Ok, I'm going to put my hand up and say I genuinely thought you had lost your freaking marbles when you bought that god awful looking jacket. I now see it was your genius at work as usual.
Before I post that, I am not talking about the vomit. I'm thinking more along the lines of 'even when you're feeling chundery you manage to come up with the baaaaaaingly creative goods'.
Oh he's superb! I couldn't quite work out yesterday whether you were actually going to seriously think about wearing that top or not. BTW - I was in Gisborne yesterday and spotted a gaggle of Ric-Rac characters in the Patchwork shop window. It was so exciting to see them all there!
I'm in awe of the cuteness too!! Now, at least, we won't have to see anyone wearing that jacket!!! You should take it back to the store and show them REAL art!
So sweet!. That jacket really knew how to speak to you. It wanted to be a sheep all along. Does your lovely new friend have a friend of her/his own? There is a story waiting to be told here..........
Oh Jodie! You've outdone yourself!!! No wonder this post has landed you a whopping 70 comments!! But, are you sure he's not a fox in sheeps clothing...? Just checking.... :D
Aw Jodiepoo, here I was thinking you'd got 'tude and was going to go chillin' with your homies in a white puffy poofffy hoodie... The sheep is cute, almost as cute as me...
Ewe are flocking amazing! Hope the cough, cough, vomit is getting better. By the time my daughter recovered from whooping cough, she was an expert vomiter - discreet, tidy, no fuss. Just think what a skill to have on your CV.
Awwwww. Glad I'm not the only one who sees fabric where other people see clothes! Since you're not feeling well, I won't pester you for a story to go with. ;0)
who knew that such an ugly jumper could turn into a truly delightful little lamb. You are a very talented lady...but we all knew that. glad you are on the mend Rebecca
Definitely the best use for hideous polar fleece I have seen lately. Maybe you could make it your mission to commandeer every single polar fleece in the world and turn them into a sort of sheep army, but a cute one? (Can you guess that I hate polar fleece? My cousin's entire family wears them all the time .. even to FUNERALS!!)
Too damn cute. Did you cut up that unsuspecting jacket? Hey jacket....come home with me....whack. It was so worth it. I bet the scraps can make an entire family.
Please tell me that is going to be a pattern sometime soon - as a kindy teacher I am ALWAYS on the lookout for a suitable "baa baa black sheep" (and surprisingly you can never find a decent black sheep puppet or softie) Please pretty please turn it into a pattern so that it can sit with my other projects in waiting?!? Love your work!
Hi, I am Jodie Carleton. I started this blog in 2007 and somehow a tiny business grew from it. So now when I am not at my regular job I can be found happily making toys in my sewing room or swearing at the computer as I try and write the patterns. I am obsessed with foxes, pinnochio, Red Riding Hood and mechanical toys- actually pretty much any toys.
Say Hi if you have time, feel free to email me with any questions you have, I'm always happy to procrastinate by answering emails.
These tutorials are here for you to have a try. Please feel free to make any number of these items for your own use or gift-giving but please do not make items to sell using these instructions.

Damn woman, you are FAST! He's (he?) is a-frikkin-dorable.
Too cute, you have to make more. Is there enough left over for a small flock???
I knew you were feeling a little sheepish!
As if, indeed. Even I knew you wouldn't go that far!
Adorable little ewe. Will she have companions? I just saw a 5 month old black Suffolk lamb at the County Fair that was pretty sweet too.
Just adorable Jodie! Baaaaaaaa indeed!
you must be feeling flocking better to come up with that little sweetie!
love it! soooooo cute!
Oh NO! I need that! Those come in flocks and then there is supposed to be a dog!

