This pastel, cuddly version of Belinda Butterfly<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span> was sewn by Reen Wilcoxson<\/strong> using Cuddle fabric from Shannon Fabrics. I love how she has combined the different textures… and don’t you love the sparkly wings?\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There’s a sweet story behind these next (TWO) Belinda Butterflies <\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span>sewn by – Melissa Bryden! The butterfly with the yellow head belongs to this baby’s cousin, but she liked it so much (look at the grip she has it it!) that her grandmother Melissa made her one of her very own (the one with the purple head) for her first birthday! What a fun family photo, too.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
