Sun and Moon


New version of my Sun/Moon two sided plushies, made as a (very) limited edition for three lovely babies of friends born recently. I added a loop so they can be hung up showing either sun or moon side depending on whether its time for bed :)

Only got shots with two of the plushies since one of the babies arrived a little before expected! It was nice to make these knowing already who they were going to.


On the technical side the newest challenge was making the loops nice and clean with the seams lying flat. I used some matching fabric on each side too. For the stars I used silver embroidery thread which was a fun detail, but that stuff does not behave normally. Its really slippy, like tiny metal strands!

Yellow Ele

This is a baby yellow elephant who is just a bit sleepy. Lucky enough it has its own blanket to keep warm.

The ele is made from fleece and cotton fabric patterned with bees and cats. Its a really cute fabric, as is the duck fabric on the little blanket.
