I swear this is how it started….

The other day, someone re-posted this delightful thing on one of the crafting sites I follow:

So not only did I find myself chuckling, I knew that I had to find the pattern – and make up an army of goblins…

(I mean, as one does, right?)

Turns out this little cutie was made from a pattern from The Beast Peddler, so you’d best believe I purchased the pattern

and downloaded it

And in less than five minutes, I was tracing the pattern onto a scrap of green fabric with a laundry pen

cutting it up

and getting ready to sew it together.

(Well, that ‘sewing together’ part wasn’t nearly as quick! Sewing took way longer than 5 minutes!)

And that’s how I learned that sewing a doll (The Beast Peddler calls them ‘poppets’) this small (5 inches tall and 3.25 inches wide, below the ears) definitely requires some patience and skill if done on the sewing machine 😥😌

And here’s my first attempt:

I am definitely going to make more, but I need to buy more fabric … in whatever colors that goblins happen to be
