Creepy, huh? Looks more like something that belongs on a totem pole than a child's soft toy. I don't know what possessed me to make these. The pattern was a free download from Kauffman Fabrics. While at work one day, I had fun choosing the fabrics to use along with those yo-yo makers you see in the photo (more about those in a minute). The big one is really big. It took almost an entire bag of stuffing. Where these will end up is anybody's guess.
As for the yo-yo makers. Again I wonder what possessed me when I purchased these. I think I have an evil sewing spirt possession going on. Anyone who has ever made a yo-yo knows how mind numbing it is. If you've never made one, don't worry, you'll be fine. We have these at the shop and since I get a good discount I decided what the heck, and bought them. Even with this little gadget, they are still mind numbing. But since I bought them, discount or no, I feel as though I should use them. I am about over that thought. For the project I am working on I need 96. I have made about 48. The whole time I am making them I am wondering how anyone in their right mind could set out to make enough for one of those yo-yo coverlets you see.
What a hoot! I think I am a yo-yo for attempting either of these projects. I know, I know, bad pun.
