Been busy doing up a basic liner and setting claws. I got lucky & could use one size liner for both paw sizes. Meanwhile, I’m impressed with the pattern which creates a firm ‘pressure fit’ around the claws, so I chose to glue instead of my usual drill’n’sew.
The completed toy hanger, now the fancy home for all my miscellaneous squishies!
On the homeward stretch now! Although the outer motif is making me cross-eyed as I stitch it 😵
I did an actual one day build! We needed something to put all my plushies in to get them off surfaces so I made up this toy hanger. Still have to pressure fit some beads on the end of the dowels before it gets hung.
Sewings pads on 3 paws represents 2 full days of work. But these are looking awesome now! Foxfire must have ginormous fingers/ring finger as both me and my husbands fingers ended at around the knuckle joints in these paws, so I’m going to make a simple full liner from sports fabric to slip inside & pop in some light stuffing in the fingertips to give a little bit more body where it might collapse on people with shorter fingers.
WIP of the blackwork square design. It’s beginning to look so striking as all the elements come together.
I recently bought some beautiful handcarders and I spent a few relaxing hours teaching myself how to card. It’s surprisingly easy & I carded up some spare fibre; white cormo, yak, & grey polwarth.
I’ve been wanting to try out a spindolyn since I first saw them. It’s a very interesting little tool but not something that I would use regularly because of my preferred spinning style. It is however wonderful to spin up neppy wools and when you want a ridiculous amount of loft in your yarn!
Nyoomed these paw pads through the sewing machine. After I sew these in, I’m forced to wait for the package of accompanying claws to arrive to complete these sets.
