Fabric Friends

Lately I've been making some lovely new friends, out of bits and pieces of fabric and felt.
I've really enjoyed making them and think I'll make a few more very soon.

 
Above from left to right: Babushka (the daughter of a Russian showgirl), Creepy Steve, charlotte (who has told me she is a Pisces), and Vaughn (a Scandinavian environmentalist).
 
 
And then I made a few more! In the vanity case you'll find Vaughn (not to be confused with our dear environmentalist) Betty and Kinki Utsuri (the kimono clad Geisha).
The felt white rabbit was made by Gina from Ginas Studio in Muizenberg.
 
 
 
Mitsuko, my dear feline friend also took a liking to them, even though she did give Betty quite a rough time the other day, yet nothing my needle and a bit of thread cannot mend.
