Stuffed pins for Sigge..

pattern bowling games

Sigge is Villes little brother.

He is approximately as old as my nephew Hektor, who got stuffed pins from me for his birthday. Hektor really loved that game, especially since a ball was included und a balls are just awesome for the little one.

So I thought, it would be be a good idea to give those to Sigge too.

I already sewed some, that were meant for Lav, however I decided on some without a pattern.

Well, long story short.

Sigge got a bowling game, that I sewed months ago, but didn’t know who to give it to.

Here you can find the pattern for the bowling game.

The pins were immediately unwrapped and tested.

Finally!

The pins are ready and waiting for the birthday boy!

And I have to say, I did the best job this time and I will hand over the bowling game to little Lav without any concerns.

If someone wants to resew it, here you can find the pattern and sewing instructions.

This time I was way faster to sew the pins. And since they were made out of firm cotton wool, they are also the same height.

I replaced the bear for a horse. Well, it was supposed to be a horse, but it turned out to be a crossover of a donkey and a coati. At least the figure spurs your imagination.

The bowling game was meant for Lav anyway, who would celebrate his first birthday soon.

Vladimir knows Lav’s mom better than me and when he saw my finished pins he just said “Aleks won’t like these. She doesn’t like patterns.”

Of course, the present is for Lav, but somehow as mom you get excited about presents too. If it isn’t enjoyed though, it isn’t good either.

So Plan B. Someone else will get these and Lav will get some without a pattern.

A stuffed animal bowling game..

Lav is celebrating his first birthday!

For this occasion I dabbled in sewing a bowling game made out of stuffed animals.

I just started sewing the animal pins, without any sewing instructions and figured I’d just see what happened.

I like to think, that the pins turned out really cute, but they were different sizes and that wasn’t my intention.

I used jersey- and old shirt fabrics. Of course those stretched out in all directions when I stuffed it.

But now I know that if you want to have the pins the same size, then you should use firm cotton wool fabric.

So I decided to reserve the bowling game for Hector’s second birthday. Heki is not that critical and will be thrilled for sure, especially about the ball.

For  Lav I will give it another shot.
