Recently there has been a lot of roaring going on in our house.
Scallywag has discovered the lion finger puppets that I made a while ago.His favourite thing to do is to stagger towards you, holding the puppet up, madly waggling it in his hand and roaring- its hysterical!
Even though he is a boy who prefers to cuddle people, rather than comforters or cuddly toys, I thought I'd have a go at making a lion softie for him. As usual, I had a quick look online to see if I could find any free patterns or tutorials, but I didn't come across anything.
So I picked up a needle and some felt and started to sew.
Without a pattern.
Without a plan.
Don't ask me to make an identical lion- I couldn't!

May I introduce Rory, with the awe inspiring ROAR!
He is a bit of a funny shape as his neck is too long and he looks downwards, but Scallywag isn't fussy! I haven't seen Scallywag take to a cuddly toy like he has to this one. He now staggers around, carrying this one by his mane in one hand and the finger puppet in the other hand, grinning and roaring.
