I asked Hazel to pick out a pattern from one of my toy books to make for her cousin Rebecca. She chose Maisie from 'More Softies'.
I have to admit that this wouldn't have been my first choice and I'm still not that fussed about it. I hope that I'm just seeing it from an adult's perspective as Hazel was quite adamant this was the one to make! I was angling for Polly or Mabel Monkey from the first Softies book myself.
Maise is one of my favourites!
ReplyDeleteI just made her for a little two year olds birthday. I was a bit freaked out because the mother isn't that into handmade stuff but I wanted to give this special little girl something that was as special as her... both daughter and mother flipped out about how wonderful she was. The little girl just wouldn't let her go. It was wonderful.