Lambykins is baa-eutiful.
Wow...you are just amazing....
You even do talented 'sick'!
Hang on.
Before I post that, I am not talking about the vomit. I'm thinking more along the lines of 'even when you're feeling chundery you manage to come up with the baaaaaaingly creative goods'.
OK?
Wow how cute, much better now than in that "lovely" coat you picked up!
You are so awesome Jodie! He is so cute. Did they have anymore of those jackets? You had better go buy them out so you can make a whole flock.
I saw that coming, but it's so much cuter than anything I imagined!!
Jodie, you work magic woman!!! Seriously. I love this chap. So totally gorgeous. CUTE!!!!!
Baaaaaa!!
Super cute Jodie!
And so clean despite all the rain and the mud.
I hope you are feeling much better. X
ewe'r fast woman... I take this wooly little chap to mean you are finally on the mend. :o)
Oh he's superb! I couldn't quite work out yesterday whether you were actually going to seriously think about wearing that top or not.
BTW - I was in Gisborne yesterday and spotted a gaggle of Ric-Rac characters in the Patchwork shop window. It was so exciting to see them all there!
Aw Jodie, Baaaaaaarbara (maybe) is gorgeous, then again Baaaaarney may be extremely handsome.
You are amazing.
OMG - that is soooooo cute! You have the gift!
So. Frickin. Cute!
Too, too cute xx
:)
What Tania said.
You are amazing. Such a cute wee baa-lamb, soooo much better than the silly jacket.
Oh, that wee face, such personality in that wee fuzzy face.
Cheers,
AJ
Baaa....baaaa...baaaa....baaaa...ba..Opps sorry! Translation:It is so cute and hi.
Isn't she lovely ... (the song popped up right away when seeing this cuty)
I love him! In an amazing coincidence we had our first lambs born last night :)
I thought delirium had kicked in when you bought that jacket.
Now I see it was the usual Jodie genius..
Looking much better than that jacket
I soooo knew that jacket was going to become a sheep! But I never thought it could be THAT cute!
so how many more can you cut out of that "gorgeous" jacket...........
honestly lady, you're going to have to rename your blog to cute toy city or something along those lines! everything you create is just so darn cute!
Corrie:)
Oh you're good. Love love love it :)
Fan-bllody-tastic. Now look how good that coat looks???!!!!
I can see from his stance he is a boxer looking for his gloves so I am guessing he is Muhammed Baa-li, right?
'Tis a jumper no more...
Trash you are hilarious!!
Ace one Jod.
BTW how much did the shop fleece you for that jacket?? hahahaha I'm funny.
Ha! Thought you were trying to pull the wool over our eyes with that coat you bought yesterday!!
That's just too damn cute!!!! (and the best use of a jacket I've ever seen). :D
So adorable!! and do we have a name?
Jodie, she is gorgeous! So much for my dressup idea. So want one! Please!
You totally have my attention!
I know (nodding my head wisely). As soon as you saw that jacket there he was struggling to get out! Toot sweet!
Thank God you came by.
A-maz-ing. He is the cutest!
Cute!
Holy Crap dude, you just whipped that up? While dying of consumption? Far out brussel sprout!
So, you're feeling at least a little better? I'm wondering what the little fellow is thinking.
Oh, precious!
Glad you saved your brain cells for something important.
Much better looking than that Jacket you showed in the last post.
Hope you are feeling better.
Oh, what an incredible transformation!!! BAAAAAA....
The cutest ever!!
I'm in awe of the cuteness too!! Now, at least, we won't have to see anyone wearing that jacket!!! You should take it back to the store and show them REAL art!
Keep the recovery going, we need you.
Yvette
Just so adorable...I love it.
Holy Sheep! Lady ewe are truly amazing! I love this wee fluffy friend. But really he is just amazing!
So sweet!. That jacket really knew how to speak to you. It wanted to be a sheep all along. Does your lovely new friend have a friend of her/his own?
There is a story waiting to be told here..........
So cute!!! I just saw this on the Needle and was totally charmed! Hope you're feeling better!
Eeeekkk!! I wanna squeeze him!!! Super cute! Hope you're feeling better =)
OMG... soooooo cute! I want one... or at least I want to make one! I love this sheep!
Ohhh, now this is just too cute... Great job!!!
Jodie :)
That was very quick work Jodie, Love him to bits! I bet the rest of the coat will follow into more sheep too. You have to have a flock!
Now that's a lamb from the hood!!! Very cute!!
Holy! This is cute!
He has a name?
Adorable, Jodie! Only you would think of that...
Ewe are too cute!
Oh Jodie! You've outdone yourself!!! No wonder this post has landed you a whopping 70 comments!! But, are you sure he's not a fox in sheeps clothing...?
Just checking....
:D
P.S I want one.
very cute, will we be seeing you walking around with a holey jacket lol
Hope you are feeling better! You must be! Because this little lamb is gorgeous!
Aw Jodiepoo, here I was thinking you'd got 'tude and was going to go chillin' with your homies in a white puffy poofffy hoodie...
The sheep is cute, almost as cute as me...
Lissa
who is super cute and full of crap...
Yikes!!! He's ADORABLE!!!!
Ewe are flocking amazing!
Hope the cough, cough, vomit is getting better. By the time my daughter recovered from whooping cough, she was an expert vomiter - discreet, tidy, no fuss. Just think what a skill to have on your CV.
Not baaaad! Is he/she called Shorn or Ewedora?
Damn you are good, even when sick you can come up with fab stuff. No woolly thinking here.
Or is this what softie-crafters do to get to sleep...make sheep?!
Awwwww. Glad I'm not the only one who sees fabric where other people see clothes! Since you're not feeling well, I won't pester you for a story to go with. ;0)
Oh, it is soooo cute :)))
Best wishes,
Tatyana
who knew that such an ugly jumper could turn into a truly delightful little lamb.
You are a very talented lady...but we all knew that.
glad you are on the mend
Rebecca
awesome!!
(vomit coughing shopping does wonders)
♥
You made the lamb in one day...?S/he is as gorgeous as the jacket was not.
P.S. Did you find pants as well?
Definitely the best use for hideous polar fleece I have seen lately. Maybe you could make it your mission to commandeer every single polar fleece in the world and turn them into a sort of sheep army, but a cute one? (Can you guess that I hate polar fleece? My cousin's entire family wears them all the time .. even to FUNERALS!!)
and it's certainly not as hideous as it once was. In fact, it's rather sweet. Who would have thunk it?

Too damn cute. Did you cut up that unsuspecting jacket? Hey jacket....come home with me....whack. It was so worth it. I bet the scraps can make an entire family.
Good on ewe! Sorry, I couldn't resist. As a girl from merino country, I love it! x
Get outta here!!! He's too cute!
Gorgeous transformation! I've been wanting to give new life to some old clothes. I really should have a go at making some stuffies.
Thanks for sharing so much inspiration in the tutorials and patterns on this site.
Now let me see if blogger will let me comment today...
Baaaaaaa Ba black sheep have you any unattractive black fluffy hoodies that can be made into a dark mate...?
Damn slow arse internets. I have been poking around your blog today Jodie and nearly died when I saw this. Too damn cute. Just too damn cute!
:)
That is the COAT?!?!?!
OMG... THE cutest softie I've ever seen!!!
Please tell me that is going to be a pattern sometime soon - as a kindy teacher I am ALWAYS on the lookout for a suitable "baa baa black sheep" (and surprisingly you can never find a decent black sheep puppet or softie) Please pretty please turn it into a pattern so that it can sit with my other projects in waiting?!?
Love your work!
