My first mother-in-law had a "generous" build. After she passed away, her extra-large pink chenille bathrobe made its way to my oldest daughter, who used it during a pregnancy with twins, but since then it has been sitting on a shelf.
No more!
Grandma Eva June's old pink bathrobe is now reincarnated into these cute little critters! I've been able to coax enough fabric from the robe to make 4 or 5 of them...I wonder who will find one of these under their Christmas tree?
I hope that the little stuffed animals will be a tender reminder of a very loving grandmother, who cared deeply about both her family and her beliefs. It's been fun to make the little animals, and to reminisce about Eva June as I refashioned her cozy robe into toys for the family members she always loved best, the little ones.
These are sweet, Kathy. What a wonderful way to pass along love from Grandma and Great-Grandma both.
ReplyDeleteI knew there was a reason I kept that robe around for so long. :-)
ReplyDeleteCute little guys! They just make you smile when you see them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to use a Gandmother's robe They will make treasured keepsakes for the children who receive them.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, Mom! They look cute.
ReplyDeleteI think you should name the cat one "Sills." (Is that how you spelled their cat's name?)
