Sewing toys and kits in Winter.

Posted by Janine Morris on Sunday, July 3, 2011, In : toys

Winter is the stock making time. A lovely time to slow down and find those inside jobs. Long walks on the beach breaks up this work - in between showers, sleet and snow! Back at work, I have been laying out and making kits and toys.

Both are made from 100% woollen blankets I have collected over time. I wash them in hot water and lots of soap ( my kids call them soap monster washes). This felts (or fulls) the blankets - ready to be cut into toys and kits.

My focus on materials is to re-use...

Welcome to Peep-o, Popcorn, Penguin and Peck-e. Our new friends we want to share with you.

All are made from 100% wool blankets which have been up-cycled and felted into toys.

They are made in Tasmania by Janine.

They are blanket stitched, I love blanket stitching.

Each toy has its own personality and each is lovingly chosen for its character. All come in a variety of colours and you can find them waiting in my online store now.
