They did, I actually made him with them in mind and when they saw the gang together StepMIL2B (thats a mouthfull!) said 'ooh I like this one' and chose him!

It's like it was meant to be

She's lovely Shelley - ears look good, did you use another sock???

I saw those tutu type hair things in T J Hughes at the weekend and nearly bought a few!!! But then I thought I could probably make them out of scraps of lace:rolleyes: .

I only used the one sock Angie but I had to handsew the ears because the bobbin is empty on my machine and I didn't know how to do it. Until i practice more on the machine I might just handsew the ears. I haven't actually sewn the ears on in this pic i've just pinned them. I lost the will to live tonight with it!!!
I really want the stitching to be invisible on the ears and mouth - but that is very difficult:rolleyes::rolleyes:
You've got a pm by the way

Angie if you have a primark locally then you can get 4 of the tutu bobbles for £1. I picked up a pack for my baby girls hair on sat. 1 x white, 1 x pink, 1 x blue and 1 x purple. Hopefully this will help.

I watched some of it before I went to fetch the boys from school, will watch the rest later. I thought I might be able to get my head round it a bit better if I see them being made. So far so good:D
