Meet Milly the monster

And I don't think it's a coincidence that Milly rhymes with Lily...

She is pretty close to the sketch I made of her minus the toenail buttons. Milly is made from a jumper that I shrunk many years ago but kept, knowing that there would be a good use for it one day (horder you think? there are plenty little jumpers where that came from... I thought of holding an exhibition of all my tiny jumpers at one stage, it was getting beyond a joke... I get the last laugh now!) She is wearing an apron made from some poor unsuspecting granny's donated dress at the local church thrift shop and the buttons are froma mixed bag. The filler, thread and brown felt behind the eyes are new... sorry I tried my best.

Here she is flashing her belly button.

I had so much fun making Milly, it was so easy working with the machined felt and also working in such a large scale (the kittens I make are about a third of the size). Thanks Claire!

Nice belly button, but I also like the way you did the eyes! There is going to be quite a collection of characters on Month of Softies.

Thanks for your great comment on my softie! :-) It really motivates me for making a May flower softie. I love the shape of your monster. Especially the way you have made her eyes and top of her head. And the fact she has a bellybutton! :-)
