Mr Electron wasn't my first choice when sewing my swap item. Initially I wanted to sew a cute little green corduroy frog that you turned into a heat bag. I don't know about you, my children adore snuggling up at night with their heat bags, Caleb has the most divine little fleece dog one that I brought to soothe him off to sleep from an early age, and now Jaida and Jaxon both have one (as do I to snuggle up to and fall into peaceful slumber.) However being obviously at the end of the winter material season, the only colour corduroy that I could lay my hands on was black, which I tried with dinosaur material, but just didn't suit a sweet little heat warm frog! A dinosaur perhaps?? but we'll leave that for another blogging time!
Back to the drawing board I went. I'm a huge fan of Miss Buttons by Sew Your Own, so I thought that I would love to give Mr Electron a go. I brought the entire kit from
Rudy and the Dodo (which is an amazing little online store) and had the Sew Your Own kits on sale at the time (so now I have the pattern to keep reproducing!)
He was quite simple to cut out (obviously when you buy a kit, they provide all the material and felt for you ready to go and just cut and sew, how great is that?) I must honestly admit though I was not quite sure of the hand sewing the final seam up (note to self, read up on this more.) I really enjoyed putting him together, and luckily for us we had a hot glue gun to add the final touches.
The Little B's here certainly looked upon Mr Electron with adoring eyes and I now have another 3 cut up awaiting stitching together (although I'm thinking of adding arms to them??) ..
Mr Electron, little super hero, sure to be adored in any family home, albeit boys or girls!!
Hope AJ enjoys him Em :)
The next lot of Mr Electrons cut out and ready to go ..
