Scarecrow Inspiration

A few days ago my friend Angela dropped round a mini scarecrow-on-a-stick that she had bought at a local Charity Shop, with Loughton’s Scarecrow Trail in mind. Perhaps, Angela suggested, he could be a useful visual aid? He is indeed a sweet little chap, and he should not prove too challenging for even a novice crafter to make. Over the next day or two, I shall devise a pattern based on him. Maybe I will offer a scarecrow-making kit for sale to make up at home, or a workshop based on him that will appeal to embroiderers, seamstresses and textile artists? Will there be any takers, I wonder? Thank you Angela for thinking of me, and bringing me an inspirational, scarecrow-themed present.
