Meet the Oddballs and get ready to settle in for a bit of hand-sewing with lovely wool felt. It's faster than you think. If you skip the French knot warts you can stitch up the basic Oddball in just 2-3 hours! Who are the Oddballs? Byron is a warty little fellow with a sweet soul. He's ready to give you his heart. (It's warty too.) Mimi loves reading books and eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, but she LIVES for ballet. Floyd's favorite time of day is bedtime - as long as he has his teddy bear, his blankie and his bunny slippers. And as long as you promise to read him THREE stories. This is exclusively available as a PDF pattern, delivered instantly and ready to print onto letter-size paper. No shipping costs and no waiting!
