Sloth Factory

I finished some things!

These pink sloths went to live with Roland's nieces, so I can talk about them now.

Friends forever.

The pattern is from Funky Friends Factory. I also have one of her cat patterns, but I am still looking for the perfect fabric. The sloths have velcro on their arms and legs so they can hang from branches.  We bought the pattern, body fabrics, and colored velcro in Iowa, and the felt in Freising. The claw fabrics were in my stash but I think two of the three were purchased in Germany.

Total time from start to finish: two months of not-sewing-often-enough.

The claws were tricky.

We really got inside his head.

Attaching the head to the body.

And it's just that simple.

Our test sloth (who we are calling David Lee Sloth because we are awesome) has special button eyes that we bought in Iowa along with the pattern, but the girls are young so I appliqued felt eyes onto their sloths for safety. I think I prefer this look, I like the cartoon-y-ness of the big wide eyes.

Now I want to make more stuffies. Maybe smaller, faster ones.

Stole the name off the Internet, of course!
