LGBTQ+
As part of pride month I created a series of patterns in the colours of various pride flags, which I will gradually be releasing over the course of this year. The following are those that have already been released.






Characters
I have also started making TV characters and historical figures with the same dimensions as my Little Animals, meaning that you can swap the clothes around. I am currently working through making all of the doctors from Doctor Who, and am gradually releasing patterns for the LGBTQ+ figures I created as part of pride month. If you have any other characters you would like to see me make, please do let me know!

All of the clothes should fit the majority of the little animals, so you can have fun mixing and matching them


This necklace is made by winding yarn around another length of yarn
If you'd like to know how to do this please comment below and I will write a post showing you how to make it :)
