Kangaroo Pattern No.2

This kangaroo and her baby live in Canada!

 

The Saga of the Pink Kangaroos

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I design toys, from scratch, with pen and paper and scissors, then cloth and tiny stitches. It's one of the things I do best, and luckily, something I love to pieces. I sell my toys on Etsy, to 'locals' and friends.

 

Last year a lady asked me to make a custom pink kangaroo for her little girl. It took me two months to develop a pattern very similar to this one. In January, I moved and lost ALL my patterns.

 

Lately I've wanted to redraw quite a few of them to put into a pamphlet people can buy. This is one of the 'new' redrawn patterns. (( Mom's head still needs a little work, and her feet could be bigger.)))

 

Mom is 8 inches tall, and baby is 3 inches tall. The original pattern had mom at 6 inches tall and baby at 1.5 inches tall -- but it was all handsewn. The mom has some machine sewing in her now and the baby is still handsewn.

 

There are more detail shots and info about custom orders below at my shop.
