You’ll need felt and fabric paint to make these cuties. I’m thinking that if you aren’t too keen on the fabric paint, you could use coloured felt pieces on the body and ears and embroider a robot-ish design on the front square as well as embroider the facial features.
These would make a great learn-to-make project for kids too. A wonderful little twist on the rabbit theme so common at Easter

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.

Make a Comment ( None so far )With Summer just around the corner here in Australia, this softie cone-&-triple-scoops-ice-cream seems very fitting! But then again, there is always an excuse for ice-cream any time of the year - especially softie ice-cream

Free Pattern and instructions are in jpeg format. Just save the images to your computer and print out. Unfurled has made her softie by hand (rather than using a sewing machine) so if you plan to use a sewing machine to make this one, you may need to do some of the steps differently in order to join pieces together.
Imagine the fun combinations you could come up with for the triple scoop!
