Stitching a fox

I feel like I’ve been working on lots of small projects recently, mostly quick and fun.

I needed to make a gift for my niece’s 5th birthday. I’m fairly sure that like my own children she has plenty of toys and so I thought something to hang on her wall might be fun.

I had a flick through Hoop-la by Kirsty Neale and decided to make Felt-tastic Mr Fox:

It was lovely to make; choosing fabric, cutting and stitching, the only trouble I had was finishing off the back of the hoop, never much fun but I feel it’s necessary when giving something like this as a gift.  I don’t have a photo of the back but it looked fairly tidy by the time I had finished with the aid of some double sided tape.

Foxy has been well received in his new home, now I need to finish making a birthday gift for my own child who will be 5 on Sunday!
