Bad Skirt

A couple of weekends ago, I tried making a stuffed cat for a precious little girl. I was planning on it being a snap, maybe a 45 minute project. tops. Four hours, one broken needle and many swear words later,  I finished. The ears were off center, the tail was about 2x as long as planned, and the body was quite misshapen. I have a new appreciation for people who sew plushies. Amy from BadSkirt is no exception; she makes the cutest little animals at her studio in Sydney. I mean come on, a platypus!? Too cute.

She also makes really beautiful quilts. sigh. I think I have a girl crush.
