As promised, a John Barrowman plushie pattern!
Download Free Pattern
He is wearing his Captain Jack Harkness costume, with his big grey coat, blue shirt, suspenders, and grey pants. He also carries his gun (removable) in a holster at his waist, and his vortex manipulator on his wrist.

This little guy was made for a custom order and so I created that pattern as I went along. He is very similar to my David Tennant but has a longer coat and a few more accessories

Oh no - I just saw this image and realised my Matt Smith plushie doesn't have suspenders! So now I've added some, and added them to the pattern too

Not quite in time for the new series but close enough! A new pattern for Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor! I loved the new episode :) and wanted to have this out to celebrate.

Download the pattern from the Patterns page as part of the Mini Doctor Who's pattern.

I know the shirt colour is wrong, but there weren't many pics out when I first started the plushie so wasn't sure what was to be the final costume. The pattern has the correct pinky-red colour.

I've also just finished listening to BigFinish's UNIT series with David Tennant in the final episode - great stuff!
So here's a pic of Matt taking over the role - awww

Squee! He's finished :D

This guy has been a long time in the making - I created the body and coat in late 2009 and started getting stressed about how to create the hair and face.

There are a lot of great other doctor plushies out there such as stuffykin's wonderful patterns and lovely adaptations such as PinkPorcupine's Five. I wanted to create something a bit bigger with a more flowy coat. So this guy ended up measuring 36cm (14in) tall, with an arm span of 27cm (10.5in)

I think he's actually easier to make than my mini plushies because of there being no intricate details. The coat is the design part I am most proud of. I will be writing up the pattern this week - so check back soon if you'd like to make one yourself :D

In order to solve my 'writer's block' with how to do the face, Tim drew me up some options. This way I was able to choose the one that looked best with the hair and features. I like the way he turned out ^_^ hope you like him too!

Had made quite a few David Tennant plushies recently, but wanted to have a break and make something different. So here he is:

"Run as if something very nasty were after you, because something very nasty will be after you"



If you can crochet and want to have a go at making your own just download the pattern from the patterns page.

Today I also finished my Talia vest :D The largest pattern I had ever attempted- I am very happy with how it turned out. Will post up some photos soon.

Hi everyone,
Surprised myself this morning by finishing off my 3rd Doctor pattern!



Had a bit of a party last night and went to bed very late, so didn't expect to get much done today. Anyway, the pattern is available for download from the patterns page. as part of the Mini Doctor Whos PDF. Let me know what you think of him!

I got very excited yesterday when I found a ravelry member has started work on a 5th Doctor :) looking forward to seeing photos of the finished product :)

Off to another lunch-time gathering now (sadly it's raining outside), but look forward to collating all the entries for the giveaway when I get home.

Only one week to go if you'd like want to enter my Giveaway for a David Tennant plushie :)

Well I've finished the first doctor - William Hartnell

Download free pattern for mini Doctors from the patterns page

Progress with my tiny doctor whos is going well.

I've done the bodies for William (1), Patrick (2), John (3), Tom (5), and Christopher (9) - and I've fully completed Peter (5) because he is my all time favourite doctor :) I think he turned out quite nicely - note the celery in his lapel.

This is my completed 5th Doctor (see 5th doctor on wiki)







And here are some photos of the other work in progress doctors:



If you can do some beginner crochet, the pattern will be available soon (update 2012: grab the pattern from the patterns page as part of the Mini Doctor Whos pattern). I am not quite sure how I will structure the patterns yet, maybe one for the basic doctor body, then provide one specific to each doctor based on this so that people wanting the whole set won't get duplication.

Or maybe that doesn't matter. Let me know if you have any ideas or if you think making up the pattern is a good idea - probably going to be quite a bit of work to put together one for each doctor.

Now i'm off to the opshop to see what i can find. My friend who is going to south africa for a month has let me borrow her sewing machine! and i am very excited!!

It has been a productive weekend so far.

I wanted to test my hippo pattern so i started making one out of pink wool - but it seems he has turned into a pig! Then I made him a removeable hat to go between his ears :)



And here is his story:
Piggle the Cowboy hails from the Wild West. He is tough and strong and always gets his way. With his daunting blue cowboy hat, and threateningly fuzzy tail, any saloon will go silent at the mere sight of him.



I have just made the pattern available in here if you would like to make one for yourself or for a friend.




ohh and the hat is removable of course :)


Enjoy :)

Well here is my latest creation, Henry the Dugong. I am finally getting around to blogging about him.


Henry is named after Henry Tilney from Austen's Northanger Abbey (there is somewhat of a tradition of naming soft toys after Austen men in our share-house). We currently have Bingley the Sheep and Darcy the heart-shaped-pillow.

Anyway here he is:



And here is his story:
Henry the Dugong has lived a happy life floating on the tides and whiffling the sea grass around his blue home. But lately he has been dreaming of adventure. If only he was as swift and strong as a shark...

Using some splinters of wood found in a sunken ship, Henry quickly knitted up a jumper for himself, attaching a beautifully sculpted fin to the top so that anyone who saw him coming in the murky waters would think he was a shark!"



I will be making the pattern available in my etsy shop  free if anyone is interested in making one for yourself.



Oh, and the fin is removable so that if he gets to scary as a shark you can take it off and he will be a normal dugong again :)



A plushie Henry is available on etsy here :)

Hello,
When I was originally making my Lion for August, my friends told me that a spiky mane would look best. I was unsure and thought I would like to try and loopy mane because the stitching would be more interesting.

I thought my friends were right, but I decided to make another baby lion to test it out. So this is Dandy Lion.



It turned out to be more difficult than the big lion! because I didn't really know what I was doing with the loopy stitches and wasn't sure how to get them to hold (I was on a train at the time)

But it seemed to work ok in the end :)



I am not sure quite sure what I will do with him yet, perhaps put him up for sale in my etsy shop, or perhaps add him as a free gift if I ever get my first purchase :) Many more items needed before that will happen I am sure

My newest project is a 'Dugong pretending to be a shark'. I have so far created two dugongs and am working on the fins to go on top!



I am writing up this one as a pattern as I go, he should be a quick, fun knit. I will probably add it to Etsy when it is done ^.^ (download free PDF). Perhaps I will also have a go at selling the blue dugong on Etsy, once I have got over my fear of postage!

Have finally got myself around to creating a pattern to sell on Etsy. Very excited, and even if it doesn't get sold, it was fun to create a permanent pattern for my creation Fuzzy Hippo on Etsy

Pattern can be purchased downloaded free from the patterns page

This little guy was created for my friend’s birthday. The design was based on his performance character ‘Eaton Fudge’. He is about 15cm tall as far as I can remember.



He was quite fun to create because I had to make him in such a short space of time. His jacket failed the first time, ending up too bulky, but then I re-did it and it worked out quite nicely.



My favourite part to do was the hat. I wish I had kept a record of the pattern for this one :)
