Cow Hand Puppet-sewing pattern

The Cow is the second animal from my Project "Old McDonald Farm" Sewing pattern so I am half way trough









The idea was to create a pattern for a cute but very easy to make Little cow , for beginners level, just using hand stitching , and I am happy with the outcome 

https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/152602886/cow-pdf-sewing-pattern-hand-puppet-how this is the PDF file listed in My ETSY shop



I wondered a bit about the balance between the black and white so white body with black patches or black body with white patches??? but then the first option appeared to be better



I must admit that the cow is one of my very favourite puppets that i have created

FELT is my new inspiration but the 100 % wool one , never liked this material until I fall in love
3 days ago we went to the open day of Blooming felt with a friend and I came home very excited with pretty pink bag full of felt

then I chose more girly story Goldilocks and The 3 Bears



A great way to have fun with kids of all ages, Great travel fun Set of 4 finger puppets and carrying Bag Includes Goldilocks and three bears. Based on the Goldilocks fairy tale Children will love bringing the story to life
Set contains

These finger puppets and the BAG are made from 100% wool felt and individually embroidered faces for the bears and Goldilocks.
