Sarubobo pen case and card holder

I made new versions of Sarubobo, on pouches.

The one is the pen case.
I attached a sarubobo on the edge.
I made the sarubobo with the same fabric as the inside.

Now I'm working on writing the how to make this pen case.
Please wait for a while.

The second one is the card holder.
It closes with a sarubobo. I put snap on the hand.

For the outside fabric, I used Japanese printed cotton which my mother gave me.
I like this flower print one very much.

Thank you very much for seeing them.
Umm, can I find more variations???

Sarubobo variation 3 !!!!!

I make sarubobo only these days!
Today I made more three patterns. All of them came up in my head while I was sleeping last night.
The first one is with bananas.

But the bananas don't look like bananas... I couldn't make a good pattern.

And the second one is a family. I wanted to stack them.

Father, mother and a baby.

I like this gingham check fabrics very much. It costs only 6-7 dollars per meter but really good fabric.

Cute hips!

The last one is a pouch.

I wanted to put a sarubobo on the code.

The bag is reversible, because I used my favorite fabric for the inside.

I hope you enjoy these three sarubobo like previous post.

Thank you!

Sarubobo variation 2!!!!!

Still going my sarubobo days.

From yesterday, I made more two sarubobo items.

The first one is a treasure box. Six sarubobo are saving it and I put batting, so it's very safe place to put your treasures.

Today, I got a package from my mother. She put some beautiful fabrics.

So I made these sarubobo.

They are playing at a tug of war.
When I made up these sarubobo, I asked my boyfriend, "What do you want them to play?". His answer is this.

It's fun to make lots of them! From yesterday, I made 13 sarubobo!!!!

Sarubobo variation

I made some styles of Sarubobo these days.

The first ones are hanging dolls.
I made nine sarubobo, and put them on the rope.

They are detachable from the rope.

They are in different poses.

I sewed their hands to catch the rope. Some of them catch the rope with their legs.

The other ones are with flowers.
I thought they wanted to have a flower in their hands.

The flowers are also detachable.

I like this flower, because I made it with the fabric from Ravenhill.
I love this flower print.

I think if I can give you some ideas.
Thank you for reading!

I wanted to write here the way to make Sarubobo plush.
It's easy and simple.
But I found some variations, so I tried some patterns.
The first one is very simple, traditional one. I need only one circle and one rectangle.
With this recipe, you can make this Sarubobo. This is the recipe 1.

If you put the head on the back, you can make this(It's flying!). This is the recipe 2.

And you can put hats on them. This is the recipe 3(The white one).

The last one has different body. I made it with not rectangle, but square pattern. In the traditional recipe, they make the body with square. But it has a big hole in the middle, so they put a cloth to hide it.
So I made a little different pattern to close the hole. This is the recipe 4(The pink one).

The recipe 1
This is the basic recipe. Prepare the pattens of 5 cm diameter circle and 5 x 6 cm rectangle. The circle one is for the head, and the rectangle is for the body. I put 5 mm allowance for each.

At first, make the head. Sew the edge of the circle roughly.

Then, put stuffing and pull the thread. Sew some places and make the ball.

To the next, make the body. Every corners is their hand or leg. And there should be left the space (1 cm) to turn it out.

Take one corner and fold it like the picture and sew from the middle of the shorter side to the end of the corner. I sewed it from some millimeters closer to the corner from the middle to make bigger space.

After you sew the four limbs, it comes like the picture.

Then turn it out from the space of the center.

And put the stuffing little by little from the corner. I put it with my hair pin.

Then close the space.

You made the body and the head.

Then, sew the head on the body. That's all.

I made the clothing for it. I only put the strip on it.

The recipe 2

Make the body and the head like the recipe 1, and put the head on the back of the body.

It's like flying!

The recipe 3
For this and for the recipe 4, I make the pattern little bigger than the recipe 1 and 2. The circle is 6.5 cm diameter, and the rectangle is 6 cm x 7 cm.
At first, make the head like the recipe 1.
