Wonky is a good thing in creatures - they just need more love. A crocheted iphone and earphone matching cotton cosy set. Made to our own design for maximum storage simplicity; instant access with no fiddly closures. The design and textured finish give a safe grip on the phone sock; see the picture of it being held upside down by the cosy only- no trick photography, it really works. The earphones are held, neat and ready for instant use, with a pop out flip action; leaving the cosy ready for use when you need to store the earbuds again. Crocheted in a soft hardwearing cotton slub yarn, white flecked with charcoal and mauve threads – both are neatly finished and fully reversible (see middle picture). Fits iphone 3 and 4s and also their headphones/earbuds. I am happy to custom make these to order, in any colour, contact WonkyGiraffe – see wonkygiraffe.wordpress.com. Comes in cellophane wrapping with printer topper/instructions.

(Plus: This set is also available as a complete Kit by mail– see separate listing, or contact me ). I have made pegdolls like this at events with many many children ( and their parents always want to have a go too ). Great for families and parties or just for seasonal decoration. This charming family would just love to come and visit with you for Halloween; the whole tribe ... that’s to say the Witch, the Wizard, Jack O’Lantern ( AKA pumpkin head ), the Cat ( no one is sure who’s ) and the ghost ( who’s very shy- no bother at all ). The kit comes with the same full photo instructions for making all sorts of magical mates including fairies, wizards, ladies and gentlemen, and a really easy ghost and cat.It contains:- 5 pegs ( pre-painted, ready for faces and final finishing touches ) plus Fabric, felt, pipecleaners, wool, glitter, die cut paper hands, stars and moons- everything you need to finish them exactly as you please – except glue scissors and a pencil or pen. There is an alternative set coming soon of more relatives (the ones they really don’t care to mention)...probably better suited to a sophisticated, more grown up, kinda home!( contact me if you are in a hurry!) Franki the monster, vampires Drac and Vladette ( her parents wanted a boy ) Ivlostmai mummy, ( he’s a bit of a whiner ), and Scarlette, who has no shame- or patience (especially with Ivlostmai ). They have cousins if you think you can accommodate more for Christmas! Fairies, Elves and Santa and Rudolph. If you do not see a listing for the characters you would like just send me an enquiry.

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!

It’s an alien monster ... Pegbag !?! Actually Zing’s been on earth for a while; long enough to develop a passion for pink grapefruit. Which explains his unusual colouring, as zings do take on the colouration of their favourite food over time! He likes pegs too- but in order to blend in and get a job he has promised he will just look after them – not eat them up. As well as being cute, quirky and completely original to WonkyGiraffe, these pegbags are very well made. You won’t need another for years (please do look at the feedback on them)… And guys (because men do laundry too) at last; some that you wouldn’t be embarrassed to have hanging around they place. They appeal to children as well; so are great for toy tidying as an alternative use. Contact WonkyGiraffe if you would like a larger one, or a mini-me matching set. Ergonomically designed for ease of use; with two double topstitched, “just right” sized openings into one, easily accessible, pool of pegs that won’t spill out. Zing measures approx 11x14 inches and is made with care from new, very robust cotton fabric (from IKEA) with a solid wooden hanger. He will work hard for ages.
