I wanted to share this pattern of a little felt monster I made last year for Valentines day. I didn't get my blog started soon enough to share it last year, so I figured I would put it on here now! He's really simple to make. I cut mine out of red wool felt...a front and back of the body. I sewed around it using a whipstitch, leaving a little opening for the fiberfill. I also did a stab stitch through the arms, securing them between the body front and back. I know that it says to cut 4 pieces for the eyes...and you can, but another thing I did, was put a small piece of pipe cleaner bent like a V up and out of the eye-sockets. I then coiled the remaining pipe cleaner and glued on the felt eyes (you could also use googly eyes). Once the monster is done, cut 2 pieces of felt for the heart, whip stitching around it and filling it with fiberfill. Bring the monster hands forward, either gluing or stitching them to the heart.
You can make this alien/monster happy or sad...or a combo of both. I called it "stick with me", but there's no saying it can't be "stuck with you" as well!☺
Like I said, it's quick to make, fun and a good gift for a boy!
Here's the pattern.
