My sister-in-law often chases my children around and slathers them in kisses as they scream and try to get away from her. So we made this Kissy Monster puppet for her recent birthday (Huck helped by choosing colors and deciding on the number and placement of eyeballs. Milo helped by trying to climb onto my chair and grab at scissors and pins while I sewed). This was my first go at sewing something stuffed, and I think I learned a few lessons. Like, don't stuff THEN sew. Not the best workmanship on this one if you examine the seams, but I blame some of that on my cheap-o sewing machine. It has problems adjusting to thicker fabric, even when I mess with the tension, so there was a lot of bunching thread and inappropriate language spewed forth during the making of this puppet. I keep entering various sewing contests to try to win a fancier machine, but so far no luck!
