MINI MINDFUL ME (First released Jan 2023)
Make your very own Mini Me. As unique and wonderful as you!
The first Make-A-Long project of 2023 is this delightful Mini Me. A 22cm tall embroidered felt likeness of yourself. This digital download has all the instrutions and templates you need to make your own Mini Me - completey bespoke and unique just like you.
I wanted to develop this Mini Me project so you can create your own likeness in felt form, a little mascot that you can talk kindly to, fill with affirmations and love. My personal Mini Me has embroidered floral feet, protective stars on her back, and a bejewelled hairstyle, she is wearing tiny versions of my favourite clothes. I often find myself chatting to her, discussing conundrums and I definitely think the act of vocalising my thoughts helps me process them more quickly rather than letting them whirl around in my head! The download includes a creative questionaire heping you to get thinking about your positive traits, places and people you hold dear, all things you can use to make your Mini Me unique.
Your Mini Mindful Me stands about 22cm high and wil become your constant companion and confidant what ever age you are. This project is ideal for adventurous beginners and experienced stitchers alike. The 14 page instruction booklet has 8 pages of photographic step by step instructions and I like to think they are very detailed and easy to follow.
This download includes all the instructions you need to create your own Mini Mindful Me
