Meet Olaf. He is the answer to the question: “Can this outfit be turned into a soft toy?” The pants were mine a long time ago and the shirt I picked up at a thrift store for a different project. I should have taken a picture actually wearing the outfit before I cut it all up, but there was a big, gaping hole in the shirt in a very conspicuous spot. I wasn’t sure if the pants would work, but my trusty little machine sewed through all those layers with just a little pushing on my part (and no swearing!). All the pockets still work and I may whip up a little polka dotted toy for Olaf to put in a pocket, but he may be to serious for that.

There was an emptiness in my life and you have filled it. With mustaches.

Wow I love the use of those pants. They are so cute on him.

Oh I think Olaf needs a little friend for his pocket, but maybe someone tiny that can be hidden ,so he can still pretend to be big and serious.
