Found a tiny baby sweater in my stash and decided to make something fun with it.
I needed a project that I could do quietly since it was 4 am. Worked on the embroidery and then did the machine sewing and stuffing.
Here is Olga, named after the 91 year old awesome woman and mother of my friend who wore this sweater as a baby boy in Germany. He didn’t want the sweater, but he couldn’t bear to throw it out after his Mom had died, so he gave it to me to do whatever I wanted with it. The tiny circles are for @magpie to prove I also never throw out any scraps!
Awww, he’s so cute! Great idea for how to reuse the sweater.

Thanks! He and his wife were the only one out of 7 kids who did not have kids of their own. I thought about giving it back to him, but he is quite the minimalist and not very sentimental…I am sure when he comes visit me and sees it in my crafting room, he will appreciate that I have remembered his mother in the way she would have wanted.
