Snickers and Nugget

 Just when I thought it was going to be a breeze!

 The making of
Snickers and Nugget.  

Snickers

    Three years ago I made this pattern for myself to sell at Christmas Fairs.  They are simply adorable and flew off the shelves.  I drew the original pattern on thin cardboard and have been using those templates.  This year was the last year I was making them.  I decided to make them into a pattern.  

     I redrew the pattern out on the computer so that the lines are clean. I cut the out the pieces sewed them together.  Made a few adjustments to the bodies so that everything fit perfectly.  

    The Head! Oh my gosh the head. I have made hundreds of these heads over the years, Why couldn't I get the exact shape right? First time to small next time to big then too fat.  The face is what makes Snickers and Nugget so adorable. Finally I drew 5 heads each a little bigger or smaller. Finally I got it right.  

  

 I wanted the pattern to be at Dollmakers Journey this fall.  So I didn't finish it on time. But it is better to be happy with the pattern then on time! Maybe a little late, so you can have the pattern for next year. 

     If you like to work small it really is a fun pattern to do. Like I said I have made hundreds of these over the years and they are always welcomed gifts and sell well at holiday shows. 

The pattern is posted at Sale price through the holidays
