Luckily for me quite a few family friends are “With Child” and ready to pop so to speak. So what better than to throw myself into a baby gift related crafty project After some serious research (Pinterest) I have decided on a Felt Quiet book for baby Number Bell. I’m thinking this will give me a great opportunity to use up lots of spare felt and fabric, experiment with colours, ribbons, buttons, everything..but without the need for a sewing machine, or any real skill.. So far I know baby bell is a boy, but just incase I think I’ll go with a unsex idea. The rest of today will most be planning. usually I’m the sort to rush in and regret later.

I re-watched all episodes of Finding Bigfoot on Youtube. Seriously, It’s my favourite show! I love the Bigfoot legend and the show is so bad that it’s good! Everyone should watch it. I want Bigfoots in Sweden! All we have up here are some lame-ass trolls that never show themselves. Stupid trolls. Anyway, what you will need for this tutorial: A fabric measuring approximately 164 cm long and 150 cm wide.

The size dimensions used in this tutorial are made for me, so if your size differ a lot from mine you will probably have to make a few adjustments.
