You can choose your two fabrics, just contact me on purchase; otherwise I will send the two in the first listing photo.

New for gift giving, the kit now comes in a handmade machine embroidered calico bag with an extra piece of fabric to make a second softie.
If you don't need the bag - I will deduct a £1.50 , please contact me before making a purchase so I can list one for you.

Reasons to buy this kit and tutorial;-
-It’s very very easy...and quick.[ I’ve seen 7 year olds manage this in a couple of hours.]
-You can sew it all by hand, [or simple to machine around if you are learning to use a machine].
-Each one is unique to you; this is not “join-the-dots” sewing that replicates someone else’s “look”
-It includes a step by step photo sewing lesson, to help and inspire,
-It contains vintage and up-cycled materials.

The KIT contains everything needed to complete your softie;
a basic shape in easy sew vintage fabric, filling [BS 5852] and with enough bits and bobs* for plenty of design choice, and even to make another one.
*buttons, small pieces of felt, more small pieces of vintage fabric, feathers, strands of wool, embroidery threads
Plus a bonus paper replica of a vintage needle case, holding the needle and pins.

The TUTORIAL consists of four pattern sheets and a 9 page colour booklet of detailed step by step photo instructions with “sewing lesson style” notes for a wide range of ability (and patience)levels.

Also included is an emailed PDF/Ebook with extra photos and detailed explanations plus finishing options for even more variety.

All you need are scissors and a pencil
(these could be included too but will be £2 more including postage. Please convo if you would like them.) Or I am happy to pre-cut the shape for you, but it is part of the fun to try!
