Robbie has been made from a very well loved old pair of jeans that I had worn so much they had holes everywhere. He has been put together without a pattern (probably my first proper sewing project that has) and has been entirely hand stitched. He has a little bit of crochet for his arms and legs which have pipe cleaners in to make him more poseable. He has only been lightly stuffed to make him more hugable and my son has already spent some time giving him a few :-)
I really love Robbie and I already have plans of trying to make a Robbie mark II, perhaps as a smaller version. I'm also trying desperately to think of other bloke friendly toys/gifts that I can make as there are not many guys who would want to be given some of the cute girly stuff that I make. So if you have any ideas then please let me know!

he's adorable! love his crocheted arms!
When I first saw Robbie, I thought he was a backpack! He's very sweet just as he is, but if you wanted to try that idea... I think it'd work well with denim and he's the perfect shape... Just an idea!
Enjoy your crafty moments!

Like Never Knew I thought he was a back pack, maybe that could be the next step?
