My Lela loves turtles. I created this little guy using recycled vintage plaid scraps (from my friend's grandma's fabric collection he generously gave me!). The feet, tail, and head are made from a thrift store sweater. The eyes are vintage buttons.

ReplyDeleteahhhhhh! I remember that fabric! :D It makes me so happy to see it again. My grandpa made me a turtle too that looked almost exactly like that, but he was out of real ugly green broadcloth. You should so sell those things, I'd buy one.
