Meet Olaf. He is the answer to the question: “Can this outfit be turned into a soft toy?” The pants were mine a long time ago and the shirt I picked up at a thrift store for a different project. I should have taken a picture actually wearing the outfit before I cut it all up, but there was a big, gaping hole in the shirt in a very conspicuous spot. I wasn’t sure if the pants would work, but my trusty little machine sewed through all those layers with just a little pushing on my part (and no swearing!). All the pockets still work and I may whip up a little polka dotted toy for Olaf to put in a pocket, but he may be to serious for that.

These are brilliant! Great mustachios!
There was an emptiness in my life and you have filled it. With mustaches.
No WAY! He’s brilliant! And witty and smart and clearly debonair. Wow. He ROCKS!!
Wow I love the use of those pants. They are so cute on him.
Oh I think Olaf needs a little friend for his pocket, but maybe someone tiny that can be hidden ,so he can still pretend to be big and serious.
he is gorgeous!! maybe a monacle?(in his pocket)
Ditto on the monacle. Oh thanks for the tag. I didn’t realise you had until now….
Darn he’s cute.
this series of soft toys is seriously wonderful. loving the clothing re-use.
Olaf is hilarious. Brilliant!
I think I remember you wearing those pants!
His little friend should be a mouse.
