When my parents sold their house this year (in an effort to downsize), I inherited a box of beautiful, 100%-wool blankets. They were perfectly felted (I assume from years of washing) and ready for a unique sewing project.
It wasn't until this week, however, that an idea about what to do with them came to me.
Meet the Stumpits! Clever little creatures that live in the cracks between the sofa cushions and take secret baths in your kitchen sink while you're away on vacation.
They have hand embroidered faces and safety eyes...
... and fanciful embroidered appliques...
They were stitched together on my trusty Singer, stuffed with polyester fiber-fill and lovingly finished by hand.
Ta-da!
