Sewing hexagons and pentagons together into three dimensional objects was a little harder than I anticipated! It is definitely not perfect, but I think she'll have fun playing with it anyway. Happy birthday Ali!

just for kicks.

I stitched up this stuffed ball this weekend from the Just for Kicks Ball pattern in AMH's Seams to Me book. Little Alaina turns one today so I figured she needed a new toy to match the quilt I gave her last year.

Welcome to Bijou Lovely. This blog is named after my great grandmother, Bijou Lillian, who encouraged me to embrace all the lovely things that the world has to offer. I hope to provide you with inspiration for sewing, quilting, photography, design, and daily life here at Bijou Lovely! It's truly lovely to have you here.
It's beautiful. I can imagine that was pretty difficult to construct, but the result is very impressive!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a fun toy. I am amazed at all that piecing. The fabric is lovely too.
ReplyDeletelove it!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this! It's like a more beautiful, colorful, and cuddly soccer ball!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! She will love it- it's perfect for a one year old :) Both my kids loved playing stuffed toys that "crinkled" when they squeezed them- you know, like when you squish up an empty Sun Chip bag? I wonder if you could back some of the fabrics with a leftover bag to give it that crinkly sound? Hmmm...or add little ribbon "tags", like a taggie blanket?
ReplyDeleteThat's one of those projects that's always caught my eye. What a cool idea to give it as a one-year-old gift!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks perfect - I'm so glad that I found you wonderful Blog today.
