I also sew! I am still a beginner, but I do enjoy it - especially when I finish one! Here are some of my recent creations made from Bit of Whimsy patterns:
A puppy pattern I redesigned from another:

Violet the Cat pattern:

Lenny the Guinea pig (one of a girl, one for a boy):

Elodie the elephant (for a boy):

Finnegan Fox (probably one of my favorites):

check out his cute tail!

Meggie Mae (custom made - requested as much pink as possible!):

Rose the rabbit:

I really like how the colors/patterns came together in this one.

A custom Elodie that I took to be embroidered:

Those ears are tricky to sew on (this is a bit harder than the other patterns) , but they are so cute!

This one was another one custom made to look like an actual living cat. I think he came out super cute and just about captures the personality of the original.

I did have to adapt the pattern from an original one and add lots of felt for the markings. I even painted pink paw prints on him - if only I had thought to take a picture before I sent him to his new home!

He makes me smile when I look at him! :o)
