Our reindeer have had a baby!

Remember our reindeer that we made from the Crafts Beautiful magazine? They've had a baby! 


Isn't he cute?! We named him Bluedolf! His mum is 10 inches tall, yet he is just a dinky 4.5 inches tall. All we did is scaled the pattern down and used a smaller stitch length so we wouldn't lose the definition on the curves. The feet were too small to sew by machine, so they had to be hand-stitched into position. The antlers for Bluedolf were only a single layer as we thought that doing them double like the original, would make them too bulky on his delicate head! We are in love with him, he's so adorable!

And will he have any brothers and sisters anytime soon? Watch this space!
