This is Winnie.  Winnie's mommy named her Winnifred, but she hates that name, so her friends call her Winnie (you can call her Winnie too.)  In addition to having bad taste in names, Winnie's mom is a witch. So Winnie has to wear silly clothes like orange and black striped tights, and has to learn how to ride a broom... and do you SEE a dog in this picture?  NO. Winnie is allergic to cats and would LOVE a  dog, but noooooooooooo, Mommy says "Witch's have cats. That's they way it's always been."

So Winnie plays with the neighbour's dog whenever she gets a chance. The neighbour, by the way, is named Lisa.   Now THAT'S a pretty name (says Winnie.) 

Anyway - if you'd like to learn how to make Winnie - here are the instructions!

I started with this "colouring sheet"  from Cart Before The Horse



And used the colouring sheet as a template and traced her parts onto tracing paper in order to use them as a pattern ....





and made my decisions about what colours to use, fused the bits (this was all made of scraps of course - in fact, in a lot of cases, scraps of already fused fabric!) and then used my pattern to cut the bits out.



I free-hand cut her legs, 'cuz how hard can that be, right?  :)




For her, face, a little fugitive media got thrown in -


Dark blue dye crayon for her iris, light blue pastel for her outer eye, a mircon pen for outlining, and I made a boo-boo in that picture - I also used a bright pink dye crayon for her mouth - which I didn't try to "draw" - I just made a little splooch of pink and outlined with those pink and red markers.




As you probably noticed in the pic above as compared to this one, I decided to outline her in black using more of my fused scraps.  But when I was done that, something was still missing... her collar looked too bare.


So I gave her a little bow. 

I also made her cute little shoes which didn't come from the pattern - but I thought she wouldn't enjoy walking around on stumps - after all, her life is hard enough!

If you'd like to make Winnie - please feel free to click/print on that colouring sheet - s/he had offered it for free (only please don't sell the result as is usual in these cases).

After I'd made her a little hanging sleeve, she was done.  A fun front door decoration, that took about an hour and 1/2 from start to finish (and that was mostly quilting time).  If you make one, please link up here so we can all see! 

Enjoy the day!
