Ever felt like you need a little helper to clean up your craft room? Well I’ve got a simple monster doll sewing project that will not only teach your kids to sew, but gobble up all those scraps that were headed to the bin.<\/p>\n

\"Sew<\/p>\n

It’s Sew a Softie month and I’ve joined in with 30 blogger from all over the world to create a softie for the Sew a Softie tutorial hop.<\/p>\n

The aim of the Sew a Softie Project<\/strong> is to encourage non-sewing adults and children to give hand sewing a go. You can read about the Sew a Softie movement here<\/a>. Organised by Trixie of www.colouredbuttons.com<\/a> the annual Sew a Softie blog hop has been running for 3 years now. Follow the #sewasoftie hashtag on Instagram for all the daily tutorials and patterns.<\/p>\n

How to make a Zero-Waste Gobble Monster Doll<\/h2>\n

Today I’ll show you how to make a little monster doll that loves gobbling up all sorts of scraps. He has a huge appetite and doesn’t mind eating yarn and fabric scraps that were destined for the bin!<\/p>\n

I’ve named him the Zero-Waste Gobble Monster because you’ll literally have no waste left over after you finish him – he’ll even gobble up the scraps left over from his own production.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t hard to find little pieces of yarn and fabric to feed this hungry fellow. I seem to have scraps of everything laying in every corner of my craft room.<\/p>\n

As a crafter I always try to be conscious of the waste I produce when making my projects, and this my little Gobble Monster doll is a great way to start a conversation about mindful consumption with kids.<\/p>\n

You don’t even need to use new felt to make this softie, any textile that doesn’t fray too much will work great. Old felted jumpers make great fabric for softie making.<\/p>\n
