#cheffers

in honour of Tiny Chef and his ethos of reduce, reuse and recycle, every part of this homemade Tiny Chef plushie and accompanying Crispin the Kiwi companion came from my scrapbag of leftover parts from previous projects. The only "new" items were Chef's safety eyes and the shirt used to make his hat - which was an old work shirt kindly donated by my partner, since they no longer wore it.

And yes, the little green heart *is* a working pocket.

Today I'm going to be introducing him to my other favourite TV chef, Vincent Price:

after watching the Tiny Chef Needs Your Help video, I spent most of Sunday watching all his shorts on YouTube and stitching together a Tiny Chef plush of my own

(I know there's an official one but it's sold out even on pre-order and lbr I probably couldn't afford it anyway)

His legs are from a Ronald McDonald House plush, but the rest of him I stitched together myself - he should really have longer and thinner arms and legs, but the claws I made are about as thin as I'm comfortable making.

If I made another one, I would probably use smaller safety eyes and put them closer together.

I still need to pick a pocket design for his apron, and I've left the bottom hem unfinished because I'm not sure I'm happy with the length (the material came from a McDonalds Happy Meal toy so what's here is all the fabric I had) and am considering adding a border at the end to lengthen it.

He's currently missing his iconic chef hat - I'll try to swing by the charity shops at some point this week and see if I can pick up a cheap white or cream collared shirt, them use either the collar ot cuffs to form the hat band. Most of my offcuts are various types of fake fur / plush and I don't think they'll hold their shape or look quite right even if I do find a way to scaffold them.
