Children are a great motivator. If they show the slightest interest in something you're making for them, it spurs you on to finish when you otherwise would put that button hole off for, oh, another month or so.
Ella's tooth is getting wobblier by the day so if action wasn't taken, the tooth could have arrived with nowhere to go. She saw me sewing and had no idea what it was, so in the time I took to make it we were both kept entertained with her guesses as to what it was (cat, dog, horse!!)
This idea was totally borrowed from HopSkipJump and it was super easy and for some reason so very satisfying. I didn't get a shot of the reverse but I made a very small draw string bag and stitched it on for the tooth to live in until the fairy collects it. My shape, looking at it now, isn't very toothlike - but Peggy is very cuddly and I think rather sweet. Just got to wait it out now.

I love it, it is so cute!
Is is felt?
So nice to make something for your kids have them enjoy the process too :-)
Oh that is cute! Where does the tooth go? IS there a pocket on the back?
Very, very beautiful! :)
I think I have one tooth saved, too - if it wasn't stolen together with the necklaces and rings I owned.
very sweet. I immediately thought it was a tooth before reading your post, so it must look like one!
Really cute! I remember the losing teeth phase and I was such a chicken. Did you know Heidi Klum, the famous supermodel of Project Runway and Victoria Secret fame, carries a bag of all her teeth as a good luck charm! Gross, I thought, when she poured them all out for everyone to see on the Jay Leno Show over Thanksgiving.
Oh, I am going to totally copy the idea too, when my kids teeth start wobbling! Great job!
That is the cutest tooth I have ever seen. Useful and cuddly too - perfect!
