Jungle toys

Jungle Toys Bag and Stuffed Animals

 

 Made from upholstery Flat Folds @ G Street Fabrics

hooves are leftover minky from another project

Mane and Tail are cut from the selvage of the spotted material

There is a piece of bendable wire inside the tail that makes it stand up

 

Legs are made separately and sewn on with Button and Carpet thread through the body after the body is made.

They move back and forth freely without any buttons or plastic or metal parts.

OMG.... I forgot his ears and Horns...

Will post his picture again after I finish the bag and put his horn and ears on.......  Then I need to find some gray and do an elephant friend with bendable trunk... hahaha

 

 Can you see... the Giraffe now has black minky lined ears and horns...  I looked at the pic of giraffes on the internet and I think this is pretty good.  There are no loose parts just thread attaches the moving legs... the horns and earns are hand sewn on.

I already gave her the monkeys (sock monkey mom and baby) see baby shower bag posts.

The Jungle Fabric was found on the Decorator Flat Folds

I continued the Giraffe theme with the strapping made of the same fabric... still in progress.. pictures to follow as I finish

The plan is cloth books, Noahs Ark, and Old McDonalds Farm, plus Giraffe and Elephant in the bag

Now I will finish the bag and put that on there... and then fill it.. 

 So, Here you see I had to piece the strapping because I am using the same fabric as the lining and the giraffe, so because it is so thick at the top where I am applying the handles, I picked up this cool soft vinyl off the flat folds.  I am hand sewing the strapping on with button and carpet thread and then applying this little tab at each connection (4) so it has a little extra character.  Yeh! G street flat folds.... I love this bag!  I think my new little grand daughter and daughter will grow to love it too.

I will take finished shots after I finish it TODAY!

They are not perfect, but I think they add a special touch with the soft vinyl!

 and also I am cutting out the elephant mommy and the baby elephant and the hippo, to put in the bag.... pictures as I make progress... Quarter of a yard of each of the fabrics should be enough to do more than one of each so one for them and one for my little shop in my mind......  

Each book will have a music box inside... under Old MacDonald, and under Noahs hand.... Etc.

 Working on Momma Elephant..... Now

 

One bag of stuffing is plenty to do these 4 animals and some left over.  Remember she already has a mommy sock monkey and baby sock monkey, so I don't need monkeys....

 Monkeys she got at the shower....

 So, I got microfiber lite gray for the baby elephant, and pleather light gray for the  mommie and then I got a darker color microfiber for the Hippo....  pics of finished later.

 OOPS!  I forgot, I found some lovely zebra flannel, too....

I doubt I will get the zebra done today, I don't have a pattern for that one... and I guess it will work for a horse out of a brown-somebody stop me!..

 There was cool snake fabric, but that might be too scary for mom hahaha.

Hoping to also cut out the bunting... baby due the 7th of February.  I need to finish the bunting-** priority!!  So, I said it, now I have to do it!!!!!

Baby hasn't come yet, but the jungle animals are here waiting for her!

 

So, I still need to give the Hippo, eyes teeth and a pink inner mouth... othere than that the crew of the Jungle bag is done... moveable legs and all....  Momma elephant and zebra have eyelashes with their embroidered eyes...

and tonight....
Monkey booties
Monkey Bib
Monkey Diaper Cover.......  Yeah!  Tune back in tomorrow

 

Cuddle Cloth Minky.....

 

More Monkeys on the other side.....

and I just have to finish these...

 I think I will change the ties to Red and white Polka Dots 

and do the same iwth the bib, plus change the face on the booties to more like Sock Monkeys

I decided the monkey face on the booties was okay....changed the ribbon to red and white polka dot

forgot to cut out the diaper cover.....

Now I just have to do the Totes.....

So I decided to make one Princess' Toys,  one is Little Diva (hairbands and Booties, Little Black dress)  and one that is BOOKS.... One for Sock Monkey things..... and One for MAMMA

The Bigger Sock Monkey is wearing the booties and the Bib with the Monkeys on it! 

DONE!

Trying to do all my Grandchildren UFOs and Gifts at Once!!!

Soooo,

I have not be able to sit down and sew in over three months...  I am making up for lost time.  I stopped in at work three times now.   First in my walker on the way home from the 1st doctor recheck.... Then I went by again.... and I stopped yesterday on a busy busy Sat. and I walked around the store without my walker or a cane.... I even tried working for about 15 minutes or a half hour, but I felt it right away..

