One of the projects that I worked on during this Christmas break was some Gerald and Piggie dolls/figurines for my son. He is a HUGE Mo Willems fan (he even had a Piggie and Gerald themed birthday party this year: read about it here and here.) If you don't know who Piggie and Gerald are then go to the library!! The Piggie and Elephant Books by Mo Willems are my son's absolute favorite. He has read every book about 30 times each. So I thought that some little cute figurines to act out their adventures would be a great idea for him. Here is what I came up with...
They are made entirely from my own pattern, (really proud of myself, this is my first).
I am going to make another set to sell on Etsy, hopefully it goes faster than this trail and error first set I made. I might even sell the pattern after a few more sets (need to make sure that the pattern makes sense.)
The dolls are crocheted with felt eyes (and mouth for Piggie). I embroidered Gerald's glasses and mouth and Piggie's snout and eyebrows.
If you are interested I have a pair listed on Esty, you can click here.
I rarely leave comments on blogs, but I found you via pinterest and these two rock! Please make a pattern!! I do not crotched, but I would beg my sister-in-law to make them!
ReplyDeleteI have been searching for a pattern for these guys! I am very interested if you have one!
ReplyDeleteI have the pattern being tested right now! As soon as she finishes up the pig I will post the pattern! Thanks for your interest!
DeleteAre you making any more of these to sell on Etsy? I'm VERY interested in these for my almost 5 year old Gerald and Piggie fan!
