I’m so excited to be part of Gingercake’s Holiday Gift Blog Tour! Virginia, who writes the Gingercake blog, has a wide variety of creative sewing patterns, from penguins to purses from lunchboxes to llamas! It was hard to choose just one – but the penguins stole my heart!!
The penguin pattern was easy to follow with excellent step by step instructions – I never had to read between the lines! I have twin nieces who just turned 1 year old. I can’t wait to give them each a penguin for Christmas!
I used soft flannel for the penguin body and I made the tummies, beak, and feet out of minky. The twins LOVE minky!! 
Since the minky can twist and shift like no other fabric on the planet, I used a little Spray n Bond basting spray to keep the pieces in place while sewing.
I zig zagged around each piece two times. I love how the pattern has little darts in the head and body to give the penguins more shape! They each have their own personality – don’t you think! Now, what to name them!!
Mufasa was a little confused and did not know what a penguin was 🙂
