Yesterday I was in the mood to create something colorful. I looked through my file of old patterns and decided to revisit one I hadn't made in several years – the turtle. Although I originally made these turtles with quilting cotton, looking at the pattern again I thought I would give it a try in wool felt.
And, of course, he needed a birthday hat with a little felted ball on top, and lots of embelishment with felt flowers and polka dots. Maybe the hat needs a ribbon to tie it under his chin?
I'm glad I went back and tried this pattern again.

Sweet. I think it is a great idea to try the same pattern in differing fabrics. The look can change dramatically. Glad to see you so busy as you near the end of your pregnancy. I remember feeling pretty ambitious with my late pregnancies as well. Then, when the baby was born, I really relaxed and took the time out I needed.

I love your turtle! He is so cute. I think a ribbon for the hat would be adorable.

I have not written up this turtle pattern yet. I'm glad you like it, though! I may have the actual turtle for sale in my Etsy shop in a few weeks.
