Well I finally finished the felt playhouse and thought I would do a bit of a round up post showing where I got the ideas from etc. I am also using it to join in with this months pinaddicts hosted by Simplyoutnumbered

The initial felt playhouse picture came via Pinterest but was from Homemade by Jill

I adapted it as our table was a lot bigger and as such I added on different parts etc and made up a lot from my head.

I ordered all my felt from fabricland and found them extremely helpful and even with the courier charge they wee still cheaper than buying locally.  I ordered stick on velcro too but found this useless and most has ended up in the bin.  I had tried it on the door but have now left it open.  I need to replace the velcro on the fruit on the tree and will probably use poppers instead.

Buster loved the playhouse and I will get some new photos of it in use added asap- he has been sick from his birthday so we haven’t had a chance for photos.

Edited to add new photos- the house was played with and they had great fun!

Felt playhouse – first update

I have been trying to sew every night once Buster and K go to bed, this hasn’t been easy as if they wake I have to quickly clear everything and when we were away I didn’t take the sewing with me.

I have sewn up most parts on the actual frame so can hopefully start getting the sides and roof sewn together soon.  I still have decorations etc to sew but I think i am slowly seeing the finish line in sight!

The front is nearly finished but I still have to do curtains and maybe sew in some plants.  The door is on velcro so can (hopefully) be closed. twopointfourchildrenThe mail box flap lifts up so post can be put inside.

This one is finished I think! The dogs face is padded and the flap comes down to cover him.  Buster calls himself Sam and Sammy when playing so that is where the name came from.

I think this one is complete now too.  The lemons and apples are all stuck on with velcro so can be removed.

This one doesn’t look like much but it will be a shop, the baskets will be full, list below of what they will contain below; and the pink curtain will lift for the shop front.  I need to make an open and closed sign.

Inside the baskets will be

  • Fish
  • Carrots
  • Chicken drumsticks
  • onions
  • sweetcorn
  • apples
  • oranges
  • do-noughts
  • a cupcake
  • ice cream cones
  • and lastly lollipops

 

I will be glad to get this finished!

after deciding to make a felt playhouse for Buster for his birthday I have spent my evenings cutting out felt and sewing and neglecting twitter and the blogs I normally comment on.  I have decided to try to do updates on here so that I can see how far I have come and keep myself motivated.

None of the sides are finished as yet but at least two have had a good start with bits being made for the one of the other sides.  The front is yet to be started and is actually sitting in front of me at the minute as I want to measure it out tonight.

The sun needs more rays on this one and I need a name plate on the kennel.  The kennel door flaps over to cover the dog.

The lemons and apples are all stuck on with velcro so that Buster can remove them and change them about. There is grass at the bottom which I have cut out of the picture by mistake!

Excuse the rubbish pictures I will do better soon! In this photo we have two bananas, three carrots, 4 (gold) fish, 2 oranges, 2 onions, 3 drumsticks and 2 corn on the cobs (that need more work done to them!)

Tonight I hope to measure out the front panel, the door and window.  I have already cut out the frill for the top, grass, a post box and a window box with three flowers.  All still need sewn up!

Hopefully I will post an update again soon.
