In case you missed it, last month, DiPerri dusted off Frega’s sewing machine to begin making Buddy plush toys for paid subscribers.
“How’s it going so far?” you ask? Well…
THIS WEEK:
Making arms and legs
WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Recently licensed cartoons

Hardy-har-har. No more fun and games.
Here come the problems.
Twelve hours later, I now know that the cause for last night’s issues were that the black thread I bought was a heavy thread, which is more appropriate for hand stitching. That’s why it kept getting caught in the machine and the feed dogs were pulling the fabric down into the machine. ::Sigh::
For now, time is up on the Buddy doll. I only just realized we’re well into September and deadlines for this year’s additions to our Coffee Lovers’ Christmas greeting card line are looming. More on that behind the paywall.
Do you know how to sew?
Let us know in the comments.
Here are a couple school cartoons that were licensed last week on CartoonStock.
Both cartoons were originally published in Kappan magazine.
