Make a Comment ( 3 so far )Lia kindly emailed me a few months ago (sorry for the delay Lia!) to let me know that she has posted a up a tutorial for this seahorse softie:

She has provided two versions of the pattern - one with the curly tail that you can see in the picture above (which would require a loop turner) and another version with a stubbier tail (and therefore would not require a loop turner).

I adore the detail on the face and raw edges on the feathers. The pattern is in PDF format and the steps are clear and easy to follow. Apart from the usual materials required to make a softie, you will also need wire for the feet. This project is suitable for softie-makers with experience beyond the Beginner level.

Make a Comment ( 4 so far )We continue with the hedgehog love today and I direct you to this adorable little softie:
{image credit: Lollychops}
Pattern is provided in a PDF and instructions are well written and illustrated. A Sizzix die cut machine was used to cut out all the little spikes on the back (roughly 65 pieces in total) and each spike is then handsewn on to the body.

Pattern is in JPEG format and each step of the process is clearly written with excellent photos/diagrams. The ruffles are hand-stitched onto the body after the body has been stuffed and sewn up.
