Butterflies

This week I made some more butterflies using a pattern called 'Blossom' by Melly & Me.  I've made these butterflies before but this time I decided to try and make them smaller so I reduced the pattern to 69% on my photocopier.  I was not sure how they would work out or how I would go making the antennas as last time they caused me no end of grief.

To my surprise they have turned out fantastic! I think they are better in the smaller size than the original size.

One of these is for my great niece Jessica and the other for my home help ladies granddaughter.

I now have orders to make them for people so it looks like I'll be getting to know the pattern very well.

Butterflies

With friends having babies I decided to make them a butterfly each.

I used a pattern called 'Blossom' by Melly & Me. I love their bright and colorful patterns and most are very easy to sew.
The hardest part of making the butterflies was turning the antennas inside out and then stuffing them.
These are my very bright colorful creatures.

The best part of making gifts like this is seeing them with the baby.

Here's baby Imogen with her butterfly.
