Pup Power

I made these two little pups for my grandsons. I saw the kit on one of my favorite craft blogs, The Purl Bee, but the fabric was a bit pricey. I decided to research buying my own wool material and bought it when it went on sale.   So, instead of paying $62 for one canine, I was able to order the pattern for $12 and buy enough fabric for 2 puppies for just under $25. I also repurposed fabric for the ears and the top of the head from some vintage hats that belonged to my dad. I loved how they turned out and so did my two grandboys!
