I've been wanting to do some DT-themed crafts projects for a while now - and I finally sat down and stitched up a prototype bumbler. I knew my first project HAD to be a stuffed toy billy-bumbler, and I decided to do my first one 2-d style to make it easier.
Eventually I want to try one that looks more like an antique, maybe using some rougher-textured fabric and yarn.
I know the color's not right on this one...I'm also not settled on what the final shape should be...but I wanted to do a fast little mock-up because I'm impatient! :) This one is just plain felt I had sitting around.
Plus, I'm not decided about markings - stripes maybe? Not sure how to execute that yet.
When I figure out the final pattern I'll post the whole project here!
