Timothy of Fantastic Toys recently emailed with a link to his tutorial for super cute felt softie Christmas ornaments:

How gorgeous would these look in different colour combinations, not just on the tree but hung on ribbon/string like a garland on the walls, across doorways, down staircase rails too?
These ornaments can be hand-sewn, machine-sewn and kids will have a great time gluing on the little embellishments.

Melly & Me have started a fantastic little series on their blog called “Tips & Tricks Tuesday“.
Their first tip/trick addresses one common softie-making question: “How do you sew and turn out those small softie parts?“. This includes parts like ears, little arms or legs, feet, horns, etc. that are easy enough to sew up but can drive one to instant insanity when it comes to turning them right-side out.
Melly provides a very clear tutorial accompanied by excellent pics.

Apologies for another unexpected break - life got crazy busy with an little softie exhibition I was working on. But I’m back and ready to post up lots of wonderful (and free) softie patterns for you, and just in time for the gift-giving season!
First post for today is this sweet Gulla’alla (Koala) and baby by Coloured Buttons:

This would make for a great Beginner’s project. The shape is easy and simple to work with and the construction is straight-forward.
You’ll find the template and the instructions here: Gulla’alla (Koala) by Coloured Buttons
