A Chrissy Pressy for Baby Lucy

Eventually I will have to stop referring to niece Lucy as Baby Lucy. She is 1 year and 2 months old but I am pretty sure she will always be the youngest member of our family.

Anyway, I bought a baby mermaid pattern from Bit of Whimsy a while ago with Baby Lucy in mind.


It is a really simple pattern. I used double-sided interfacing to attach the 'hair' to the head and then zigzagged over the wool a couple of times. I also used interfacing on the back of the face - it makes for a nicer finish for the stitching. All of this interfacing has made the head a bit stiff though and not as smooth as I would like.



All the fabric came from my stash which makes this a pretty good present in my books. I am sure I will make more baby mermaids in the future.
