Not too bad.....

I saw this cute guy over on the "How about orange" blog awhile ago and I just had to try making him. It was a long process.....I finally found buttons, made some eyes and blew the dust off the sewing machine. I think it turned out pretty good the first time around. I would like to use a softer felt some other time but this worked for now. I didn't stuff his arms as it was tough to stuff but he'll still look good on the tree. Jeff has been making fun of him ever since he caught wind of my craft......he thinks it's all a waste of time!! It was a huge success with the kids, they loved him. I just have to stick a tie on his head so he will hang.....I forget to sew it in when I was stitching him up. I'm off to hunt the net for some more cute ornaments.....I think they would be fun to make with the kiddies.

Not to bad for my first attempt.....

I think he turned out super cute... you should be proud of this first attempt and ignore jeff and his teasing... you'll be a pro with the sewing machine before you know it!!! I'd put him on my tree!! Great job!
