In which I maim myself with the bread knife and finally get around to a spot of sewing...

Sliced my finger while trying to eek the last slice from the heel end of the bread loaf this afternoon, so am minimising typing with a short post today.  This is a little tooth pillow I made for my nephew who has just started loosing his teeth.  The mouth is a little pocket to be used for the all crucial tooth/money exchange.  I used this tutorial but instead of cutting a hole in the back to turn it out, I just left a gap in the side seam and stitched it up at the end (just a bit neater I think).  I'm pretty sure Minty is hoping her teeth will fall out prematurely so she can have one too!

  1. Cute! Nicer than the one in the tutorial- its button eyes are creepy.
    (Oh, and love the little Peter Rabbit in the background there...)
    And you have my sympathies on the finger-slice. Seems to run in the (extended) family...

  2. Ouch for your finger. :(
    And yes, your tooth fairy is so much cuter than the tutorial... no silly tutu.

  4. This is sooooo much fancier than I'd imagined! Your timing is impeccable - loose tooth number 2 is just about to drop. xox
