this is little lenny
he's made from this vintage 60's pattern found on ebay
and originally repinned from misako mimoko's pinterest
i've embellished him w freehand embroidery love & a little yellow knit hat
.... and that's the story of how little lenny arrived on this planet
(so fun to make, i'm already working on another animal from this pattern:)
thanks for the inspiration, eva! now little lenny wants a peanut pendant :)

Oh wow. He is gorgeous Kim. Love the little yellow beanie, and all the patterns on his ears. AND the fab purple fabric. You have definitely inspired me to get back into sewing again. Loved your post on Cal Summer activities too. *sigh* Your Sid looks like a happy little guy, just like my Sid.

I've always wanted to make the camel, just never got around to it, ummm I think you've just motivated me :) Your elephant is so great, not good at sewing? Whatever!
