TGIFF - A Forgotten Finish



Remember this little man from a few weeks ago?


Well... somewhere between then and now I finished him... and then promptly forgot about it.  Which is strange because he has been sitting in my lounge room staring at me every day, wondering when I will blog about his utter cuteness.  So, before he gets any more upset at my oversight (and seeing as how it is TGIFF and I thought I had nothing to show), I'd like to proudly introduce Sergeant Sebastian.


Isn't he adorable??  I know, I know, I'm not supposed to say that about my own creations but I can't help it - he just makes me gush.  I love him soooo much (even if he has a really big head).

For those that are interested, here are some little facts -
  • Sergeant Sebastian is made from a pattern by Rachel of The Two Windmills.  Her design was originally for an astronaut but I figured it would do just as well for a little soldier. Was I right or was I right?!?
  • I used a combination of felt and cotton fabrics.  The gorgeous camo is Meadow Friends Cotton Grass Green and Boy Camouflage.  I purchased mine from The Fat Quarter Shop.
  • He is 11.5" tall.
Now I just need to get a move on and get my nephew's matching pjs finished before Christmas.  Oh the cuteness!  Oops, there I go again.  ;)



This post has proudly been linked to this week's TGIFF over at Quokka Quilts.  Seems I had a finish afterall.  Who would have thunk it?  ;)
