Softie-making process: Spotlight on Ric-Rac

Posted on May 20th, 2009.

I think the process of making something can be just as important as the final result - many lessons are learnt for the next challenge. I find it fascinating to see how others approach the process of making, especially how they turn a sketch on a piece of paper into a 3D object. So I hope you will find the next two posts helpful.

Jodie (of Ric-Rac) is from Melbourne, Australia, and makes beautiful softies (amongst other crafty things). More importantly though, she is kind, generous and has an infectious positive spirit. It is no surprise then that she took the time to share over a number of posts the process for making this little guy, Milton:

Who soon had this little lady friend (though Jodie admits that she is not completely happy with her and is still working on her):

>> Step 2: Fantasy vs Reality or Will It Really Work?

>> Step 3: The Actual Sewing

>> Step 4: Dissection!

More recently, she also posted some progress photos for making these elephants:
