Over on Instagram there is a super adorable stitch along going on for Mollie from Wild Olive’s book, Stitch Love: Sweet Creatures Big & Small: Cute Kitties and Cows and Cubs and More…and a Yeti*.

Today is the end of round one, to stitch a Pocket Pal. You can read more about the #StitchLoveAlong here.

I had a hard time finding a garment for this. Neither of my girls own any jeans and I’ve stitched on a regular t-shirt before and wasn’t eager to do that again. So I found this old hoodie of Evie’s and went with it.

Since the pocket is at an angle I wanted to pick something that looked like it was actually coming out. I did a giraffe and just cut off his body. It turned out super cute and I want to stitch animals in every pocket I can.

If you didn’t take part in this round, there are two more! And Mollie is offering exclusive patterns for participants! So get stitching!
