<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With a finished size approximately 10cm x 10cm (4" x 4"), it is a great purse for putting loose change in. You can get two out of an A4 piece of felt or use up your leftovers. It can also be made with a synthetic/silk flower and a plastic popper. It's fast to sew and makes a great gift when you need one in a hurry!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cut the additional pieces from the Pudsey add-on out of white fleece and use coloured permanent markers to make the spots. Cut the nose out of black felt. For all the other pieces use the bear from the Animal Puppet Purse, cutting everything, except the tongue, out of yellow felt (the inner ear is not used). Pin the spotty pieces on the head and back, matching up the tops and sides. Sew just along the side edges which won't be sewn along later. Follow the Animal Puppet Purse instructions for the rest of the assembly.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Inspired by Briony's need to always carry a purse to put small things in and her love of puppets, the puppet purse has both! It incorporates a small, snap closed purse (wallet), where children can put their pennies. Then un-snap and it turns into a hand puppet. With the addition of an optional strap, it can be hung round the neck or strung over a shoulder.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Using felt, fleece or other non-fraying fabric, it can be made from left-over fabric you have laying around or you could use it as the opportunity to go shopping for more! The pattern contains a chart showing the size of each piece of fabric required, making it easy to see if you'll have enough or need to buy more. All measurements are in both metric and imperial. It can be printed with both letter and A4 paper and uses a non-trim method of joining the pages, making it quick to get started.</span><br />

They are so versatile and can be worn under pretty dresses, with a favourite top or t-shirt, or even to bed on a warm summer's night.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They come in a variety of fabrics and can even be custom made to go under a special dress for a wedding or Christening.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They are currently available in sizes Newborn to 2 years (more sizes to come - let me know if you need a larger size and I will see what I can do!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All bloomers can be made with or without lace at the hems and with or without ribbon bows at the sides of the leg elastic (this can be the same colour as the bloomers or a contrasting colour). Please state your choices when ordering.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">The 'body' can also be made deeper to accommodate cloth nappies so please request this when ordering. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">They can also be made with a given waist measurement and slightly longer or shorter for a truly custom fit!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">Please note that heavily patterned nappies/diapers may show through lighter coloured fabric.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first 3 fabrics to make their debuts are: classic white, gingham and retro!</span><br />

I designed and made this Foxy Pinafore for my friend's little girl. However when I tried it on Briony she fell in love with it. I loved designing this pattern and have plans to make other animals (bunny fabric is currently waiting on my sewing table!). The next step is to create the pattern in different sizes. I will eventually need some pattern testers so let me know if you are interested!
