Spoonflower Softies

I sewed up some softies this past holiday weekend, all made from cut & sew fat quarter kits created by Spoonflower designers. The first two are a duo designed by Victoria Lasher, and inspired by an Edward Lear poem, “The Owl and the Pussycat”. Aren’t they adorable? I love the way she textured the fur and feathers on both, simply charming.

I chose to have them printed on the quilting cotton, but I think they’d be even better on the sateen.

And then there’s “Toothy” by Samarra Khaja, you might remember my post about him previously for the Softies for Mirabel toy drive. Well, as promised, here’s a pic of him all sewed up on the linen-cotton. I love that the backpack opens up for you to put a tooth in, and it’s already filled with goodies… what a riot!

But, wait, there’s more… when you order a whole yard, you get four different colorways of him, and they’re all adorable!!

Or, maybe you feel like trying your own hand at designing one, here are two that I made to give away as baby gifts this Christmas.

These are but a few of the really neat and totally unique cut & sew softie kits available on Spoonflower. To find more, try going to their website and searching for “kit” or “softie”. Don’t forget they also have apron kits, doll kits, clothing kits, you name it. So, get out there and explore!
