Back when I used to be on Facebook and Instagram, I would share my finished projects. I am no longer on any social media sites, so, I am sharing these with you all! 😊
My great-niece Nora LOVES dinosaurs! She is 2 1/2 and just welcomed a baby sister to the household. I saw these in a book and figured that I would make them for Nora. I adjusted their pattern a little bit and decided to use felted wool instead of fabric. I thought that wool would hold up better than fabric for a toddler.
Felted (shrunken) wool is a great material to work with and I've used it a lot in the past. When I am in the thrift stores, I always look for wool sweaters. Since most clothing is now made primarily of acrylic and other man-made materials, wool is getting increasingly harder to find. When I find it, I buy it!
I've been in 'card mode' for a while now and it felt (ha!) good to use another part of my brain to make sure it still works!
Thanks for looking!
So darn cute !!!! If Nora doesn't want them....I'll take them !!

DeleteA-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!!!! Janet I started a felt bag, the pattern you gave me years and years ago, I love that it's all knit and doing really well, but then got stumped when I had to start decreasing or increasing, I don't even remember. To day the lease the poor bad is up in my closet unfinished. I'm sure this story breaks your heart. But the dino's are adorable, I truly love them and I know Nora will toooooooooooooo Love & Peace.
