Loch Ness Feltie - Monster Jam 2020

Home & Garden Completed Projects

This is a category I rarely crafted for before but I am hooked now!
For 2020 Monster Jam - April Craftalong, I made this posable felt Loch Ness creature. I named him Finn.
I have always declared how much I hate to hand sew, but hand sewing felt isn’t nearly as bad as cotton fabric. I am rather enjoying it!
This guy had a lot of parts and I had a lot to learn. Even knotting the thread was different and then I had to pop it through to hide it. But I am so happy with how he turned out. He has a magnet in his mouth that attaches to the snorkel. I can’t wait to make more of these little guys. I want an entire village of felties now!!!
Sorry for the picture overload. I am excited and love him. :grinning:

I love Finn! He’s so cute, and the name is perfect. Magnet in the mouth is a genius idea, BTW. He is rocking those accessories!

OMG! The snorkel! I’m dying from the cuteness! And, such a clever idea to use a magnet to attach it. I can’t wait to see what other felt creatures you dream up!

For the record, this one is a pattern. I figured I would do a few patterns, figure out how to sew felt and then start modifying them to make my own, new creatures. But I have so many ideas already!

I’m seriously considering buying this pattern because your Finn is just so darn cute! But I tend to get super-confused with patterns, and super-frustrated sewing tiny things… basically, I guess I’m asking how terrible is this going to be? :slight_smile: I’ve never sewn anything 3-D in felt before, just badges/ twichies. I have made a few fleece stuffies, but nothing very complex.
