This month for Rachel's Fully Finished Gallery, I finished stitching, then finish-finished Hetty the Hedgehog that I introduced in my last smalls post.
After finishing stitching the second side, I deviated a little from the finishing instructions in the magazine. I didn't want to draw on the fabric, so I freehanded her face, which worked...let's say half decent. Her nose/snout turned out a little more pointy than intended, but then I also didn't have quite as much fabric to work with as I wanted (the instructions said to leave 1cm of a seam edge all around her...well...even though I almost perfectly centered my stitching on the fabric, there wasn't even quite 1cm of empty fabric arond her nose and backside!).
Either way, I ended up redoing her face a couple times until I was content, then I stuffed her and sewed the green felt to the bottom - that part, although free handed as well, turned out really nicely! The little beady nose and those darling leaf pins were a great detail to add, and overall, for a free kit that came with a magazone, I can't complain about this one!

How cute! Well done!
Oh, my goodness! How adorable is that little cutie?! Great job, Leonore :)
Hello Leonore: Oh my goodness, she is adorable, love the little nose so sweet.
Congratulations on the finish.

Lovely looking finish. Yes, I've found that fabric can be on the small size with some free kits but Hetty the hedgehog was worth it
Awe, she looks absolutely adorable! What a great finish!
