My name is Heather and my little corner of the blog-o-sphere is Twin Dragonfly Designs.  I am a Program Coordinator with a passion for Inspiring Creativity.  If you grab a seat on the porch, a glass of iced tea and browse around awhile you will find;  crazy party ideas, tried and true recipes, epic craft projects and tutorials for just about all of it.  Oh and did I mention?  I have twin, three year old boys {so they’re involved in pretty much everything}.

I recently created a batch of these monster dolls to accompany my boys’ birthday party invitations. Each invitee got to keep a silly monster of their very own!
A Monster Mash?
 I began by creating a template {in purple} and cutting monster parts out of felt material.

 Then I traced the template onto my green flannel and cut out two sides {monster front and back}.

I pinned my monster parts onto one of the sides.

And began sewing my parts on. Sewing circles? Go slowly as you guide your fabric through your sewing machine. For the smaller circles I stopped sewing with my needle through the fabric, lifted my sewing foot thingy {sorry I don’t know what it’s called lol}, turned my fabric, put the foot thingy down and continued sewing.
When I finished sewing my monster parts onto one side, I pinned the right sides of my front and back together. I sewed my sides together, about 1/4 cm from the edge, leaving a 1″ hole open. I turned my doll inside out, filled with stuffing and hand sewed the 1″ hole closed {sorry I forgot to take pictures of this!}
A Monster Lineup!

    Awesome! I’m going to stop asking my boys what theme they want for their parties, because this looks way more fun than what they come up with. I need to make some of those great monsters!
