Legit just redownloaded this app to ask y’all to vote for me in the Kraft Mayodorsement polls on IG and Twitter! I’m the only girl in the top four and I’d love to make it to the top two.
Today’s polls end in 4 hours. Please spread the word and help me out, and vote #ZoeyForKraftmayodorsement
•The head and body are made in one piece, and the pattern marks when to add eyes, face, and when to stuff. It’s best to do it then, because once the “neck” has been created, it’ll become a little harder to get your hand inside.
•This pattern was created with the velvet yarn in mind, and really works best with velvet yarn. If you’re going to make it with a different material, make sure it’s something soft. I tried it with a one pound skein of cheap acrylic, and it didn’t feel good or take shape.
•This pattern is cuddle sized. Mine ended up about 14 inches tall (from the bottom of his foot to the top of his head, not including ear height), so make sure you have enough stuffing!

Last year, my little sister Joely was in a production of Fun Home. She played small Alison. I loved the show so much I saw it fifteen times and I’m still not sick of it. I drew a picture of her as small Alison and gave it to her the day the show closed.
