Meet Wool Flower Heart Daniel Craig Daniel. To be fair, I did not name him. Also, so you don't think my Daniel Craig love has gone too far--Aidan's middle names are Daniel Craig after uncles and his grandfather. AND I never heard of the stud actor Daniel Craig until years after Aidan was born. So there.
I made this little guy using a pattern from Melly and Me. I got the idea from Stacy. I bought the pattern from my new favorite shop - Pink Chalk Fabrics.
You may notice a few things different about Wool Flower Heart Daniel Craig Daniel. First of all, his head is on upside down. I sewed his vintage button eyes on before placing his head on his body (button eyes are a change from the pattern). I did this twice and removed them once only to do it again. I didn't notice the second time until the cockeyed ears were on so I just left it. And you know what? I love it. He looks a little more sheep to me than cow.
What killed me about his pattern was that his coat is removable (it has a zipper) so that you can shear the sheep. Once I found that out, I had to have the pattern. Wool Flower Heart Daniel Craig Daniel's coat is made from chenille and so is his head. I'm not sure about the name of his body and hoof fabric but I got it at Patched Works in Elm Grove.
The best part of the experience (outside of the name) was just how thrilled Aidan was with him. He loves him so much. I love sewing for him. It is one of the best things in my life.
Happy Easter!
He is soooo cute and it is sweet the way Aidan loves him, lucky you, lucky Aidan!