No BLT.... Bending Lifting or Twisting.   Well, that didn't work.  Five minutes on the button wall, and that was all they wanted.... Bend in the glass cabinet to look at some trim..... Lift the boxes out of the wall or twist around and get that special button... HEY I know when to cut my losses.... So I left.

Now I really wanted to go today, but... I decided to wash all the baby materials and makes some things...

I already made a billow for one of the grand daughters....

Instructions on Billows... <---      

I have done three, but I did an all nighter the other night when I was so excited about sitting down.

 

Soooooo   I finished that and it is soooooooo soft...

So I prepared last night to lay out some of the baby things to have for next weeks baby shower....
Yep, I am so excited... another baby grand daughter.....   PINK PINK PINK

so...

 

So... At least one pink gingham check with pink flannel back - Burp Drook and Tinkle
Of course, it will have a Kitty face embroidered on it with burp drool and tinkle on each piece of the set.   I will have to finish this tonight...

                                             
 I didn't take the last set of pictures.... but the changing pad had a large crown machine embroidered in the center, and the big I put a piece of elastic to hold it on accross the top, lace on the bottom and
hand cross-stitched princess accross the bottom.

I thought it was useful and cute enough.

I made a red minky changing pad or floor throw, and a little dollie for babys first doll that had a hand embroidered face and hair with a smile and sleeping eyes, for babys sleeping dolly.

I had a pair of Mary Jane Shoes on the list.....  This picture is not very good... I finished one and now I am going to finish the other... I think they are darling... The fabric is a kind of faux pleather... shiny platinum almost gold looking and I added black ties and lots of lace!....

 So the shoes I am doing right now are the middle ones with the lace, only the ties are black.
This is Simplicity Pattern 1710.

I am currently hand lining these with some soft black single sided minky.

I am going to do the Kitty ones to go with the Burp Drool and tinkle set and a Diaper cover with
a kitty accross the back end....

I added opalescent sequens on the the edge of the top of the bootie.  I made sure all was soft to the feel.  I am going to line the inside with some white flannel.

I am just going wild...  I have a sock monkey quilt partly sewn...

 Just the corner has a banana on it....  Okay, it is a little puckery... but I am a little handicapped and the shower is Saturday..... Sooooo.... The baby will like it!... It is super soft!...

 The quilt backing is super soft tooo and more Sock Monkeys... plus a Sock Monkeys Have Issues book and a baby and full size Sock Monkey...................     Okay, I thought I was gonna die!  Pardon ME...

 and  I made some monkey booties, If I can just find where I put one of them.....YIKES...  Okay, I am a mess...

 I have so many things on my list of todos...

I washed the pink minky to make a pink boppy with blue pedals on  it.......

and and and...   I have to make some little snap onsies..... and some baby wraps..... on and on....

Miniature House

November 10,2016

Well, I have given up on my little dreamhouse..... but  I made a teeny tiny cozy room...

still in progress...but you get the feeling

Thats the Journal of Impossible Things...on the marble toffee table.. it can be read

Wine and Cheese anyone?...  Chocolate Chip Cookies... with a cup of tea?

Still have to put the windows in and wallpaper the walls... Then plant the garden.

A teeny tiny work in progress for someone who would appreciate it.... HAHA

 

 

Here it is finished... pictures of real house gardens etc, cover the outside of the box.

Note Picture is real picture reduced on the wall between
windows...

to the side is a real leaded glass door picture reduced to make a  way to exit the room

Totes for Trip

Okay, this is also on Kittysews.com  But I thought it was worthwhile...

I love looking at my totes lined up on the floor with each category of clothes in them

As I packed for my vacation I forced myself to make a tote and pack it with like kind items,

Personals-haircare etc

Kayaking

Dresswear for boardwalking or Restaurant eating

Pjs and sleepwear

Casual Jeans etc...

and Kayaking bag for onboard the kayak

Here's how the menagerie of Packed Totes looked when I put them in my bungalow as I arrived

Ya Gotta Love this Dragonfly material!

This Shell Material was cool too and I tried to put nice contrasting linings.... This one was the dresswear and the pocket is for jewelry that matches the shirts or dresses.

The one plain on the outside bag was my Jeans and Jeans Jackets, but the inside was a lovely green vine...
