"Questionable" Mushrooms


The stuff I send down to Bristol Ren Faire is a wide mix of stuffed toys and catnip toys. This year I had a few new items for them.  Usually I tell them in advance (like the lavender bats) but I kept the new mushroom cat toys a secret. When they came to pick up I told them I had a new item, sort of a 'questionable mushroom, they're mottled, maybe not all that safe to eat, and they may be toxic' and brought out the ones I'd made with skull fabric.  They LOVED them.  Apparently their booth is right across from a mushroom and veggie selling food stand at the event. They want to taunt them with the 'questionable mushrooms'.  LOL
 
Here's the fabric I used. It's a flannel, and apparently is now a discontinued print after being at JoAnn Fabrics for only a year.  I did the mushroom stems in white.  The stem I cut in 3 1/2" by 2 1/2", fold in half and sew down the short side, turn and stuff.  The mushroom cap is a 6" circle I gather stitch, stuff and close, sewing the stem on at that point.

I tried dropping in the picture but it messed up somehow.  Sorry.
