Her name is “Peppa” & don’t be fooled by her small size, cozy plushness & single snaggletooth. She’s a beast. She’ll chew you up & spit you out just in time for nighttime cuddles. Appropriately, she’s also Soph’s new BFF.
She also has a brother named “Pipo”. He’s a lot more easy going, he has to be with Peppa hogging the spotlight all the time. I made Pipo as my contribution to the “Help Joplin Tornado Survivors Homemade Auction” a few weeks ago. As we speak he’s on his way to his new home, with who I’m sure is a monster lovin’ little boy named Andy.
Both “Little Monsters” are made of soft fleece & are purposely made with a 2-D design in mind. I wanted them to be easy for a baby to cuddle with & at 10″ they’re small but not too small & they also have just the right amount of stuffing to be plush but not too big to throw a little arm over at night.
I didn’t write out a super detailed tutorial because making softies is kind of basic, the pics below give a general how-to.
I’m contemplating opening up a “Little Monster” Etsy shop but I can’t decide if I think they would sell or not. Nothing crushes your crafting ego more than setting up a shop & not selling a thing. Maybe some day…
Umm, I need one in purple! Two more after we find out what SIL and I are having! Too precious!
I think you should totally open an etsy shop. Your items are so cute…I bet they would sell! thanks for your awesome tutorials! I think I am going to have to make some of these up for my little ones!
Please please please open up an Etsy shop! I want one! And the stuff that you make is amazing!
As I was reading this I was thinking to myself “I wish she would sell these!”…I would buy one!
omg please open one 🙂 everyone loves ur crafts and im sure moms like me that say they are gonna do one of ur crafts and never have the time wud just buy it from u!
I agree – open an Etsy shop! Not just for the little monsters, but for all your stuff. The clothes and hair accessories you make are definitely something I would buy for my own little monster.
I need a little monster for my little monster! sell, sell, SELL! 🙂
I would buy some! So cute. I don’t have a sewing machine so would be harder to DIY. 🙂
These are adorable! I would totally buy these for my boy and girl…..Please open a shop!
LOVE!!! So cute and your etsy shop would ROCK! Sophie is just the cutest, love the pic of her peeking under the sewing table 🙂 my girls would love these!
LOVE these. They are so cute, and would make great gifts! I would buy one for my expecting friends!
Love the “new” blog Little Pink Monster. Great idea and so HAPPY to see Sophie smiling!!
Open an Etsy shop! I would totally buy some Natasha, they’re so cute!
you should totally open a shop for these! i would buy a couple for my two little monsters:) until then, i might try to make them, did you embroider the eyes on after sewing it all together? so adorable! thanks for sharing:)
Yes, first I drew the eye outline with a fabric marker, then I did a satin stitch across the entire eye area, then stitched around the outline of the eye. Thanks!
ohh gosh this is so cute! My oldest dd is all about dinosaurs and a total tomboy (although she has been caught wearing a tutu over her jeans every now and again) but I think I will definately be trying this! Thanks for sharing! xx
Sooo sweet…love all of your creations Natasha….i follow your blog somewhat religiously…to the extent that my boyfriend came to the one of a kind show in Toronto and asked me if “samster mommy” would be there!!! I love the new site and the new name. Wishing the lil munchkins were young enough to appreciate “little pink monsters”.
I genuinely hope you are doing well, this seems like alot on your plate all at once…xoxo your blog followers/friends are with you!
That is so sweet Hilary, thank you, that comment made my day (:
I totally made a lil’ monster yesterday! So adorable! Your blog is wonderful, thank you so much!
Hooray! Send pics if you get a chance, I’d love to see how it came out!
Ha HA! This is the first I’ve seen of your blog but I love you already for saying “D-bag.” I love this skirt too, so BONUS! thanks for the laugh and the how-to.
okay, I seem to have gotten this comment on the wrong post so I’d like to add that I liked your diorama so much that I made my husband look at it…then I had to explain what exactly he was looking at.
