Toy Caterpillar Tutorial (with pattern!)

I remember when I first started blogging, back in August, I had crazy "someday" dreams of being featured on the "famous" blogs.

One of those blogs was "Luvin the Mommyhood". Only the amazing people got to be featured there. :o)

Well I'm happy to report that my little dream has since come true several times, and it's coming true again today! Shannon asked me to be a guest during her "Babyhood Bonanza" event, so I'm sharing this snuggly little friend that I made:





It's an "anyone-can-make-it" stuffed caterpillar, with a fun crinkly inside, and little ribbon "legs" to drool on!

But once you've invited this little friend into your home-watch out! Because they can be a little sneaky sometimes. Especially when they're hungry....

And, being of rather a humble size, they will need you to protect them from predators!


But most of the time, all they really want are cuddly hugs and snuggles :o)

Click here to invite one into your home!
(and be sure to check out the post right before it to see Shannon's precious new little girl!)

Splendid: Thanks! It actually came from the clearance rack at the Children's Place a couple of years ago :o) I think it's like an 18m, and she can still wear it!

Beth said...

Disney, you're fabulous! I can't wait to make one of these for my little girl!

ella @ LA DOLCE VITA said...

Gosh, could Paige be ANY cuter in these pictures!?? Your tutorials make everything seem so simple!

Katie said...

Disney, these are so cute!! And did you make that adorable owl? If so, do you have a tute on her?

Disney said...

Katie: Yes, I made it! I copied one I saw at Pottery Barn :o)
It would be difficult to do a tutorial, since I sort of free-handed everything, but I will have to see what I can come up with one of these days!

Emily said...

Oh, my goodness, they're so cute! I need to make one. :)

How cute! Adorable pattern, thanks! :)

Amy Lynn said...

Disney, I love everything you make and I second the owl pattern. He is too darn cute! One small comment, my younger DD had a "taggie" type toy with ribbon loops and she wrapped it around her finger really tightly. Sadness! When I make your cuddle bug I will sew a line down the center of the loops to prevent trapped fingers. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful creations.

Katie said...

Haha ok, thanks! I know I can figure it out, but I figured I'd ask anyway! :)
