In The Night Garden

Well today I have finished the 2 "In The Night Garden" character softies.

Firstly there is a Haa Hoo - the yellow spotted star shaped one.

This is the 2nd one of these I've made and I'm happier with this one as the first one had a spot where a nose would be and it didn't look right. This time I positioned the fabric better!!






Secondly I made Makka Pakka.

I had real trouble deciding how I was going to make the knobbly bits that protrude from his head. I worked out a solution in the end but not until after the use of a few expletives!!

There are a few more shots of them on Flickr.

I just hope that the receipients like them!!
