Soft Toy: Sneaky SSSnake Zig Zag Stripe

Another version in the house! It is striped, and it is zig zag!




As usual, 100% handmade, sewn by me using polyester felt, with polyester fiber as their stuffing.


The yellow one has dark blue belly and the blue snake's purple. I forgot to snap pictures of their belly. My bad!





And they like to coil too!




Aren't they cute?

Soft Toy: Mobile Phone



Soft mobile phone it is, for kids and toddlers like my daughter. She likes to pretend talking to the phone, so I made this for her (the blue one). The red phone is for my friend.


 I know it is not an up-to-date version as smart phones nowadays, but I think children should know the appearance of an old mobile phone, with thick antenna, small screen, big speaker and the normal 123 buttons. 


Dimensions: 6" x 2"


I add a camera at the back, well, at least it follows to the current trend.


Camera with no pixel :-)

iPod Case for Mama Abby

I used Belkin leather case since I had my iPod in 2010, but lately, the case grew fungus. Yuckss!! Maybe it's about time for me to replace a new one. Here it is:


It's for me, so I just used scrap felt from the remaining balance of felt. I want to make it colorful, hence the pink color base, green wool yarn stitching, and colorful star, love and ribbon buttons. Notice the pink lines that intersect each other, I machine-sewn them. The name 'Nabila' tells that the iPod is mine :-)

The back - Tea time theme

The front

When the iPod is inside..

I used peach polka-dot cotton as the inner, with a layer of soft padding for an extra protection. It fits the iPod perfectly, it grips.


Now my old iPod has a brand new case. I like!

Angry Birds!!

I got a friend who is crazy about Angry Birds, she even asked me to make five Angry Birds brooches for her, the angry red bird, the speedy yellow, the boom black, the white hen and the blue one. She is my best buddy I couldn't say 'No'. 

The Angry Birds family was 100% hand-sewn, using polyester felt, stuffed with polyester fiber. Well, here they are:



They were a bit smaller than my palm, yet a little bigger than a 50 cent coin.



Cutting the eyes was the hardest thing to do. They were so tiny I had to hold the black felt using my nail while cutting. It was such a relieve that the eyes do not squint *fuh*.

Still can't get enough of Angry Birds? Play then.
