Monster Mash


My favorite embroidery site, Urban Threads came out with a monster face pack that I just had to have. It inspired me so much! I have never made a toy or stuffed animal before and I didn't have any idea how to start. First I made a trip to the fabric store and got some soft bold colored remnants and a couple matching patterned fat quarters.


This was the first face I embroidered and it got my mom excited. She took it from there and made this adorable little horned "Hug Me" monster.


I used my Cricut Expression to cut out the TV from the Nifty Fifties cartridge to use as a pattern. I did the eyes, mouth and bowtie on felt and then stitched that onto the body. I handstitched the arm detail.

Angry Johnny

I used my Cricut Expression to cut one of the kids on the Playtime cartridge to use as a pattern. Once his face was finished I knew exactly what to call him so I embroidered his name on his shirt.

We already have several more finished and ready to go to the adorable little girl who gave this whole project special meaning.
