tutorial: the making of mr. seahorse


Ok...I love the seahorse costume so much, I've decided to make a seahorse doll and I thought I'd share my tutorial for everyone to enjoy!  This is such a fun project...The tail can be frustrating, hence I've made 2 versions of this pattern.  The first one is the original Seahorse as pictured above...it has longer curly tail which is extremely difficult to turn if you don't have a loop turner!  That's why I made version 2, a stubbier and shorter tail, which should be easier to turn :p...I don't want you all to curse me, you see... :).  Enjoy and PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE share a link of your finished product or email me your finished product :).  I would soooo love to see  your version :).

This is adorable! My sewing to-do list keeps getting longer and longer, but my time for sewing is either staying the same or getting shorter! I want to make one right now instead of going to work! lol

Lia! So cute! My son was a seahorse in his kindergarten play and I needed a "baby" for his pouch. This was PERFECT. He loves it and now sleeps with it every night. THANKS SO MUCH for sharing!

Hi Lia, thanks for sharing this gorgeous pattern. I have made two seahorses this week and am so pleased with how they both turned out. You can see them on my blog http://littlecloudfactory.blogspot.com/2010/07/cedric-seahorse.html
Looking forward to making more :)

This guy is so cute! One of the girls from my sewing group made him as a heat pack on the weekend - he turned out really well, as it was her first sewing project. you can see a photo of him on my blog herehttp://ramblingsoffyrefairee.blogspot.com/2010/08/sewing-group.html.
thanks for the awesome pattern!
