As I've had a couple of friends spawn in the last year I thought I'd try
my hand at making toys. I started by making a giraffe for Olfus' boy
but I found the mane a little time consuming. I was tempted to make an
elephant for Layla but got a little frustrated. Luckily, one of my
friends had Pinned a number of interesting toy ideas. I ended up making a
couple of Stegosaurus -
who doesn't like a good dinosaur? It's called a 'taggie' which I assume
refers to the loops of ribbon used as the defensive plates. The pattern is one sided so doesn't standup but would make a good chewtoy I suspect. Someone with more time than I could probably work out a 3d four legged pattern.
As I had excess fabric, I made four. One for Layla, one for Bennie, one for the next infant I happen upon and one for the first person to register interest.

Two days before Layla was born I decided to try something a little more difficult. My awesome sister works with felt alot. She makes things like screaming avocados and other quirky items. So I thought I'd make something with felt that Layla's SCAdian parents would find appropriate.
A dragon for Layla the Dragon Slayer! Pattern from here with many thanks. I also found this pattern for a rampant dragon but I don't think he is as cute.
