The GALLERY is HERE!Whoever said "Cute doesn't need a reason" sure knew what she was talking about! Case in point: these CUTE little monsters! The pattern is by Ellen Luckett Baker and it's FREE over at
The Long Thread. Ellen calls it a Monster Tooth Pillow, and it was created for children waiting for the Tooth Fairy. But couldn't people who aren't losing teeth (I hope!) have a few of these monsters too? Of course we could! Because cute doesn't need a reason! We call them "Hungry Monsters" because the mouth is a pocket. Cute, no?
Wouldn't one of these be a great gift for your friends (both young and old) at Halloween, with some candy in the mouth? And a group of them would look awesome any time of year, just sitting around on your sofa! And who says they have to be only 6" tall? Not me! They could be any size, any fabric...and don't get me started on embellishments...!! Just thinking of what you crafty swappers will do with this pattern makes my mind race. I can't wait to see them all!
The hungry monster is easy to make, so if you have a sewing machine, you CAN do it! If you want to see step-by step directions with pictures, please
