Earlier this week I set about making a second lion. I cut and sewed the body from cream-colored wool felt.
Then I cut open a failed fox and harvested his stuffing.
I stuffed the lion firmly, leaving a the fox empty. Poor foxy.
I closed the opening and stood him up.
His friend was there, watching him develop. After a lot of yarn and some embroidery floss, he was done (the curved needle is amazing for sewing manes!).
Friends.

Are these inspired by The Lion King coming to Boston? We’re taking Hannah next month! They are very cute.

I’m not sure I could salavage the insides of a failure. I have many attempts on my shelf I’m not 100% on but I still can’t bear to part with them.
I love the lions mane. Stunning!

I make so many, and so many don't work the first time, that I have to take them apart. But I learn from each one, so that's okay.

Oh Abby, I’m so glad to hear that you harvest stuffing..I do it as well….I keep all the failures, but they are easier to keep if they are flat (there are quite a lot of them)
