Once again, this week's work-in-progress is made from a vintage sheet from Ange's swap. When I first saw this brown and yellow fat quarter I wondered what to use it for... Then- eureka, giraffe! First I made this t-shirt, and now I'm most of the way through this softie from Karin Neuschutz's Sew Soft Toys, published in english by Winterwood Steiner Inspired Toys. I still need to put on the horns, mane, tail and eyes.
I saw some more of the sheet on Susan's blog It's The Things That Make You Go Mmmm, and Susan very kindly gave me one and a half more of the sheets. I'm planning some giraffe pyjamas for the Bug, then perhaps a pair for me too!
I have a bit of a soft spot for giraffes:

Lovely! :)
I love it! As a rule I have no idea what to do with either yellows or browns, not a fan of either, but I should jump in and use them more, your giraffe is really inspiring me. :)
Gorgeous fabric for a giraffe! I love seeing all of these softie creations you make :)
i am so glad you're getting so much use from the sheet, and so impressed with everything you've been making. that giraffe is the cutest.

So sweet - I love printed fabric toys...so much nicer than plastic!
Cute giraffe, and you are right, the fabric is just perfect!
Oh! this is just lovely - and LOL at the previous giraffe T shirt post - I think you SHOULD make a giraffe costume!
Your giraffe is so gorgeous. Really stunning. You have done so well with all the pieces of material that you got from the sheet swap.
This is yet another winner.
