Please meet Dee Dee….a Melly and Me pattern…..this is what I made for my FIS partner Jen, in our recent Softie Swap..…..this was my first attempt at a softie….had a bit of a problem with the tail, but I think it turned out OK…..I must admit I did have fun making this girl once I knew what I was doing……LOL….

have a fab day…

take care Peg……:>)

    She is a cutie, Peg. I made one for a young friend's baby shower a few weeks back and must admit that I found the pattern a little difficult to understand with regard to setting in the tail - would have been great to have had a little diagram to help out because I thought it was wrong until it came together!

    You did a great job on your first softee Peg, she is lovely!
    The trick to making softees is to stuff, stuff, stuff, and when you think you can fit no more stuffing in........do a bit more stuffing!!
