So the other day I was browsing Flickr, when I came across the stinking cutest thing ever: Evil Emil the bat.
Okay, I said, originality be danged--I have to make this. I wanted to make it for my niece who is turning one, but first I had to ask her mom if it was okay. I think some people might balk at the idea of their baby getting a bat for a present. But it's so cute!
Strangely enough I had everything I needed already so I whipped it up lickety split and I love how it came out. I opted not to include the super-cute monocle and chain because really, that just seemed like a choking hazard for a baby. I'm still going to do the hand quilting on the wings this week. And I haven't decided if I'm going to put the snaps on the wings or not.
Isn't he the cutest?
oh this is so cute!
ReplyDeleteHe is definitely adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love how he wraps up in his wings. So cute!
ReplyDeleteHe's so cute! I would totally let my babies play with a bat if he is this cute! I think the snaps would be extra fun for a little one.
ReplyDeleteI love him.
ReplyDeletethat is really stinkin cute. i want one!! :o) it might be fun to put magnets in his wings so the little one could attach and detach them easily?
