Well I can strike off another one of my Maternity Leave projects, yesterday I started, and today I
finished, these little beauties! They are sweet little Pirate dolls! I was inspired by some I saw a few weeks ago on Etsy and I thought of all the nautical inspired fabrics I have that need using up and I thought what better to do than to make some of my own! I drew the pattern out (the ones on etsy were probably double the size of these little beauties who are only about 17cm tall) and I changed up the hair a bit from the ones on etsy, and I also sewed on a little 
anchor button. I sewed them on really well so if Peabody does get to chewing on it and slobbering on the button then it shouldn't give way too easily! Don't you love the cute pigtails on the girl Pirate? Their names are Tess and Tom. I don't know why those names, but in true tradition of toys I've made, they chose those names themselves and it has stuck {wink!} I like Tom's dashing red eye patch, don't you? LOL!I am so proud of all the toys I have made for Peabody, especially as I don't sew that much but I have certainly dusted off the old Singer these last 2 weeks and gone to town with my Creative juices flowing! Mr Mojo must have come to stay with a long lost sewing cousin of his! {giggle}.
