That came about cause I read about a walk and the woman who created the walk wrote that she didn't expect anyone to walk it all in one go. Sounded like a challenge to me! 510 km over 5 weeks, fending for myself and fending off the local shepherds!

So far I have made the bear hood (and also modified it to be a bat hood for a halloween costume), a tutu and the bucket hat. But the bear carrier is at the top of the list - the small child insists on sticking soft toys up her t-shirt to "keep them safe" when we're out and I'm worried one will fall out and get lost, causing drama and heartache... I think a carrier would be well worth the effort.Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09629947745671139083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-82694674131913846022013-10-14T09:02:18.266+11:002013-10-14T09:02:18.266+11:00I haven't made this many!

My guy has a bear hat he LOVES, and I made a rabbit hat (just a little ear adjustment) for his sister also a hit. I've done the cape...and I have a ton of little houses cut out- I even bought the ridiculously expensive foam to make them with! Great round up!

I'm looking forward to seeing your next creation.<br />You may as well count me in too: I have this book and have made the bucket hats (and I think I used the free download) , and I have material for the cape.... So really I haven't made anything yet but I plan to. Might be the kick up the bum I need.

I don't have kids of my own but on the basis of this post I would seriously consider buying this book so I had ideas and inspiration for gifts for the many children -big and small- in my world. You have done a great job. Wishing you well on going all the way!<br />(oh, and that walking trip in turkey sounds amazing, and a little bit crazy if you did it solo.

I'd say 5/20 is still a good strike rate for the LTTS book!<br />I'll try and figure out how to host a link-up party so we can help each other out at any tricky bits along the way....<br />... and I can't wait to show you the next puppet theatre. But I need to start making it first, I just keep adding ideas to it and redrawing my design sketch over and over!!Lightning McStitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955101913822685967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-20923251463366099642013-10-13T14:15:21.588+11:002013-10-13T14:15:21.588+11:00Thank you.

I was just wondering where I could find a pattern for a hat like this and, here you remind me, that I have the pattern already lol I bought this book using a Joanne's 40% off coupon a couple of years ago, sewed up the cape and stashed it on the shelf! Look at all these great projects. Thanks for reminding me that I have this :D<br /><br />Beautiful sewing as always :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11424122917160635342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-86795117283236187592013-10-13T04:01:42.201+11:002013-10-13T04:01:42.201+11:00Count me in too!
